Yao took the Ghandi approach to another level moments later, when he was asked what he liked best about Shaq. Hes always smiling, ... And he seems like a very happy person. (Yao Ming)
It was not difficult because I love Houston and I have very good teammates, ... Our team is getting stronger. Everything is getting comfortable for me. (Yao Ming)
I think before we (left) Houston that this trip would maybe be a turning point for out team. We are like a new team. It started that first night, when we played Sacramento. We had some trouble in that game (falling behind by 14) but did not give up. (Yao Ming)
Usually I like going to the paint because I could get close shots, or physical contact and get a foul. Today, they didn't call it so I was afraid to go inside. (Yao Ming)
The talk has got to change, ... We need to do it for ourselves -- talk the talk and walk the walk. (Yao Ming)
We didn't end the game well. We were ahead by nine points with about three minutes left and then we didn't handle the ball well against the full court press. It became (a close) game. We have to know our opponent's strength. (Yao Ming)
For me, it's a breath of fresh air when we make a couple of shots from the outside. That takes a lot of pressure off me and my game. Before we make some shots, everything has to go inside and it's just too crowded. When our guards make some outside shots, we're able to move some stuff around better. (Yao Ming)
Everybody knows he's a super scorer, ... Also, he's a great passer. He had some turnovers tonight, but in a few games, those turnovers will turn into assists. (Yao Ming)
The NBA life has made me grow up a lot. I have not just grown up in my basketball skills, it's made me stronger and tougher. (Yao Ming)
I don't think I can play in the National Games. My contract (with the Rockets) d oesn't allow me though I really want to play (in the Games). (Yao Ming)
I have Mr. Alexander's trust and the chance to play in Houston, (Yao Ming)
This is the best game China has ever played against the Koreans. I don't think any team, even the US team, could hold South Korea to only two points in a quarter. (Yao Ming)
Basketball, in America, is like a culture. It is like a foreigner learning a new language. It is difficult to learn foreign languages and it will also be difficult for me to learn the culture for basketball here. (Yao Ming)
Today is barbecue my feet. It's pretty warm here. It's soft (turf), but it's heat. But we're from Texas. (Yao Ming)
It was like if I didn't keep reminding myself, I'd make mistakes. (Yao Ming)
