At the draw ceremony of the 20 19 Men's Basketball World Cup, chinese basketball association President Yao Ming also showed his humor on the stage. He jokingly said to Kobe sitting under the stage, "Hey! Dude, my knee still hurts! " Also caused a lot of laughter. Yao Ming said that in the first game of the Western Conference semifinals in 2009, the Los Angeles Lakers played against the Houston Rockets at home. In that game, Kobe accidentally bumped his knee into Yao Ming in a breakthrough, causing Yao Ming to fall to the ground on the spot. Although the team doctor repeatedly asked Yao Ming to give up the game and go back to the locker room for inspection, for the team's victory, Yao Ming insisted on returning to the stadium from the player tunnel, and finally led the Houston Rockets to win the game.
Unfortunately, in the third game of the Western Conference semi-final, Yao Ming was reimbursed for the stress fracture of his left ankle and missed the whole 2009-20 10 season. 20 10-20 1 1 season, although Yao Ming finally came back, he was injured again after only playing five games, so he had to choose 365438.
In fact, the collision between Kobe Bryant and Yao Ming at that time came from the front knee, not the main reason for Yao Ming's injury. Yao Ming's injuries mainly occurred in his ankle. Yao Ming, who is 2.26 meters tall and weighs more than120kg, has been under great pressure on his ankle, which has also caused his ankle to be repeatedly injured because he is overwhelmed.
In fact, at that time, in order to gain a foothold in the NBA, Yao Ming trained very hard. Later, in order to help China men's basketball team improve its performance, Yao Ming participated in the competition on behalf of the national team almost every summer, which led to heavy physical load, and finally he had to retire early because of the heavy load. If Yao Ming had given himself more rest time at that time, at least like some stars now, and chosen to adjust himself in turn during the season to ensure that his body could get effective rest time, then his career could have been extended for at least three to five years.
Unfortunately, on the one hand, in order to repay the gratitude of the Houston Rockets, and on the other hand, in order to help the China men's basketball team, Yao Ming has been working at a high load for many years, and finally had to accept the fate of early retirement. Kobe's impact can be said to be the last straw, but it is not the last straw to crush the camel.
