9. The Next Yao Ming?
The Chinese giant was so dazzled by the lights of Las Vegas that he didn t notice the furtive glances of the tourists gathering around him. Now he was gazing out over the gaudiest stretch of urban landscape in America. He marveled at the brightly illuminated replicas of the Eiffel Tower, the Manhattan skyline, the dazzling fountains of Rome . A red-faced American tourist broke the reverie . Hey, Yao Ming! the man shouted. Yao Ming, you da man! It was the last thing the Chinese athlete wanted to hear. He gave a tight smile and then, as politely as he could, he recited one of the few English phrases he has committed to memory: I am not Yao Ming.
Maybe not. But Yi Jianlian had better get used to the lofty expectations. A lot of people on both sides of the Pacific are hoping that the talented 6 ft-11 ins teenager will be the next Yao Ming. Ever since Yao electrified the National Basketball Association last season as a rookie fresh out of Shanghai, a slew of agents, scouts1 and shoe-company reps have been looking for a Chinese player who can follow the large and lucrative footsteps of one of the league s biggest draws. Yi wears size-18 shoes, just like Yao. But it is the glimmer of his vast potential the explosive slam dunks, the boyish good looks, even the mystery surrounding his age that has catapulted Yi beyond where Yao stood at this point in his career.
