Can you sum up your question and see if it is incomplete?

1. Do Americans like Yao Ming?

2. Does the American public like Yao Ming as the domestic propaganda may imply?

3. Why do China media always promote Yao Ming?

Before answering these questions, correct a huge misunderstanding.

Yao Ming is the most delicate big man after Olajuwon because of his outstanding skills. A slightly amateur basketball fan may often underestimate Yao's technical content. First of all, many of the big man's skills are reflected in the action without the ball: moving, covering, blocking, pick and roll, rebounding, defense and hand-to-hand combat under the basket. Its muscle strength is far better than that of outside players, which determines that these skills are more difficult to show. In Yao Ming, apart from the natural muscle disadvantage of Asians, these aspects have been done quite well, and even the speed disadvantage has been made up. As an Asian center with a shoe height of 229, it is not easy to keep up with the African-American defender of 192 193 without much effort. More agile. One of the biggest reasons for Yao Ming's success is his agility. In his height class, Yao Ming's agility is comparable to Iverson's agility in his height class-I didn't say he could, but he did. Americans have rarely seen such agility. Feel it. Not to mention Yao Ming's sense of touch, free throws are better than defense, and he jumps, picks baskets from other people, and hooks the free throws one by one in the three-point line. This is also the result of his hard training. Compared with Kobe, Yao Ming's comprehensive level will definitely not work if it is all down (but Yao Ming is the peak, but Kobe Yao Ming will win-Kobe has won Yao Ming and Yao Ming has sat twice), but he hasn't lost much in talent. Although Kobe is famous for his hard work, he is the ancestor of hardworking people in China. You will have the illusion that Yao Ming only plays by height, mainly because the technical embodiment of the center is different.

If you don't believe me, you can look at the performance of Bradley or some other centers who are taller than Yao Ming ... Seeing Sun Mingming at 236, now the CBA substitute can't play, which is really not good.

Start answering questions seriously.

1, American basketball audiences generally have a very good impression of Yao Ming. Delicate touch, rich means, modest personality and humorous language. China's cultural symbols and the curse of his injury also made him a tragic hero. The word "hero" probably sums up the thoughts of normal American basketball fans about Yao Ming. Of course, basketball fans in Texas, especially in Houston, have a better impression of him. Although Yao Ming is a great player, his style, personality and almost all other factors prevent him from having crazy fans like Kobe, but he is not as controversial as Kobe: Yao Ming's image is almost completely positive.

I have no say in the second question. We have to answer the third question first.

This question is certainly easy to answer. Yao Ming is the only kid in China who has made his mark in the NBA. Of course, we should vigorously promote him. He is a flag of sports in China, and also the biggest messenger of China culture (physically and spiritually). What's more, promoting him will bring countless incomes to countless enterprises. Think about the summoning power he can have.

Go back to the second question. Because I don't know how powerful domestic advertising is, but I can estimate it. You don't even have to estimate. Outside Texas, few people are crazy about Yao Ming. Yao Ming is more of an admiration and appreciation of personality charm and court ability. If you ask me, this is the highest level a player can reach.

I hope I answered your question.
