If you're going to learn a new language, you can't try to be perfect. You'll stop yourself from talking. You just have to let go.

Moving to the US was quite a transition for me, to say the least! There were, and still are so many new things to get used to: the language, food, culture, even the style of basketball is different here!

It's always nice to start the season with a win.

I don't really have anything to say. Basketball is not a game that you can play with your mouth. It needs action to prove yourself.

Embarrassed journalists ask me embarrassing questions, and they get embarrassing answers, and then hand out embarrassing stories to the embarrassing editors, who put them to the front pages of newspapers. When is this going to end?

Westerners respect privacy, and they are very competitive in terms of work and personalities. My teammates in China and I can talk about everything. But with my Houston Rockets teammates, even though we're friends, we cannot ask each other about everything.

It will take time to adapt, but I think I can handle it.
