U.S. Experts:

There was Another Reason

for Absence of Yao Ming

Because of the injury, Yao Ming may not play all games in next season. This may be the current point of view of many experts and fans. But in the "Sports Illustrated", the expert Chris – Mannix said, this was not the real reason for the absence of Yao Ming. When answering the question among the fans, Mannix said that Yao didn’t play next season was not due to the condition of the body, but because the very poor record of Rocket Team, at that time even if Yao Ming returned the competition, the team still can not do well.

In fact, from the outset, the Rocket refused to set the timing of any return for Yao, because they wanted to take charge of the center in order to make sure the centre have access to adequate rest so that the injury will be fully recovered, but they also expect Yao back to the training camp in 2010. While some people do not believe he can participate in the new season, but they still want to. Plenty of fans want to see if the Yao’s injury may be recovered more quickly than expected in order to catch up with the playoffs. However, this may not be realistic.

The fans raise a question: "Does Yao Ming have no wish to return this season?" Mannix answered the kind of question " A few weeks ago, Rockets general manager Daryl Morey once told me that Yao Ming may return in the 2009-10 seasons, but this is unlikely. Please do not believe that Yao Ming may return at some point this year, the news is not credible. "Mannix said," perhaps the main reason that he stays at home is that the record of the rocket is too bad that there is no meaning for the return of Yao Ming. So if you want to re-see the Rockets Yao Ming wearing jerseys to play, then we still have to wait until the first time next fall. "
