On July 4, the NBA entered the offseason. According to a reporter from the US media Houston Chronicle, former Chinese basketball star and Rockets legend Yao Ming recently appeared in Houston and met with Rockets general manager Raphael Stone and others, and also had a meal with local country music singer Ritchie O'Toole.

Recently, Yao Ming and his wife and daughter have arrived in Houston, and many netizens have photographed him on the streets of Houston. The wife of Rockets general manager Raphael Stone updated social media, posted a photo of her husband, Yao Ming and Fertita Jr., and wrote: "Hi with the brothers. Raphael is very happy to meet Yao Ming."

The Houston Chronicle then reported that the legendary Rockets center Yao Ming recently appeared quietly at the location of his old club, setting off a wave of feelings in this city with deep connections with him. On Tuesday afternoon local time, country music singer Rich O'Toole posted photos on social media, and Yao Ming was having a feast at the famous local barbecue restaurant Goode Co. Barbeque. The Houston Chronicle said that although it was impossible to confirm whether the two had lunch together, the unexpected team in the same frame undoubtedly made a summer adventure for two iconic Texas. Although Yao Ming, who is about to turn 45, has retired for more than ten years, his position in Houston sports history is still unshakable. During the ten seasons he played for the Rockets from 2002 to 2011, he was selected as the All-Star team eight times, twice ranked second in the All-Year Team, and tied with Harden to become the Rockets' most influential player of this century.

Although Yao Ming has never led the Rockets to the finals and has never been involved in the MVP trophy, he has used his dominance on the field to create the golden age of Houston Sports. Some netizens joked: "With Yao Ming's reputation in Houston, I'm afraid he doesn't have to pay for this barbecue by himself. "

Yao Ming entered the NBA through the draft in 2002 and became the first Asian No. 1 pick in NBA history. During his time with the Rockets, Yao Ming led the Rockets to the playoffs many times. In 2011, Yao Ming retired early due to injury. Yao Ming was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame after retirement and served as chairman of the Chinese Basketball Association, resigning earlier this year.
