Yao Ming, successfully operated

It seems that Yao Ming, the Chinese giant of the NBA, has been successfully operated and can return to playing sports in the basket, which was in doubt due to a microfracture. Meanwhile, China has asked the NBA cut short his season.

The Houston Rockets are the team that has suffered injuries in recent years. Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady have been a non stop injuries (as McGrady's back problems and was well known) since the team came together in Texan. Given that this has not prevented the Rockets have given their opponents too much trouble (last year got the second best winning streak in history without Yao Ming half the games), have been able to count on these two stars all the time at 100%, the story would have been very different.

However, it seems clear that Yao Ming will not play any games of next season, 2009-2010, and that next summer could become a free agent. That is, they could collect 16 million this season with the Houston Rockets, no play or a game, and next year go to another.

As an example, that Yao Ming is taken with his long recovery philosophy is to Zydrunas Ilgauskas, who eight years ago faced a similar operation and was one of the best pivots in the league today and would not suffer.

His native country, meanwhile, criticized the NBA schedule. That to play 82 playoff games in just over 6 months does not seem quite right to the Chinese State, which accuses the league of Yao Ming's injury. Sure, the NBA has 82 games with a lot of time and do not think they have the authority to initiate a change in the calendar. What happens is that now the lower quality of the NBA, coupled with the leap in quality from many foreign countries, making players not just settle for playing in the NBA. Perhaps Americans do not want to participate in international competitions, but other players do want reprensentar to their country.
