How did the American fans react when Yao Ming won the first place in the NBA? Applause or boo?

As we all know, Yao Ming was selected as the No.1 pick by the Houston Rockets in 2002. In the ten years since he entered the league, Yao Ming has set countless records, and he has almost become the most successful foreign player. But behind his success, no one knows how much sweat Yao Ming paid to reach the top step by step. There are injuries, language barriers, eating habits and even racial discrimination. Of course, all this has to start with the draft.

Scout report Before the draft in the United States, there was an industry called scout. Scout report was almost the biggest measure of the team's potential value to the players, and the scout report predicted the players quite accurately. At that time, Yao Ming's scout report was given by the famous scout Kathy. He wrote: Yao Ming is tall and fast, and he has a soft shot, a wide vision of passing, strong defensive ability and competitiveness; The most noteworthy passage: Will there be another Yao Ming in the NBA in the next two or three years? number

Let's take a look at Yao Ming's performance in CBA before the draft. In the regular season of the season, he scored 32 points 19 rebounds and 4.8 blocks, hitting more than 70%, and finally helped the team win the championship easily. Yao Ming finals averaged 4 1.3 points and 2 1.0 rebounds and 4.3 blocks in four games, and the MVP of the regular season and the MVP of the finals (01season) were combined into one.

It is reported that Yao Ming's trial training attracted as many as 60 scouts to visit, and the general manager of almost every team was also present. Such a great influence was absolutely unprecedented for a foreign player at that time. Therefore, the Rockets management decided to sign Yao Ming with the No.1 pick, which is definitely a decision that can be made without thinking.

Yao Ming's referee report was very optimistic about Yao Ming on the night of the draft, but in the United States, where the Internet was underdeveloped at that time, fans had never even heard of Yao Ming's name, so they absolutely opposed a China player being elected as the No.1 scholar. When david stern announced that the Rockets had selected Yao Ming with the No.1 pick, the American fans at the scene were booed one after another. It is conceivable that Yao Ming was still shy at that time. Of course, it is gratifying that the China fans at the scene are also quite powerful, tearing the banner of Yao Ming's portrait to support Yao Ming.

Yao Ming proved his strength with his actions. Later, Buckley kissed the ass of the donkey, which must be clear to everyone. Anyone who looks down on Yao Ming will be slapped in the face. In addition to Buckley, there was O 'Neill, the first center at that time. At first O 'Neill looked down on Yao Ming, so in the first match between the two sides, O 'Neill seemed a little careless, so he ate Yao Ming twice at the beginning, and then Yao Ming scored a goal on O 'Neill's head, and O 'Neill began to face Yao Ming directly. As time went on, they became good friends.

Now that Yao Ming has retired and been elected to the American Basketball Hall of Fame, it is undoubtedly the greatest affirmation of his NBA trip. Yao Ming's anecdote in the NBA finally became a much-told story. As the starting point of Yao Ming's NBA trip, the draft is green and the supreme glory of his life journey.

In 2002, Yao Ming was selected as the No.1 pick by the Rockets. At that time, many American fans didn't buy it. At that time, Houston fans were not happy that the Rockets won the first place, but everyone booed. Many netizens also said that this is not unexpected. Because Americans have always looked down on the yellow race, for the first champion without American background, it is definitely unacceptable for the first time. Fortunately, Yao Ming didn't appear in the draft, and he didn't feel the "humiliation" from Americans at that moment. Of course, Yao Ming didn't embarrass China people, and he finally conquered American fans with his own ability.

Hello, in fact, when Yao Ming was selected as the No.1 pick by the Rockets, the first reaction of American fans was very shocking. They questioned the Rockets' decision, and questioned that Yao Ming could become the No.1 scholar, so it was normal to be booed. Later, Yao Ming relied on his own efforts to dispel the doubts of Americans and won the respect of American fans.

Before Yao Ming, many American fans and experts thought that the yellow race was not suitable for playing in the NBA, and some giants about the same height as Yao Ming didn't perform very well in the past, so Yao Ming's NBA prospects were looked down upon by many people. When david stern announced that Yao Ming was the No.1 scholar, the draft was booed.

It is against this background that Yao Ming began his NBA career. With his own efforts and constantly improving strength, he made Americans know him again. Especially after Buckley had to kiss up to the show because he looked down on Yao Ming, Yao Ming's popularity and attention soared. Yao Ming's humility and unique charm make Americans know China people again.

Time has proved that the rocket made the right choice. Although Yao Ming only played in the NBA for eight seasons due to injury, averaging 19.3 points and 9.7 rebounds, which did not bring the Rockets a championship, his contribution to the exchanges between the Rockets and Chinese and American basketball is obvious to all. He was also elected to the NBA Hall of Fame, and the Rockets officially retired his jersey number 1 1 in 20 17.

First of all, Yao Ming is a traditional center, and his athletic ability of more than 2 meters is a historical level.

Many scouts in the league actually know this, after all, the game in Shanghai will be very clear.

But one thing is that Yao Ming is the first No.1 scholar with no American background, which is actually quite powerful, and it can also shatter Yao Ming's statement that the No.1 scholar relies on the China market. Why haven't China players established themselves in the nba for so many years?

Let's see who is the class of 2002, Stoudemire, Boozer, Butler and Nene.

Why did the Rockets choose Yao Ming, the two top picks before the Rockets, one chose Thompson, one chose Olajuwon and two super insiders?

I always thought that only two teams in the league had the tradition of super center, one was the Lakers and the other was the Rockets.

On the other hand, the Rockets signed Yao Ming with the No.1 pick. The fans didn't know anything about it, but Yao Ming was very successful and didn't disappoint.

The existence of Yao Ming has opened the world view of western fans, and made them understand the fact that "yellow people" can also play the NBA well.

Yao Ming entered the NBA as the No.1 pick in 2002. Asians didn't perform well in the NBA at that time. In fact, "racial discrimination" has always existed in American society. In the world of NBA, they don't think highly of Yao Ming, especially when the Rockets signed Yao Ming as the No.1 pick, which makes them feel incredible. Of course, there were more boos than applause. Actually, this is normal. "The predecessors planted trees and the descendants enjoyed the cool" Yao Ming.

Yao Ming is Yao Ming, and his bones are full of frustration. If you don't like it, I'll prove it to you.

When Yao Ming first entered the NBA, they looked at him with a magnifying glass. If he makes a fool of himself a little, put it at infinity, obviously to see your joke. After several bad performances, Buckley made wild remarks. Yao Ming kissed Smith's ass when he got 19. Hehe, when this statement came out, Yao Ming scored 20 points in two games, which made Buckley's flattery a much-told story.

Then the first encounter with O 'Neill, the peak, became the focus. Yao Ming's big hat O 'Neill made the fans shine four times. This big player is not simple at all, so he became a star in the NBA.

Yao Ming played in the NBA for nine years, averaging 19. 1 minute, 9. 1 rebound. He gained fame and respect in the NBA, broke the imprisonment of cultural differences between the East and the West, and was deeply loved by fans everywhere. Yao Ming, who has great influence, was also successfully selected into the Snes Hall of Fame, the highest hall of basketball. Yao Ming will be remembered in the history of basketball.

America discriminates against yellow skin, followed by applause.

Mainly cultural differences.

Yao Ming participated in the NBA draft in 2002. When david stern, then president of NBA, announced that the Houston Rockets had selected Yao Ming as the No.1 pick, the scene was booed. Yes, there was a hiss at the scene.

Why did you shush Yao Ming? What is the status of basketball in America? I believe we all know that the best basketball players in the world are basically Americans, and the top pick in the draft every year is American. Yao Ming is not an American player, but a yellow-skinned player from China. When Stern announced that Yao Ming was the No.1 scholar, the scene was booed. Because not many people know Yao Ming at all, even if they do, there will be a rhythm, which is very common.

In fact, before Yao Ming, there was no precedent for foreign players to become the top pick in NBA history. Although Olajuwon is a Nigerian, he went to college in the United States, played in the NCAA League, had an American basketball background, and later became an American citizen. Yao Ming is the first foreign champion with no American basketball background in NBA history. Fans simply don't believe that such a yellow-skinned foreign player can adapt to the strength of the NBA. Just like an American who ranks first in the table tennis world, neither will China people. American fans have never seen a precedent for a foreign player to become the top pick in the NBA, so there must be doubts, whether it is a normal reaction or not, it is shh anyway.

However, at that time, Yao Ming didn't go to the draft scene to feel these boos, but watched the whole process of the draft through live video at home, only to know that the Rockets had chosen themselves with the No.1 pick.

Why are you so sure that during the difficult period of NBA adaptation, fans booed Yao Ming? This can be seen from Yao Minggang's performance in the NBA.

Yao Ming came to the NBA with the title of No.1 pick. At that time, the media and fans were not optimistic about Yao Ming's foothold in the NBA. Some players even showed intriguing expressions in the game, and even provoked Yao Ming. They refused to accept Yao Ming. Stoudemire was not satisfied when he knew that Yao Ming was the top scholar. He thinks that Yao Ming is not qualified to be the top scholar, but he only has. He provoked Yao Ming many times in the game and roared at Yao Ming. At this time, the boss couldn't stand it any longer. He pushed Stoudemire away and stood up for Yao Ming, so the boss was deeply loved by China fans.

Marbury moved to Yao Ming during his rookie season in Yao Ming. Marbury was playing for the Suns. In a game against the Rockets, Marbury used his teammates to cover the dislocation of Yao Ming. In the face of Yao Ming's defense, Marbury broke through, eager to keep up with Marbury's Yao Ming, and fell to the ground with unstable center of gravity, while the Suns bench was laughing their heads off. Players laugh at Yao Ming so much, not to mention the fans, who are eager to see Yao Ming make a fool of himself!

Yao Minggang's first five games in the NBA were poor, averaging only 2.6 points and 3.6 rebounds. Many media and fans ridiculed that Yao Ming would become the champion of parallel imports. Buckley even boasted on the show that if Yao Ming scored 65,438+09 points in a game, he would kiss kenny smith's ass.

It's really not easy for Yao Ming, a yellow-skinned Asian player, to prove his strength in the NBA. At first, he was laughed at by everyone. Finally, he slowly established his position in the NBA through his performance and proved his strength.

Laughed and despised by American fans, media and players from the beginning, it took Yao Ming less than half a season to prove to everyone that he was not a top parallel, and won respect with his outstanding performance. Since then, Yao Ming's performance has become better and better. He was selected as an All-Star for eight years in a row and five times in the All-Star team. In addition, he retired from the Rockets jersey and was elected to the naismith Hall of Fame. Who dares to question that Yao Ming is not worthy of the top scholar at this time?

That is, from Yao Ming to play excellent performance, no one dares to say that Asian players can't succeed in the NBA. When American fans saw that Yao Ming was so popular, there were crowds everywhere. They lined up one after another to ask for Yao Ming's autograph. Dayao turned boos into applause with his strength. It seems that the way to break the doubt is to prove it to them with strength and convince them with strength.

Yao Ming is one of the greatest basketball players in China. Although he is not the first China player to enter the NBA, he is undoubtedly the most successful player. During his nine-year career, Yao Ming played for only one team of the Rockets. China people always know how to be grateful. Since the Rockets dare to choose themselves with the No.1 pick, Yao Ming will dedicate all his commercial value. Facts have proved that the rocket is right. Yao Ming not only indirectly extended the NBA league to the other side of the ocean, but also fattened the rockets. Yao Ming During the Rockets period, Houston was the home of China fans, and a large number of domestic advertisers followed suit, making the Rockets earn a lot of money.

So, when Yao Ming won the first prize, how did American fans react? Applause or boo? In fact, the NBA was basically American players in the last century, and few foreign players played in the league. After entering the new century, david stern began to plan some powerful international players to develop in the NBA to realize the internationalization of the league, and Yao Ming is one of them. Before entering the NBA, Yao had a good time in China. He fought in CBA for five seasons, averaging 22. 1 point, 1.7 assists, 15. 1 rebounds, 4.5 blocks and 1.5 steals. 200 1, Yao Ming not only won the regular season FMVP.

It was because of Yao Ming's excellent performance that NBA scouts noticed this big man from the east. However, although Yao Ming is well-known in China, at the beginning of the new century, under the condition of underdeveloped information dissemination, his influence is not enough for all American fans to know. When david stern announced that the Rockets had chosen Yao Ming as the No.1 pick, boos broke out at the scene. Not all the draft players and fans at the scene know Yao Ming. Even if they know Yao Ming, some people will deliberately bring rhythm. At that time, there were not many international players, and almost no American fans thought that a yellow-skinned foreign player could adapt to the strength of the NBA. Although there were big men, there was no shortage of giants in the NBA at that time.

But fortunately, Yao Ming was not at the scene. Different from previous draft conferences, Yao Ming didn't go to the scene in person, but only learned that he was selected as the No.1 scholar through TV. Rockets dare to choose Yao Ming first, on the one hand, to spy on the China market, on the other hand, to believe that Yao has a firm foothold in the NBA. NBA scouts are very accurate in judging people. Yao Ming is tall, soft in shooting, wide in passing vision, strong in defense and competitive. These advantages are enough for the Rockets management to take action against Yao Ming. This is the case in the NBA. Powerful players may not be able to stand in the league, but also adapt to the big environment. Yi Jianlian is the best player in China, but he has not yet established himself in the NBA.

Yao Ming's rookie season was not easy. He was ridiculed by Marbury, laughed at by O 'Neill and Buckley, and all doubts were cast on Yao Ming. Almost all American fans think that the Rockets made a bad decision. However, after several competitions, Yao Ming gradually integrated into the new environment. He practiced his skills and studied English hard. With the help of his teammates, Yao Ming's next performance surprised the skeptics. Now nearly 20 years have passed, and no China player can reach the height like Yao Ming. On the contrary, two Japanese players have established themselves in the NBA. If China wants to stand at the top of Asia, it still needs to be honed in high-level leagues. Qi zhou has fallen. Who is the next China player to enter the NBA?
