雙語新聞:2011年7月20日姚明正式宣布退役
上周雅虎體育爆出姚明即將退役的消息引來眾人紛紛猜測。7月20日下午兩點(diǎn)，這位NBA球星在家鄉(xiāng)上海舉行新聞發(fā)布會，正式宣布自己退役。
SHANGHAI — Yao Ming has made it official, telling a packed news conference in his hometown that a series of injuries have forced him to retire from basketball.
The 7-fooot-6 center, who became a household name in China before starting his NBA career with the Houston Rockets as the top draft pick in 2002, said: "I will formally end my career."
Yao played eight seasons in the NBA, but missed 250 regular-season games over the past six years.
Houston general manager Daryl Morey attended Yao’s farewell conference on Wednesday, and NBA Commissioner David Stern was scheduled to send a message via video link. Morey had to get permission from the NBA to be attend because the lockout prohibits contact with players.
北京時間7月20日，姚明在上海浦東嘉里大酒店三層的上海廳召開新聞發(fā)布會，正式宣布退役。姚明的父母姚志源和方鳳娣、姚明的妻子葉莉以及姚明的女兒姚沁蕾都出席了此次發(fā)布會。到場人員還包括NBA中國CEO舒德偉、休斯敦火箭隊總經(jīng)理達(dá)雷爾-莫雷、籃管中心副主任胡加時等人。姚明說：“作為籃球運(yùn)動員，我將要結(jié)束自己的運(yùn)動生涯，正式退役。今天我退役了，我的一扇門關(guān)上了，但另一扇門正在徐徐打開。我離開了球場，但不會離開籃球?！?BR> 發(fā)布會最后，姚明和父母、妻子以及女兒合影，這也是姚明一家首次在公眾面前亮相合影。
姚明退役的消息首先是由雅虎體育透露的。北京時間7月9日凌晨，雅虎體育透露姚明已決定退役。隨后網(wǎng)易體育對姚之隊負(fù)責(zé)人章明基進(jìn)行了采訪，后者否認(rèn)姚明退役。直到7月9日上午，姚之隊又發(fā)表聲明，表示姚明將在7月20日召開新聞發(fā)布會，宣布關(guān)于自己未來事業(yè)的一些規(guī)劃。
