犯规 fànguī foul

没想到易建联在雄鹿队打得那么好。刚开始我还以为他受不了NBA高强度的比赛呢。

I had no idea that Yi Jianlian would be so good on the Bucks. When he first started, I though he wouldn't be able to take the high pressure of an NBA game.
是啊，他比姚明刚去NBA的表现好多了。姚明刚去火箭的时候，不是摔跤就是犯规，一场球忙了半天，最后还是竹篮打水一场空。

Yeah. He's doing a lot better than Yao Ming did when he first went to the NBA. When he first went to play for the Rockets, Yao Ming was always either stumbling or making fouls. He was always running around, but it was like carrying water in a bamboo basket-- totally pointless.
不过现在他的实力可是毋庸置疑的。不仅是球队的核心球员，甚至有人觉得他是NBA的第一中锋。真想不到我们中国人能在NBA站住脚。像当年刚看NBA的时候，觉得球员脚下都装了弹簧，而且能在空中飞。那球玩得可真是出神入化。
bùguò xiànzài tā de shílì kěshì wúyōngzhìyí de 。bùjǐn shì qiúduì de héxīn qiúyuán ，shènzhì yǒurén juéde tā shì NBAde dìyī zhōngfēng 。zhēn xiǎngbùdào wǒmen zhōngguórén néng zài NBAzhànzhùjiǎo 。xiàng dāngnián gāng kàn NBAde shíhou ，juéde qiúyuán jiǎoxià dōu zhuāng le tánhuáng ，érqiě néng zài kōngzhōng fēi 。nà qiú wán de kě zhēnshì chūshénrùhuà 。
But now there is no question about his abilities. Not only is he a core player on the team. Some people go so far as to say he's the best center in the NBA. I really had no idea we Chinese could hold our own in the NBA. When I first started watching the NBA in the old days, I thought the players had springs on their feet and could fly through the air. They were truly incredible.
是啊，不知不觉NBA在中国转播都快二十年了。以前看一场球多不容易，像过年一样。有人逃学、请假看。现在每个礼拜，都有好几场直播。

Yeah! It kind of crept up on us, but the NBA has been broadcasting in China for nearly twenty years now. It used to be really hard to see a game-- it was like Chinese New Year! People would cut classes or take time off from work to watch it. Now, there are a bunch of live broadcasts every weekend.
