Story details
There are different opinions about how much money Yao Ming earned in his 9-year NBA career, but in a more vulgar way, it should be enough for several lifetimes. Rich as he is, Yao Ming is a model of frugality.
In 2004, China men's basketball team went to Dallas for a training trip. In order to show their support for the China men's basketball team, local Chinese send it to the hotel where the men's basketball team is stationed early every day. In order to get the team members used to eating more, they also brought small packages of pickled mustard tuber bought from China with them. At breakfast, Yao Ming is often in the middle row or the back row. At that time, many mustard tuber were half a bag or less left by other players. When Yao Ming arrived at the restaurant, he never opened a new bag to eat, but chose other bags that were not used up. Sometimes the coach and team doctor will persuade Yao Ming to get new ones, which are not very valuable anyway, but Yao Ming said that it is not easy to bring these mustard tuber from China, and the rest is clean, so we must eat them up. Until now, Yao Ming still adheres to the principle of "not wasting a grain".
Before retiring, Yao Ming returned to the Tiantan apartment where he lived for many years. In his room, there are several national team uniforms that he wore a few years ago. Although they are a little old, Yao Ming doesn't want to leave them. He specially asked someone to help him collect clothes, pack them and donate them to his "Yao Fund" for children in poor areas.
Say no to "playing big cards"
Du, a team doctor who has worked in the national team for 17 years, clearly remembers that in 2003, the China men's basketball team went to Qinhuangdao for training. At that time, Yao Ming had been playing in the NBA for 1 year, and his fame was already considerable. One night, the coaching staff informed all the team members and staff to attend a meeting on the third floor of the station, when all the China team members lived on the fifth floor. After Yao entered the meeting, he happened to be sitting next to Du. After sitting down, Du found Yao Ming tossing and turning in his notebook, and he was a little worried. He knew at once that he had forgotten his pen. Du thought at that time that such a big "wrist" still cared so much about the minutes of the meeting, so he took the initiative to lend the pen to Yao Ming, but Yao Ming said, "Lend it to me and you won't remember it. I'll get it myself. " As a result, Yao Ming ran to the fifth floor in slippers, took a pen and hurried back to the meeting place.
"I always feel that after an athlete becomes a star that attracts much attention, he will not care about such small details at all. He can ask me for a pen. But Yao Ming cares, his care is unconscious, and his quality is like this. " Recalling that little incident at that time, Du was still moved by Yao Ming's behavior.
The same details happened at the training ground. After the training session of the national team, the team doctor often gives the players a pot of hot water to soak their feet or do some relaxing massage. Every time, Yao Ming would seriously say "thank you" to the team doctor. Du said that from Yao Ming's tone and expression, we can clearly feel that he especially respects other people's labor. I'm afraid a world-class star can insist on saying these two words every time.
On another occasion, the staff of the Basketball Association brought 300 envelopes for Yao Ming to sign, and then handed them to the fans. Originally, they were very tired after training and had to face such a large amount of labor. However, Yao Ming signed them without saying anything, just rubbed his stiff right hand afterwards, and then showed his trademark smile.
There are 66 stitches and 28 steel nails in the chin.
Yao Ming is famous for his professionalism and patriotism. In the 2005 Asian Championship, China men's basketball team has basically decided to be the first in the group after defeating the strongest Lebanese team in the group stage. After this crucial battle, coach Junas arranged for all the players to rest and adjust, but before long, Yao Ming went straight to the training ground with towels and clothes, and the players and team staff were curious to ask. "training! According to the plan, I should take another training class. The national team game is over, and there are still some subjects in the NBA. " Yao Ming said.
Just before the Asian Championship, when Yao Ming was about to return from the NBA, there was a blood bubble in his left foot. In order to prevent inflammation, the team doctor of the Rockets helped him break the blood bubble. Even so, Yao Ming went into the power room the day after he returned home. At that time, Hu Jiashi, deputy director of the Basketball Center, was deeply moved. He thinks a star like Yao Ming can take a few days off, but Yao Ming doesn't.
Another thing happened at the Asian Championships in Qatar. In the group match with Lebanon, the two sides fought fiercely. Not long after the second quarter, Yao Ming's chin was hit by an opponent's elbow. At halftime, Yao Ming simply put a band-aid on it and asked to call again. After the game, the doctor of the Organizing Committee sewed four stitches for Yao Ming, but Du, a doctor of the national team, thought that the treatment was not good enough, so he sewed another stitch for Yao Ming. At that time, Yao Ming told Du that he had 66 stitches in his chin this time. One jaw has 66 stitches back and forth, which even experienced national team doctors have never seen.
Of course, the injury that eventually forced Yao Ming to retire was still on his foot. Before retiring, Yao Ming and Du chatted for a while. Yao Ming asked Dr. Du if he knew how many bones there were in the soles of people's feet, and Du replied that it was 25 to 26. Then Yao Ming told him that his left foot has 28 steel plates and steel nails, which means that there is at least one steel nail on each sole bone. This figure also surprised Dr. Du. Over the years, Yao Ming fought bloody battles on the court, using a lot of steel plates and nails. This professionalism is really admirable!
This genius, needless to say, is Yao Ming. Voltaire said: "Without great difficulties, there will be no great cause." Yes, life is like this: if you want scenery, you have to take risks.
