Why are there Chinese characters on the front of the NBA Rockets jersey? Does it have any special significance?

If you put aside the individual fans of the stars, ask which NBA team has the most fans in China! I think the answer is unquestionable, because in my impression, this red rocket carries too many memories of us Chinese! However, the Rockets can maintain high popularity in China. Yao Ming alone is not enough. Yao Ming is just the beginning. In recent years, the Rockets have attached great importance to the Chinese market. There is a big slogan on a billboard in Houston, USA, "Take a break, the Rockets wish the People's Republic of China the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China." It is really sincere. It also explains the Rockets’ intentions: “Chinese fans, we are going to eat you”! In the end, the Rockets defeated Shanghai with 69 points and almost scored 70 points. Congratulations to China for almost winning 70 points!

In fact, when the Rockets chose Yao Ming under tremendous pressure, the Chinese market was not the main reason. However, in addition to helping the Rockets on the court, Yao Ming actually allowed the Rockets to obtain huge dividends from the Chinese market! Back then, former Rockets boss Alexander made a lot of money in just a few years. To this day, the red Rockets of that year are still talked about by fans! The Rockets have retired Yao Ming's jersey. Give Chinese fans a new sense of belonging to the NBA! How could the team that gave Yao Mingjia the same warmth not become our home team? After Yao Ming, the relationship between the Rockets and China has not been interrupted. They recruited new candidates. The Rockets selected Chinese big man Zhou Qi with the 43rd pick on draft night, adding a Chinese element to the NBA. This was a long time since China was seen, and it also made Chinese fans feel elated again!

When Zhou Qi performed well in the Asian Games, Morey directly praised him. When a Chinese reporter asked about Zhou Qi's performance, Morey also gave high praise, but it is difficult to get a real NBA opportunity. It can only be said that Zhou Qi's role in China is too important for players who think they are marginalized to get such attention from the general manager. In fact, until the Rockets laid off Zhou Qi, they only paid a salary of US$1.32 million, but the Rockets gained immeasurable benefits through Zhou Qi! Chinese New Year Rockets are a must, official congratulations to China! There is also a city version of the Rockets jersey with a big Chinese Rocket printed on it! It can only be said that there is a certain reason why the Rockets can become the NBA home team for Chinese fans. The Rockets really have good intentions!

Every year in the NBA preseason, the Rockets come to China to compete with the Shanghai team. The reason is naturally that both teams were Yao Ming's home teams, but games like this really make Chinese fans have a good impression of the Rockets. Isn't it a blessing to see all NBA teams playing at home! Besides, the Rockets are here not only to gain Chinese fans, but also to make big money from them! But so what? As the lyrics say, some people don't know what is good, but no one can replace it!
