III. Listening In
Task 1: Yao Ming
I first saw Yao Ming back in 1997. Nike had just signed a contract 1 to sponsor 2 the Shanghai Sharks. We had a little party to introduce ourselves and get to know the players. A few of us were there when the team walked in. They looked normal, most about 6’4’’ or so. Then, a thin, baby-faced guy about 7’5’’ came in. We were all surprised at seeing him. We couldn’t believe his size. And when he started hitting three-pointers, we were really blown away! Our guys in the U’S’ didn’t believe that there was a Chinese kid that tall. To convince 3 them, we had to bring him to a Nike camp in Paris that summer. Yao had always played against kids who were older than him. This was the first time he was competing with players his own age. Del Harris, then the Lakers coach, was at the camp. He fell in love with Yao Ming. He was telling everybody, “I got to have a picture with that kid. One day he’s going to have a real impact 4 on the NBA.”
