Houston Rockets' NBA
star Yao Ming Monday came back to China, ahead of his
schedule.
No reporters, no fans, Yao made an abrupt landing at Beijing's Capital
International airport. Only his agent and officials from the national
basketball team receive him
at the VIP room.
In shirt of sky-blue, Yao appeared to be very
relaxed. An operation on ankle seems making no hindrance
on walking.
Yao was back to attend a bundle of sports as well as commercial
activities, including training and matches of the national team, NBA China
training camp and the premiere of a movie Yao participates in acting.
Many of those on schedule were previously unfeasible , but Yao's early
coming back, prompted to join trainings with the new select of national
team by Nation's Basketball Administration, has made them realistic.
Receiving an operation on ankle by a reputed American Chinese physician
in the US, Yao won't start training right away with the national team
until another check by the physician who plans to come later to China.
National team officials also hope the professional could help to
diagnose other injuries inside the team.
Before the boarding from San Francisco, Yao had a dinner with Miao
Lijie, who is now playing as a guard in WNBA's Sacramento Monarchs.
On the table, Yao told Miao "Sunshine comes after storms" as Miao
complained about her mere chances to play.
