I'm not Yao Ming.
Since he came back from the big man training camp in the NBA last year, Yi Jianlian's name has always been preceded by an adjective with Yao Ming-the next Yao Ming, the second Yao Ming and Yao Ming Jr. This is the evaluation given to the boy by Time magazine, but it has also become Yi Jianlian's biggest psychological burden.
Reporter (hereinafter referred to as "Ji"): An article in Time magazine entitled "Who will be the next Yao Ming" gives Yi Jianlian's answer. Do you like the evaluation of Time magazine?
Yi Jianlian (hereinafter referred to as "Yi"): Don't care too much about what the media says, and so does the United States.
Time magazine is a very influential magazine. Undoubtedly, it has tapped the "vision" of new people. It is true that several sports figures were photographed by Time magazine, and then they became popular. Tiger Woods is one of them. However, Time magazine is not always Bole, and Jordan, the king of NBA, has not been on the stage of the times. At this point, Yi Jianlian showed maturity beyond his age. )
Reporter: Everyone adds an attribute before your name-"Yao Ming II". Do you like this title?
Yi: I am who I am, and I am not Yao Ming. He is indeed an example for me to learn, but not for me. I have my own technical characteristics and my own way to go. Really, don't call me that again.
Reporter: Yao Ming once said that you are the most promising young player in China. Are you happy to hear that?
Yi: In this case, the pressure will be even greater.
Reporter: The first NBA game Yao Ming watched in those years was the game between Houston Rockets and new york Knicks. A few years later, Yao Ming really put on the Rockets jersey. Which team played the first NBA game you watched?
Yi: I can't remember which game it was. My favorite team is Mavericks and Nowitzki is my favorite player. He is so old that he can have such flexible skills.
Reporter: Before the Spring Festival, several NBA scouts came to CBA to see people, and you were one of their concerns. Can you announce your timetable for landing in the NBA?
Yi: Eat your meals bit by bit and walk step by step. I just had a little performance in CBA league this year, and it's still a little early to say this.
I manage my own money.
Last August, after losing Yao Ming, Nike signed Yi Jianlian into its subsidiary. This 17-year-old child suddenly became a rich man, and was targeted by merchants without playing a CBA game.
Reporter: It is said that your contract with Nike is six years, reaching six figures, surpassing Yao Ming.
Yi: I can't disclose the details, but it really lightens the burden on my family.
Reporter: Do you give money to your parents?
Yi: I manage my own money, so I don't have to ask my parents for money.
Reporter: How are you going to spend the money?
Yi: There are no plans at present. Bought a laptop. I usually surf the Internet, watch DVDs, play games, and occasionally go to a small shop next to the dormitory to have a snack. But this little money is enough for salary.
Reporter: after reading your advertisement, it seems that you dare not look at the camera?
Yi: It may happen for the first time. However, it is not difficult to shoot basketball advertisements with everyone.
Reporter: Look at your 360-degree dunk. It's really beautiful.
Yi: That shot is the most difficult to shoot. I usually take off with my right leg and dunk with my left hand, but the director asked me to dunk with my right hand because of the problem of getting on the plane. Finally, they gave in, and the film crew readjusted the position and trajectory of the camera. Only a few shots were taken, and this group of shots passed.
Reporter: Is it difficult to shoot advertisements or to play competitions?
Yi: It is not easy. I am telling the truth.
Reporter: I heard that Nike made a shoe model specially for you in order to shoot an advertisement, and also made three new pairs of sports shoes.
Yi: Right.
Reporter: At that time, Yao Ming had its own Yao series. Now LeBron's salary is higher. Like Jordan, he has his own signature shoes. Have you ever thought about having a pair of his own signature shoes?
Yi: Possibility! (Laughter)
(For Yi Jianlian, the future can be completely summarized by this word. )
Call me Lian.
Little Giant, Two Towers and One Tower, Yao Ming II, China Men's Basketball Team's New Generation and Gilded Generation, World Youth Championship's First Scorer, Future Star, Maxima, China Men's Basketball Team's New Moving Great Wall, etc., can clearly show the audience's concern for Yi Jianlian.
Reporter: Can you accept so many names?
Yi: That's not my homework. All I know is that I want to practice the ball well. Of course, I still appreciate the attention and encouragement from the media and fans. They gave me these attributes and commendatory words, which are actually affirmation of my past achievements. I am very happy. I prefer playing basketball.
Reporter: With so many names, which one can you accept?
Yi: Call me "Little Giant" and I will accept it. Because my father is 1.99 meters tall and my mother is 1.73 meters tall, I grew to 1.93 meters right after I graduated from primary school, so it is difficult to become a giant. Of course, on the other hand, a real giant should not only have height, but also strength, otherwise he is just a "master". My strength is not enough, which is the direction of my efforts. I hope to become a veritable little giant as soon as possible.
Reporter: So, what should I call you to make you most comfortable, satisfied and kind?
Yi: Just call me Alian! One of Dai Jun's songs begins with "Alian". It is a girl. But this is the most intimate name. All my close friends call me Lian, hee hee. ...
This is him, an honest United Arab League, a real United Arab League. He became famous at a young age, but he was not tired of it. He is young and rich, but he is not trapped by wealth. If you want to be closer to him, call him Alian, and he will give you a bright smile in return.
