易建联更像斯塔德迈尔英语美文

一场正在上演的CBA总决赛，正在吸引着媒体、球探、球迷，甚至远在美国的姚明。其实，大家关注的对象只有一个：即将参加NBA选秀的.易建联。在姚明看来，易建联具备了球星所需要的条件，称其打法与斯塔德迈尔非常相似。而作为“过来人”，姚明则建议易建联最好参加夏季联赛以便提前开始适应NBA的比赛节奏。

With several NBA scouts sending representatives to China to scout Yi Jianlian in the China Basketball Association finals, Rockets center Yao Ming offered his own, typically generous, scouting report.

"He is very close to a player who is in the NBA like I would say Amare Stoudemire," Yao said. "Yi is taller. He is almost seven-foot. He has a very nice touch, very athletic. He has everything (to be) a great player.

"From my experience, it is very important he plays in the summer league. The games played in the summer league I think will be good for him and for his team, whatever team drafts him. I was not in the summer league the year the Rockets drafted me so I had a very tough start in the beginning. For a player from China, I think you need time to adjust."

Yao never played against Yi, but they have been national team teammates for the past three years.

"When I left China, he just started to play," Yao said. We never matched up. I think he is a very good four. He can play a little bit of a five, sometimes. Good shot blocker. He just needs the right training, people who can tell him how to play on the NBA level."
