Character evaluation
Yang Yi has always been humorous, witty, clear expression, objective and fair position, sharp and penetrating point of view, and his interpretation is deeply loved by basketball fans at home and abroad. His biography of Yao Ming is not only a history of Yao Ming's personal growth, but also a history of Chinese basketball, but also a history of NBA development and evolution. His grand perspective and multiple perspectives make up the true, heavy, ups and downs movement of the book. (Phoenix Online Review)
