没想到易建联在雄鹿队打得那么好刚开始我还以为他受不了高强度的比赛呢

I had no idea that Yi Jianlian would be so good on the Bucks. When he first started, I though he wouldn't be able to take the high pressure of an NBA game.
是啊他比姚明刚去的表现好多了姚明刚去火箭的时候不是摔跤就是犯规一场球忙了半天最后还是竹篮打水一场空
shì 是ā 啊tā 他bǐ 比Yáo Míng 姚明gāng 刚qù 去de 的biǎoxiàn 表现hǎo 好duō 多le 了Yáo Míng 姚明gāng 刚qù 去Huǒjiàn 火箭de 的shíhou 时候bù 不shì 是shuāijiāo 摔跤jiùshì 就是fànguī 犯规yī 一chǎng 场qiú 球máng 忙le 了bàntiān 半天zuìhòu 最后háishì 还是zhúlán dǎshuǐ yīchǎngkōng 竹篮打水一场空
Yeah. He's doing a lot better than Yao Ming did when he first went to the NBA. When he first went to play for the Rockets, Yao Ming was always either stumbling or making fouls. He was always running around, but it was like carrying water in a bamboo basket-- totally pointless.
不过现在他的实力可是毋庸置疑的不仅是球队的核心球员甚至有人觉得他是的第一中锋真想不到我们中国人能在站住脚像当年刚看的时候觉得球员脚下都装了弹簧而且能在空中飞那球玩得可真是出神入化
bùguò 不过xiànzài 现在tā 他de 的shílì 实力kěshì 可是wúyōngzhìyí 毋庸置疑de 的bùjǐn 不仅shì 是qiúduì 球队de 的héxīn 核心qiúyuán 球员shènzhì 甚至yǒurén 有人juéde 觉得tā 他shì 是de 的dìyī 第一zhōngfēng 中锋zhēn 真xiǎngbùdào 想不到wǒmen 我们zhōngguórén 中国人néng 能zài 在zhànzhùjiǎo 站住脚xiàng 像dāngnián 当年gāng 刚kàn 看de 的shíhou 时候juéde 觉得qiúyuán 球员jiǎoxià 脚下dōu 都zhuāng le 装了tánhuáng 弹簧érqiě 而且néng 能zài 在kōngzhōng 空中fēi 飞nà 那qiú 球wán 玩de 得kě 可zhēnshì 真是chūshénrùhuà 出神入化
But now there is no question about his abilities. Not only is he a core player on the team. Some people go so far as to say he's the best center in the NBA. I really had no idea we Chinese could hold our own in the NBA. When I first started watching the NBA in the old days, I thought the players had springs on their feet and could fly through the air. They were truly incredible.
是啊不知不觉在中国转播都快二十年了以前看一场球多不容易像过年一样有人逃学请假看现在每个礼拜都有好几场直播

Yeah! It kind of crept up on us, but the NBA has been broadcasting in China for nearly twenty years now. It used to be really hard to see a game-- it was like Chinese New Year! People would cut classes or take time off from work to watch it. Now, there are a bunch of live broadcasts every weekend.
