The strongest player in the history of Chinese basketball is Yao Ming. After all, he is the only player who can enter the All-Star multiple times in the NBA league. In the Rockets, his combination with Tracy McGrady was also the top combination in the league at the time. Which team wants to sign a contract with Yao Ming? At the center position, he can also compete with O'Neal. Yao Ming became a free agent in 2011. Unfortunately, Yao Ming's career in the NBA was very short. Injuries prevented Yao Ming from retiring. In 2010-11, Yao Ming lost his season due to injury and became a free agent. Due to Yao Ming's injury, few teams want to sign him. However, there was still a team in the NBA that offered Yao Ming an olive branch. Do you know which team it was at that time?
At that time, there was only one team that wanted to sign, and that was the Lakers. At that time, Gasol of the Lakers was a bit old and his condition had declined a lot.

When Yao Ming first entered the league, no one was optimistic about him. Even Barkley ridiculed that Yao Ming would never score more than 19 points in the new season. But later Yao Ming proved through his own strength that 19 points is not a problem. Moreover, Yao Ming not only scored 19 points in the new season, but also entered the NBA All-Stars.
