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.
Aside from Yao, two other Chinese hoopsters2 already play in the NBA: Mengke Bateer, a muscle-bound 6 ft-11 ins reserve center3 with the Toronto Raptors, and Wang Zhizhi, a lithe, 7 ft-2ins sharpshooter with the Los Angeles Clippers. Another player, a rail-thin center named Xue Yuyang, 20, was chosen in the second round in June s NBA draft, but Beijing rankled by his decision to enter the draft without official permission has refused to let him test his mettle in America. So instead NBA scouts and agents are focusing on the crop of younger players, ranging from Tang Zhengdong, 19, to prodigy Chen Jianghua, 14, a 6 ft-1in ball handler whose dunks look like something out of a Jet Li movie.
Nobody, though, seems a safer bet than Yi Jianlian. Yi was discovered in 1999 on a playground in the southern boomtown of Shenzhen. Barely out of grade school, he was already 6 ft-4 ins tall, a behemoth in a region known for its diminutive people. By the time he joined Guangdong s professional Chinese Basketball Association team last year, he was an astonishing 6ft-11 ins and he could leap and touch a spot more than 11 ft-6 ins off the ground. As Yi mastered new skills the midrange jumper, the baby hook, the reverse slam he attracted the attention of Adidas. Eager to loosen Nike s hold on Chinese basketball, the shoe company flew Yi to New Jersey for its ABCD Camp in the summer of 2002 . He was the only Chinese player there. It was an eye-opening experience for him, says Guangdong junior coach Zhang Zhenming. He came back with a very clear vision of where he wanted to go: the NBA.

CET4大學(xué)英語(yǔ)四級(jí)閱讀參考譯文：
誰(shuí)是下一個(gè)姚明?
拉 斯韋加斯的燈光如此眩目, 這位來(lái)自中國(guó)的巨人根本沒(méi)有注意到周圍的老外們悄悄打量他的目光。此時(shí), 他正凝眸遠(yuǎn)眺美國(guó)城市的一片奢華景象。他驚訝于燈光通明的埃菲爾鐵塔復(fù)制品, 高樓鱗次櫛比的曼哈頓空中輪廓線, 以及令人眼花繚亂的羅馬式噴泉。一個(gè)臉色紅潤(rùn)的美國(guó)游客打斷了他的遐思; 他大喊道: 嗨! 姚明! 你是姚明! 這是他最討厭聽(tīng)到的了。他微微一笑, 用他學(xué)到的簡(jiǎn)單英語(yǔ)盡量禮貌地回答: 不, 我不是姚明。
不是姚明, 誰(shuí)知道呢。易建聯(lián)最好習(xí)慣別人對(duì)他寄予的厚望。從上海加盟作為火箭隊(duì)新秀的姚明讓全美職業(yè)籃球賽如此轟動(dòng)之后, 大洋兩岸的人就期盼著這個(gè)身高2 .11 米的天才少年將會(huì)成為第二個(gè)姚明。一大群經(jīng)理人和球探還有運(yùn)動(dòng)鞋的品牌代表都把他看成是能夠跟隨姚明 這個(gè)聯(lián)賽最受人注目人物 巨大而利潤(rùn)豐厚腳步的人。易建聯(lián)現(xiàn)在 的鞋子的尺碼和姚明的一樣大。他表現(xiàn)出的巨大潛力 他的大力灌籃, 稚嫩的長(zhǎng)相,還有他有些神秘的年齡, 都使得他比姚明站在這個(gè)起點(diǎn)時(shí)更具優(yōu)勢(shì)。
在全美職業(yè)籃球賽打球的中國(guó)人, 現(xiàn)在除了姚明之外還有兩個(gè), 一個(gè)是身高2 .11 米壯碩的巴特爾, 效力于多倫多猛龍隊(duì)的后發(fā)中鋒; 一個(gè)是2.16 米身手敏捷的神投手王治郅,效力于洛杉磯快船隊(duì)。另外還有一個(gè)年方20 歲的身材消瘦的中鋒薛玉洋。他在今年夏天第二輪選秀中被小牛隊(duì)選中, 但是由于沒(méi)有經(jīng)過(guò)國(guó)家體育總局的同意就參加選秀賽, 他無(wú)法在這個(gè)賽季加盟全美職業(yè)籃球賽。全美職業(yè)籃球賽的球探們于是打起了那些更年輕的球員的主意, 比如19 歲的唐正東, 還有14 歲身高1 .86 米的籃球神童陳加華, 他扣籃的樣子有點(diǎn)像中國(guó)的動(dòng)作影星李連杰。
然而, 他們都無(wú)法與易建聯(lián)相比, 這位新銳的天才被更多的行家看好。1999 年易建聯(lián)在中國(guó)南方新興城市深圳的學(xué)校操場(chǎng)被發(fā)現(xiàn)。他剛小學(xué)畢業(yè)時(shí)已經(jīng)長(zhǎng)到1.93 米, 而在中國(guó), 南方人的身材通常都比較矮小, 因此就被身邊的人稱為巨人。他后來(lái)加盟中國(guó)籃球聯(lián)合會(huì)的廣東隊(duì), 當(dāng)時(shí)的身高已經(jīng)達(dá)到驚人的2 .11 米, 摸高達(dá)到3 .51 米, 而籃圈只有3.05 米高。當(dāng)易建聯(lián)掌握了新技術(shù) 中距離跳投、小勾手和轉(zhuǎn)身扣籃后, 吸引了世界著名運(yùn)動(dòng)產(chǎn)品公司阿迪達(dá)斯的注意。為了同中國(guó)籃球的主要贊助商耐克公司展開(kāi)競(jìng)爭(zhēng), 2002 年阿迪達(dá)斯公司邀請(qǐng)易建聯(lián)前往新澤西參加在那里舉行的ABCD 籃球訓(xùn)練營(yíng), 他也是訓(xùn)練營(yíng)中唯一一名來(lái)自中國(guó)的球員。來(lái)自廣東的青年教練張真明說(shuō): 這次經(jīng)歷使易建聯(lián)大開(kāi)眼界, 回來(lái)后易建聯(lián)第一次明確了自己要到全美職業(yè)籃球賽打球的目標(biāo)。
閱讀導(dǎo)評(píng)
電視上有報(bào)道說(shuō), 姚明最頭疼的事就是想知道有沒(méi)有什么事干了能不那么出名。看來(lái),古語(yǔ) 人怕出名豬怕壯 的確是亙古不變的真理。但是沒(méi)有姚明, 注定會(huì)有其他人補(bǔ)缺: 巨大的市場(chǎng)需求就是巨大的利潤(rùn)。中國(guó)商務(wù)部一位官員稱姚明可以為我國(guó)帶來(lái)一個(gè)中型企業(yè)才能帶來(lái)的穩(wěn)定外匯收入。所以我們需要這樣的人才, 并且要一個(gè)又一地出口到美國(guó)才能讓中美之間的貿(mào)易問(wèn)題不那么嚴(yán)肅 。易建聯(lián)很有希望。
閱讀講解：
1. scout n. ① 守望員, 偵察員, 斥候。② 偵察艦, 偵察機(jī), 搜索救援機(jī)。③ 童子軍。④ 偵察, 守望, 觀察。這個(gè)詞的意思還真多。最常見(jiàn)的是 童子軍 , 教小孩子紀(jì)律和野外生存的民間組織。這里是 星探 的意思。他們尋找適合打球的人然后推薦他們以此來(lái)謀生。
2. hoopster n. 籃球運(yùn)動(dòng)員。這篇文章里有很多的俚語(yǔ), 比如前一段的rep 就是representative的縮略。對(duì)于在正式出版物當(dāng)中使用俚語(yǔ)的問(wèn)題, 很多語(yǔ)言學(xué)家和語(yǔ)法學(xué)家都持批評(píng)和反對(duì)的態(tài)度, 但是現(xiàn)在美國(guó)很多的主流媒體, 包括《紐約時(shí)報(bào)》、有線資訊網(wǎng)等都大量使用俚語(yǔ)。對(duì)學(xué)生的建議是: 看懂即可, 請(qǐng)勿模仿。
3. center n. 中鋒 。其他位置有power forward ;small forward ; frontline ; point guard 或one-guard ; shooting guard 或two-guard ; backcourt ; sixth man 。
