My basketball journey began on the back of coach Li Zhangmin's bicycle when he gave me a ride to my very first practice on the basketball court. I would like to congratulate you on a great career as you retire this year. So many kids have benefited from you and your work.

我之所以会走上篮球之路，要感谢我的启蒙教练李章明先生。在我要去上第一节篮球训练课时，他送我一辆单车，我骑着它去参加训练。今年他即将退休，我要祝贺他有如此伟大的教练生涯，非常多的孩子在你的执教下受益匪浅。

Coach Li Qiuping you were my coach at the Shanghai Sharks. You led us to the CBA championship, and never gave up on us, even when you lost your wife to cancer that year. Thank you for your dedication and your sacrifices to us.

李秋平教练是我在上海大鲨鱼队的主教练。你带领着上海问鼎CBA冠军，从来不放弃我们，即使是那年您的妻子由于癌症去世。谢谢您对我们的付出以及为此做出的牺牲。

I want to thank the city of Shanghai, Shanghai Sharks and the CBA league did everything they could to prepare me. They raised me, trained me and helped me to be ready for the next challenges in my life.

同时我还要感谢上海，感谢上海大鲨鱼俱乐部，感谢CBA联盟，为我登陆NBA做好了各种准备。他们养育了我，训练了我，帮助我去面对人生的下一个挑战。
