Yao Ming still reluctant to retire
The game of basketball is one of the most loved sports in China these days and the credit of such appreciation and love for basketball in China goes to none other than Yao Ming. Unfortunately, the current year of 2010 has been a gloomy year for this veteran
performer as he has been suffering from a serious foot injury.
Yao Ming has performed in NBA’s eight seasons but has been sidelined from the team squad because of his foot injury. His current situation is not satisfactory as well. His absence from the basketball court since 2009 has made this thirty year old veteran
performer very frustrated and disappointed about his sporting career. The current year is very crucial for Yao Ming and this year can define his future basketball career. It is also to be remembered that Yao Ming’s injury is fatal and can remove him from the
basketball court for ever.
Regarding his career and future plans, Yao Ming seems very disappointed and concerned as he still wants to play for his country and for his most loved basketball club, Houston Rockets. In a very recent interview the 30-year old Chinese basketball legend
Yao Ming expressed his views in a state of despair and told the media that the upcoming season of basketball is very crucial and important for him as it can define his future career.
While talking about his playing performances and practice, Ming said that he has not been able to play for a whole year and it is very hard for him to regain his best playing form. Ming added that he is very concerned about his injury and he cannot take
risks anymore as it can get more serious.
While talking about his importance for his team the NBA star expressed his views by saying that every player plays for his team because playing a match is not an individual effort and his current foot injury will cause a risk for him and for his team as
well. Yao Ming seemed very confident about his future and told the media that he will try his best to recover as soon as possible and he will judge himself by playing some matches before getting into a conclusion. He added that his first and top priority is
to regain match fitness and play the next season of basketball.
After the injury of Yao Ming, the air was filled with news of Ming’s retirement from professional basketball as the condition of his foot injury is very fatal. But Yao Ming seems very reluctant about his retirement from the international basketball scene.
While talking about his retirement from the international basketball circuit the 30-year old told the media that he is not ready for that anymore as he has played basketball throughout his life and this is the one and only love for him. He added that he is
very well aware of the fact that his prime days are over but he is not looking forward to retirement.
Currently Yao Ming is busy working with his wife Ye Li in building Yao Ming Foundation Schools in the earthquake affected areas of China. Working in the earthquake affected areas has made him more patient and hardworking. While talking about his off court
life, Ming explained his thoughts by saying that despite the fact that basketball is his primary focus, working for Yao Ming Foundation is not at all boring as well.
Yao Ming is very concerned about the future Chinese basketball players as well. While answering a question about the future Chinese basketball team and stars Yao Ming said that the culture of sports in China is very different, here every athlete is governed
and supported by the government.
The current injury of this Chinese super star has dragged him out of the basketball court but his fans are still eager to watch him play his role in the basketball circuit for China.
