Chapter 344 Yao Ming's Helplessness

The gaze of the Great Emperor Zhenwu was deep and far-reaching, as if he could penetrate endless time and space. He looked at his daughter Shuiying and slowly said, "My daughter, this time I want to talk to you about Yao Ming."

Emperor Zhenwu raised his chin slightly, as if immersed in the glorious memory of Yao Ming. "This Yao Ming was born in 1980 in the vibrant Shanghai of China. His tall figure is like a towering mountain, which makes people intimidated. With his love and persistence for basketball, Yao Ming fought hard all the way and became a legend in the basketball world."

The Emperor Zhenwu became more and more excited as he spoke, gesturing with his hands. "He traveled across the ocean and stepped into the NBA. In a place as competitive as a battlefield, Yao Ming wore the jersey of the Houston Rockets, like a brave warrior. He was majestic on the court, and his tall figure was unstoppable in the paint. His hook shot was extremely accurate, like an arrow shot by an archer, hitting the bull's eye. His rebounding was so domineering that he seemed to be able to pick the stars in the sky. He won the respect and praise of fans all over the world with his strength and fighting spirit."

"On the international stage, Yao Ming is the mainstay of the Chinese men's basketball team. He has led the Chinese team to battles across the country and has helped them rise again and again in the face of adversity. His determined eyes, like a burning flame, inspire his teammates to move forward courageously. Every point he scores, every rebound he makes, every block he makes, seems to be a fight for the honor of the country. He has shown the world the power and hope of Chinese basketball."

Emperor Zhenwu was so excited that his face turned red, and he continued to praise him. "Yao Ming's influence is not limited to the basketball court. With his wisdom and charm, he has become a bridge for cultural exchanges between China and the United States. With his actions, he has shown the world the diligence, bravery and wisdom of the Chinese people. He is like a shining star, illuminating the entire basketball world."

The praise of Yao Ming by Zhenwu Emperor was still lingering, but Mizukage could no longer hold back and was ready to start her unique journey of refutation.

After listening to the "speech" of his father, Zhenwu Emperor, Mizukage rolled his eyes in disapproval.

With his chin slightly raised, his eyes were filled with a hint of teasing, and he spoke elegantly, "Father, look at Yao Ming, whom you admire. He has never carried manure to water vegetables, and has no idea of ​​the smell of feces or the smell of farts. He has no experience of the life of working people at all. Think about it, carrying manure to water vegetables is not something that ordinary people can experience. That smell, that feeling, is the most real portrayal of life. But Yao Ming, who is so glorious on the basketball court all day long, has no idea of ​​the taste of these worldly affairs."

Mizukage pursed his lips and continued, "He is like a flower in a greenhouse, being cared for by everyone and not knowing the hardships of labor. Carrying manure to water the vegetables may not sound so elegant, but this is the daily life of the working people. Only by truly experiencing these things can you understand how hard life is and how to cherish every grain of food and every leaf of vegetables. But Yao Ming, he probably has never even seen what manure looks like. How can such a person understand the essence of life? He is like an immortal floating in the clouds, out of touch with the ground and out of touch with the world."

Mizukage crossed his arms and shook his head slightly, saying, "Look at the real working people. They get up early and stay up late every day, carrying manure and watering their vegetable fields. Their hands are rough but full of strength. Their faces are covered with sweat but filled with happy smiles. Because they know that their labor is valuable and they are working hard for life. But Yao Ming, he only sweats on the basketball court and fights for honor and money. How can the two be the same? He doesn't understand the meaning of labor at all, and doesn't understand the philosophy of life behind the smell of shit and fart."

When Mizukage said this, he glanced at Emperor Zhenwu, a sly look flashed in his eyes, and then he said: "Father, please tell me about Yao Ming. It's okay that he is not good at playing football, but his existence has made the national football team's performance always embarrassing. Think about it, if Yao Ming could share some of his domineering and strength on the basketball court with the national football team, would the national football team be so miserable?"

Mizukage waved his hands exaggeratedly, as if describing the miserable situation of the Chinese national football team. "Our national football team has been defeated time and again, which has caused great concern among the people of the country. Every time I see their weak performance on the court, I get so angry. And Yao Ming, he is so tall and has such a strong physique. If he could play football, he would definitely be able to smash the opponent's goal. But he is only interested in basketball and doesn't care about football. Isn't this just watching the national football team struggling in the quagmire?"

Mizukage curled his lips and continued, "Look at those football powers. Their players are all heroes, charging into battle on the field and winning honor for the country. But our national football team is like a group of headless flies, rushing around randomly. It would be great if Yao Ming could step forward and lead the national football team to victory. But he just doesn't lend a helping hand, allowing the national football team to continue to be so embarrassing. Isn't he irresponsible to the country's sports cause?"

Mizukage frowned and continued with a serious face: "Father, there is also Yao Ming. He is too tall and his feet are too big. This is really a waste of hard-earned living resources. Just think about it, he is so tall, how big clothes and shoes he needs to wear. How much cloth and leather will be consumed. Isn't this a waste of resources?"

Mizukage put his hands on his hips and said angrily, "In this era of scarce resources, we should advocate conservation and cherish every inch of cloth and every piece of leather. But Yao Ming's existence is simply a challenge to resources. His clothes probably need several pieces of cloth to make, and his shoes probably need a whole piece of cowhide. How many animals have sacrificed their lives for this. Can't he make his body and feet smaller for the sake of environmental protection and saving resources?"

The Mizukage became more and more excited. "Besides, he is so tall that he has to be very careful when walking on the road, for fear of bumping into something. The house he lives in must also be very high, otherwise he can't even stand up straight. Doesn't this add to the burden of the construction workers? His existence is simply a trouble and a waste. He should learn from ordinary people like us, learn to save resources, learn to adapt to this society, instead of wasting resources wantonly because of his height and big feet."

After the Mizukage finished speaking, he looked at the Zhenwu Emperor with a firm gaze, as if waiting for his father's rebuttal.

Emperor Zhenwu took a deep breath and said slowly: "My daughter, although your words have some truth, you can't look at Yao Ming so one-sidedly. Although he has some shortcomings, his achievements and contributions are indelible. He has shown the world the elegance and strength of the Chinese people through his actions. He is our pride and our hero. We should look at him from a more objective and comprehensive perspective, seeing his shortcomings as well as affirming his strengths."

Mizukage raised his head, looked at Zhenwu Emperor, and said, "Father, I know you are right, but I still stick to my principles. I think a truly excellent person should be perfect. Although Yao Ming has many achievements, his shortcomings cannot be ignored. I believe that there will be someone on this earth who truly meets my requirements. Before that, I would rather wait alone than settle. Yao Ming, he is definitely not my match."
