This book was released on 2016-12-19 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learn the Inspiring Story of the Houston Rockets' Legendary Center Yao Ming! Read on your PC, Mac, smartphone, tablet or Kindle device! In Yao Ming: The Inspiring Story of One of Basketball's Most Dominant Centers, you will learn the inspirational story of one of basketball's greatest ambassadors, Yao Ming. Yao Ming was the face of the Houston Rockets franchise alongside Tracy McGrady. Throughout the 2000s, the duo led the Rockets in a tough Western Conference. While Yao ultimately was forced to retire early due to injuries, the impact he left on the game at an international level was profound. Yao served in many ways as the bridge for the NBA to gain a viewership in China. Millions would tune into Rockets games to watch the dominant center overpower his peers. In this short unauthorized biography, you'll learn Yao's inspirational story into the league. Here is a preview of what is inside this book: Childhood and Early Years Chinese Basketball Association Career and Yao's Road to the NBA NBA Career Entering the Draft, Rookie Season, The Rise of Yao Ming Teaming Up with T-Mac, The Injury-Plagued Seasons, the Falling Great Wall The Return from Injury, Breaking Past the First Round Missing an Entire Season Short-lived Return, Final NBA Season Yao Ming's International Career Yao Ming's Personal Life Yao Ming's Impact on Basketball Yao Ming's Legacy An excerpt from the book: The east and the west have always been worlds apart in every aspect. Culturally, Eastern countries have always been a lot different from their western. People eat different food, wear different clothes, speak different languages, and have various views about life in general. In the world of sports, the gap only grows larger. Eastern countries enjoy soccer and cricket among other sports, compared to the Americans who prefer basketball and football. However, one man dared to cut the gap between the east and the west, particularly in basketball as his larger-than-life frame acted as the bridge between the two different worlds. Yao Ming is the sole reason that basketball became the language which united the sporting worlds of the east and the west. Historically in China, the Great Wall was constructed to protect the nation's capital from foreign invasion. As long as the Great Wall stood, the country remained secure and harmonious, safe from any outside interference or influence that could have disrupted the people's daily lives. However, the great wall called Yao, as tall and as long as he is, did not shield the country of China away from the foreign influence of basketball. Instead, the wall opened its gates up and allowed a bridge to be created between China and the United States as far as basketball was concerned. The sport has never been as popular in China as it is today thanks to the influences of Yao Ming. While Yao has long acted as a basketball ambassador of Asia to other Western countries, he was a dominated figure in the game itself, just as the Great Wall of China stood as a symbol of strength and dominance for the great eastern powerhouse. From the moment he first stepped foot on an NBA court, and to the final second he played in the league, Yao was always a towering and fearsome figure in the game of basketball.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite being one of the most popular sports worldwide, basketball has received limited research attention compared to other team sports. Establishing a strong evidence base with high-quality and impactful research is essential in enhancing decision-making processes to optimize player performance for basketball professionals. Consequently, the book entitled Improving Performance and Practice in Basketball provides a collection of novel research studies to increase the available evidence on various topics with strong translation to practice in basketball. The book includes work by 40 researchers from 16 institutions or professional organizations from 9 countries. In keeping with notable topics in basketball research, the book contains 2 reviews focused on monitoring strategies to detect player fatigue and considerations for travel in National Basketball Association players. In addition, 8 applied studies are also included in the book, focused on workload monitoring, game-related statistics, and the measurement of physical and skill attributes in basketball players. This book also has a strong focus on increasing the evidence available for female basketball players, who have traditionally been under-represented in the literature. The outcomes generated from this book should provide new insights to inform practice in many areas for professionals working in various roles with basketball teams.
