　　In a nod to Yao's jersey number with the Rockets, we present 11 things to know about theeight-time NBA All-Star and Hall of Famer:

　　為了向姚明在火箭隊的球衣號碼致敬，我們列舉出了關于這位八屆NBA全明星、名人堂成員的11件事情：

　　1.Draft

　　1.選秀

　　When the Rockets selected Yao with the first pick of the 2002 NBA draft, it marked the fifthtime in franchise history that the team made the No. 1 overall selection. Elvin Hayes (1968),Ralph Sampson (1983) and Hakeem Olajuwon (1984) preceded Yao into the Hall of Fame. TheRockets also selected John Lucas with the No. 1 overall selection in 1976.

　　當火箭隊在2002年NBA選秀大會以狀元秀的身份選中姚明時，這是這支球隊歷史上第五次拿到狀元簽。之前的四位已經(jīng)有三位入選了名人堂：埃爾文-海耶斯(1968)，拉爾夫-桑普森(1983)，哈基姆-奧拉朱旺(1984),另一位狀元是1976年的約什-盧卡斯。

　　2.First game, first start

　　2.第一場比賽 第一次首發(fā)

　　In his NBA debut, Yao played 11 minutes off the bench in a season-opening 91-82 road lossto the Indiana Pacers on Oct. 30, 2002. He grabbed two rebounds but didn't score, missing hisonly field-goal attempt. "I learned that I still have a lot to learn, and I'm just a rookie," Yaosaid through an interpreter. "It's a very long road. ... I didn't feel good to sit on the benchand watch my teammates losing. Of course, I want to contribute."

　　姚明的NBA職業(yè)生涯起始于板凳。2002年10月30日，作為替補出場的姚明第一場比賽只打了11分鐘，一次出手投籃不中，0分2籃板，火箭82-91客場負于步行者。“我的收獲是我還有很多需要學習的地方，而且我只是個新秀。”姚明通過翻譯說出了賽后感受：“這是一段漫長的路... ...坐在板凳上看到隊友們輸球，這種感覺真不好。當然，我想要為球隊做出貢獻。”

　　Yao made his first career start on Nov. 22, 2002, racking up 18 points, 8 rebounds and 4 blocksin 32 minutes as the Rockets beat the visiting Washington Wizards 93-86. "He's getting betterand better," Wizards guard Michael Jordan said afterward. "I think his footwork is better thanpeople thought. He's going to get even better as he gets used to playing in the NBA and thistype of competition."

　　不到一個月，姚明就在首次對陣喬丹的比賽中迎來了自己的第一次首發(fā)。2002年11月22日，火箭主場以93-86戰(zhàn)勝華盛頓奇才，首發(fā)出場的姚明取得了18分8籃板4蓋帽的漂亮成績單。賽后喬丹如此評價：“我認為他的腳步比人們想象的要好，等他適應了NBA的打法和比賽節(jié)奏，他會變得更好。”

　　4.Yao vs. Shaq

　　4.姚鯊對決

　　The first meeting between Yao and Shaquille O'Neal -- No. 1 overall picks drafted 10 yearsapart -- stands as one of the most eagerly anticipated individual matchups in NBA history. Yaoblocked O'Neal's first three shots and totaled 10 points, 10 rebounds and 6 blocks, as Houstonearned a 108-104 overtime win. O'Neal racked up 31 points and 13 rebounds. Steve Francisscored 44 points for Houston. Kobe Bryant fell one assist shy of a triple-double but shot 5-for-21 from the field.

　　這兩位相隔十年的狀元的第一次對陣就引起了NBA歷史上最令人矚目的關注。姚明蓋掉了奧尼爾的第一次三分球出手，并拿下10分10板6蓋帽，火箭加時以108-104戰(zhàn)勝奧尼爾帶隊的湖人隊，奧尼爾得到31分13籃板，弗朗西斯爆砍44分，科比差一次助攻三雙，但命中率卻只有21投5中。

　　"We beat the Lakers today, but Shaq is still Shaq," Yao said through an interpreter. "He's likea truck. ... It wore me out. I don't know how to describe it, because I've never encounteredsomebody that strong before." Said O'Neal, "He's a classy guy. I was looking forward to playinghim. He's a great player. It's another challenge for me."

　　我們打敗了湖人，但沙克還是沙克。他就像一輛大卡車...我簡直筋疲力盡。我不知道怎么形容，因為之前我從未碰到過這么壯的。”沙克則表示：“他是個優(yōu)等生。我很期待和他對陣，這對我來說是個挑戰(zhàn)。”

　　5.Shanghai Sharks

　　5.上海大鯊魚

　　Yao began his professional career at age 17 with Shanghai of the Chinese BasketballAssociation and won a championship in 2001-02, his final season in that league. He also ledthe Sharks to championship series appearances in 2000 and 2001. Years after moving on tothe NBA, Yao rescued his former team from financial peril by purchasing the franchise in 2009.

　　作為職業(yè)籃球運動員，姚明的運動生涯從17歲就開始了。作為中國籃球聯(lián)賽上海大鯊魚俱樂部的一員，他為球隊贏得了2001-02賽季的總冠軍，這也是他在CBA的最后一個賽季。2009年，姚明在經(jīng)濟危機的背景下買下了他之前效力的球隊，成了一名老板。

　　Yao emerged as the top player in the Chinese league in 2000-01, averaging 27.1 points, 19.4rebounds and 5.5 blocks per game. That season, the Sharks lost the championship to the BayiRockets, who were led by another future NBA center, Wang Zhizhi. When the Sharks won theirfirst title the following season, Yao averaged 32.4 points, 19.0 rebounds and 4.8 blocks pergame.

　　在家鄉(xiāng)球隊效力的日子里，2000-01賽季的姚明場均可以砍下27.1分19.4個籃板和5.5個蓋帽。那年大鯊魚在總決賽中負于未來另一位NBA中鋒王治郅領銜的八一隊。一年之后，姚明收獲了他的第一次冠軍，這賽季他的場均數(shù)據(jù)達到了32.4分19.0籃板和4.8蓋帽。
