Yao Ming delivered a heart warming and humorous induction speech at the 2016 NBA Hall of Fame enshrinement ceremony. 在2016年NBA奈史密斯名人堂入选仪式上，姚明发表了一篇感人肺腑又不失幽默的演讲。 Welcoming Yao Ming to the Hall were NBA legend Bill Russell, Bill Walton and former Houston Rockets teammate Dikembe Mutombo. Ming began his speech with an awesome joke. Ming said I thought Allen Iverson should've been the first to speak. But, then Ming realized he needed "more practice". The obvious pun meant to touch on Iverson's infamous 2002 "practice rant". 欢迎姚明进入名人堂的是NBA传奇球员比尔·拉塞尔、比尔·沃顿和休斯敦火箭队前队友迪坎贝·穆托姆博。姚明以一则逗趣的笑话开始致辞。他说，我真的以为第一个上台的应该是艾弗森;但是，后来姚明意识到自己需要“更多的训练”。很明显，这里用了双关语，暗指艾弗森2002年不光彩的“训练门”(2002年，在一次资讯发布会上，当时心情很差的艾弗森一口气连续喊出22次“训练”斥责记者)。 Each of the players who Ming selected to introduce him to the Hall carried a significant place in his heart and subsequently in his speech. First of all, Ming thanked Russell for hosting a dinner meeting in his rookie season. Russell dispensed advice Ming found particularly applicable on and off the court. Walton was pivotal in helping Ming deal with his foot injury. Mutombo was the recipient of another Yao joke referencing his mentoring along with elbows delivered in practice. |
