最近关于篮协要求姚明加速养伤，确保参加世锦赛的传闻很多。篮协又一次被所有球迷唾骂。但是真的是这样吗？其他网站有网友把几个报道连在一起，发现篮协可能根本就是无辜的。 ******先看看S*I*N*A今天登出来的辟谣文章****** “我敢肯定地说这篇报道是无稽之谈，文中错误百出，胡说八道，而且是别有用心。我正在和火箭方面联系，调查一下这个作者写该文到底是什么意思，采用了什么事实根据。姚明一直都很希望代表中国参加世锦赛，从我的接触过程中，中国篮协没有给我们施加任何压力。”北京时间4月18日下午，姚之队负责人章明基在接受记者采访时，愤怒抨击休斯敦当地媒体的一条“假新闻”。 他说的是《休斯敦纪事报》在当地时间4月16日体育版发表的一篇名为《中国为姚明心烦》的文章，该文称姚明宁愿放弃世锦赛，但是会感受到来自中国的压力，中国篮协曾经打算在姚明手术前派两位医生去检查姚明的身体，探察火箭是否夸大病情，等等。 章明基和主管国家队事务的副主任胡加时均表示，在姚明是否参赛问题上绝对没有所谓的黑幕和疑案，是休斯敦当地媒体在恶意炒作。而火箭也表示将由姚明自己做出是否参赛的决定。 道森：我不想陷入一场打架 也许是因为火箭这个赛季早就进入了“垃圾时间”，比赛本身并不能引起人们多大兴趣，《休斯敦纪事报》记者弗兰·比兰伯瑞在16日发表了《中国为姚明心烦》一文，很快引起“轰动”，当地球迷论坛为此开展沸沸扬扬的讨论，探讨正在手术后恢复的姚明是否应该代表中国队参加世锦赛，这件事情本身有没有背后的压力。 该文开门见山地将中国方面和火箭设计为两个对立面，“来自北京的消息和聊天室的讨论，都在质疑火箭是在有意拖延时间，并且把怒火直接撒向教练范甘迪。”文章最惊人的一处这样写道：“有一些迹象表明姚明宁愿选择放弃世锦赛，而和火箭在一起进行身体恢复。但是，他会感受到来自中国球迷、政府、也许还有他父母方面的压力。中国篮球官员希望在姚明手术前派他们的两个医生去休斯敦检查姚明的身体，但是被火箭拒绝。” 有意思的是，这名美国记者还根据他的报道思路采访了火箭。总经理道森皱起了眉头：“我不想陷入一场打架，我和中国的关系很好，我也想继续这种关系。我们一直传达给中国的信息是我们唯一的利益就是姚明最好的利益，永远都会如此。不幸的事情是姚明受伤了，我们必须解决好此事，不让它影响到姚的职业生涯。”自从2002年开始斡旋火箭挑选姚明，道森就一直和中国方面打交道，不想陷入无谓的口舌之争。 范甘迪对此事的态度是姚明自己做主，“我们希望姚做出对自己职业生涯最好的事情，但做出何种决定，还要看姚的态度。”比兰伯瑞报道中援引路透社采用一位中国球迷在聊天室中的话，“是他(范甘迪)废了姚明！他比资本家更邪恶，火箭已经打不进季后赛，而他却让姚明继续比赛。我完全支持解雇掉范甘迪。”这话让范甘迪很生气，他回答说：“我只是想让姚明康复，变成更好的球员。在没有成为邪恶的资本家之前，我就碰到足够多的问题。” 姚之队：中国篮协从未施压 看到该文的章明基非常愤怒，他在采访过程中不断重复“无稽之谈”这个词，“实在太不负责任了，我不明白他们是怎么得出这个结论的。网上的球迷极端语言我不管，就从我们角度来说，和中国篮协沟通姚明伤势的过程中，他们始终没有给我们任何压力，从来没有说姚明需要早一点养好伤，必须要参赛。他们始终很尊重我们的判断和选择。” “而姚明主观上非常希望参加世锦赛，他将在六月回国，为什么要那么早回国呢？因为他想熟悉中国队的情况，也想开始力量方面的训练，篮协方面也有医生，双方沟通起来很方便。如果像那篇文章说的，姚明完全可以在休斯敦养好伤，不需要在动过手术后不到两个月就回国。” 那篇报道称中国篮协曾经打算在姚明手术前派两位医生去检查姚明的身体，探察火箭是否夸大病情，章明基就此事专门致电向主管国家队事务的副主任胡加求证时，胡加时澄清了事实，中国篮协从未作出此举。章明基还透露，姚明主刀医生克兰顿在看到报道后大吃一惊，特意打电话给他，批评作者信口雌黄，用心不良。 记者询问该文作者是否得到了火箭某些方面的暗示，章明基表示中国篮协、姚之队和火箭方面的沟通一直很顺畅，火箭也一直支持姚明代表中国参赛，所以不会在背后玩阴的。“姚明每次回国都有训练师跟着，他还帮助中国国家队的体能训练，去年姚明回来，火箭还专门派出一个助理教练，后者还指导训练中国大个子。火箭和中国方面的关系很好，我认为写该文的人别有用心。” 胡加时的态度很明确：“这篇报道完全不负责任，没有根据。我想再重复一遍，我们尊重科学，尊重事实，绝对不会勉强姚明参赛。” ******再看看这个记者的原文，他的名字是Fran Blinebury****** While Yao Ming begins the first steps in his recuperation from surgery on a broken bone in his left foot, the Rockets could be faced with trying to mend a suddenly anxious relationship with basketball officials and fans in China. The concern is over the recovery timetable — four to six months — the Rockets originally announced and Yao's subsequent availability to play with the Chinese national team at the World Championships this summer in Japan. Wire service stories out of Beijing and Internet chat rooms have been filled with suspicion about the Rockets' motives at bringing Yao back so slowly and with anger directed at coach Jeff Van Gundy. Chat-room fan fumes "He (Van Gundy) disabled Yao Ming! He's more vicious than a capitalist!" fumed one chat-room fan, according to Reuters news service. "The Rockets are already out of the playoffs, yet Yao still plays. I firmly support (Van Gundy's) sacking!" The World Championships will run from Aug. 19-Sept. 3 and even a four-month recovery period would put Yao's return just before the start. Though China is guaranteed a berth in the 2008 Olympics by being the host country, the fact is that outside the United States, the World Championships are considered the most prestigious competition. In addition, the fact the event will be held in Japan — a political and cultural rival — gives China added motivation. Plus, pre-tournament exhibition games featuring the national team are scheduled across China. Those games would lose their top money-making draw if Yao, 7-6, were to sit out. Rockets officials expressed dismay that anyone would think they were attempting any funny business. "I don't want to get into a fight," said Rockets general manager Carroll Dawson. "I've had a good relationship with the Chinese, and I very much want to keep it that way. What we've got to do is convey to them that our only interest is Yao's best interest. That's going to be the way it always is. It's unfortunate that he got hurt. We've got to get it fixed where it won't affect his career." The decision will be left to Yao, who agreed to play for the Chinese national team when he received permission to enter the 2002 NBA draft. There have been indications he would prefer to sit out the World Championships and rehabilitate with the Rockets. But he will feel pressure — from basketball fans, from the government, perhaps from his parents — to play. The player's call "This is Yao's call," Van Gundy said. "We want him to do what's best for his career. But this is about Yao." Yao was injured one week ago in Salt Lake City when he was kicked by the Utah Jazz's Mehmet Okur, resulting in a clean break in the fifth metatarsal bone of his left foot. Dr. Tom Clanton repaired the break — and inserted a screw for strengthening — Friday at Memorial Hermann-Texas Hospital. Chinese basketball officials had wanted to send two of their doctors to Houston to examine Yao before the surgery, but they were rebuffed by the Rockets. Healing varies If the recovery goes fast, it is possible Yao, 25, can be back on a basketball court working out in 10 weeks. That's late June. But there have been other players — Michael Jordan among them — who have taken closer to the four- to six-month timetable. That is the time that, according to medical experts, it takes for a clean break to return to its previous bone density. But the screw was inserted to strengthen the bone. "As you might expect, it all caused much concern in China among the media and the fans," said Jai Li, a reporter for the World Journal who is based in Houston to cover the Rockets. "At first, there was a great deal of alarm. There were even some people saying the injury could force Yao Ming to retire. I think it has calmed down quite a bit since then." "I just want Yao to recover when he can and become an even better basketball player," Van Gundy said. "I've got enough problems already without being a vicious capitalist pig." ******最后，这位网友还查了一下这名记者Fran Blinebury的背景****** When the U.S. Olympic hockey team flopped badly in Japan, sports columnists across America were quick to castigate the athletes for partying instead of practicing. Players were seen out late at night at bars, and after the team was eliminated, some members went on what was described usually as a "rampage," causing $1,000 in damages to their hotel (which, given hotel prices in Japan, probably means they broke a few ashtrays and a water glass). Among those pompously tut-tutting was the Chronicle's Fran Blinebury: "American hockey players cover themselves with shame," read the headline on his February 20 piece. The team was "a fitting impersonation of the Dallas Cowboys, another high-profile, underachieving bunch of party animals," he harrumphed. Players "went about their jobs like they were full of themselves by hitting the streets hard every night and getting themselves full at each club and bar they passed," he said. He added -- unfortunately enough, for those who prefer good writing -- that the team "figured it could paint the town redder than the circle in the middle of the Japanese flag" and still win. A month later, Blinebury's indignation seems, as he might write, "as ironic as the irony in a really ironic play, or movie." Blinebury, in Florida to cover the regionals of the NCAA basketball tournament, turned in quite a little party performance of his own early March 22, getting arrested for driving under the influence, careless driving and leaving the scene of an accident. Blinebury was tooling along about 1:45 a.m. in the St. Petersburg suburb of Largo when he sideswiped a police car that was parked on the side of the road -- overhead lights flashing brightly -- as officers investigated an unrelated DUI. Blinebury continued on after the collision, Largo police spokeswoman Allison Griffiths says. "A witness who had been following him because he didn't appear to be driving too well kept following him because it didn't look like he was stopping," she says. "Our witness encouraged him to stop." How the 21-year-old male did so isn't clear, but Blinebury finally pulled over, one-tenth of a mile down the four-lane divided highway, she says. The 44-year-old sports columnist said he was driving because his passenger was too drunk to do so, she says. Since Blinebury blew a .154, nearly twice Florida's legal limit of .08, the unnamed passenger must have been trying out for the Olympic hockey team. Griffiths says Blinebury told officers he had had "dinner and drinks" and had gotten lost looking for I-275. "He was way, way west of where he should have been," she says. "He was very lost." The Chronicle dutifully reported the incident -- in a one-paragraph story on the sports-section page that is crammed daily with tiny-print statistics. The blurb -- a mere fraction of the size the paper devotes to breathless reports on every obscure journalism award won by staffers -- showed up between brief stories on a women's tennis tournament in The Woodlands and a local senior women's amateur golf competition. So chances are pretty good, one would think, that Blinebury's many fans missed it. The outspoken columnist, who did not return a call seeking comment, is being uncharacteristically shy on the subject. Those listening to Blinebury's radio show on KPRC-AM were baffled by an exchange that occurred the day the story hit print. A caller's question was bleeped -- actually, listeners heard four or five seconds of dead air -- and then Blinebury responded, "The matter's in litigation, and my attorney tells me I shouldn't talk about it." The other hosts then proceeded to rip into the caller for launching a "cheap shot," especially after he had told the show's screeners he planned to talk about the Rockets. (To Blinebury's credit, he shrugged off the call and didn't join in the criticism.) First-offense DUI is a misdemeanor in Florida and carries a maximum penalty of a year in jail. So does the charge of leaving the scene; careless driving is merely a traffic ticket. Blinebury had not been arraigned by press time. ******究竟到底是谁在撒谎？到底中国篮协有没有要求姚明参赛？这个记者到底写这篇文章为了什么？他的个人劣迹到底能不能说明他的文章不可信？大家自己来个评判******
