dear editor,
i am writing in reply to the article about yao ming,who is a talented chinese basketball player,and was asked to be more aggressive and rude to his teammates by jeff van gundy--the head coach of the houston rockets.
i like the fact that the article draws attention to how to turn yao ming into a star player and the yao ming's attitude towards the opinion of the coach.he said if given more time,he could get more used to being a little more "selfish".
i would like to say something about yao ming,a wonderful guy,who has every physical basketball skill and puts the team first.yao ,i think,is a selfless and kind person.yao having been brought up and trained in this way,it is not his nature to be "selfish"and"rude".therefore,it is difficult for him to be aggressive and it takes time.
as far as i'm concerned,the reason why chinese sportsmen and sportswomen can't keep in pace with the world is that they are lacking in aggression to some degree.i believe that they can overcome shortcomings in order to stand out in the world.
yours sincerely,
