2.26-meter-tall Yao Ming made his NBA debut（初次登台）on October 23, 2002 and got 6 points for the Houston Rockets in the game. The next day, he got 13 points（得分）in another game.

   Yao Ming , 22, has been a star in China for some time, but it is still under question as to whether he can play well in the NBA. Yao Ming said, “When you watch it on TV, it looks very easy. But when you are playing in the NBA, it is really tough.” He said that joining the Houston Rockets was a new start and a new challenge. “I hope that through very hard work I can make everyone happy and help the Rockets win more games,” he said

   Yao Ming speaks some English. Both he and his teammates can understand each other. They don't think there is a language problem.

While Yao Ming faces this new challenge,  the people of Houston have shown great interest in him and they hope Yao Ming will bring new energy （活力） to the Rockets.
