		BEIJING - Chinese basketball star Wang Zhizhi is on his way to Dallas today to join the Mavericks and embark on a precedent-shattering career as the first Asian to play in the NBA.
		CBA director Xu Lanqun said, "It gives us a very good feeling to see Wang Zhizhi off to the NBA." The press conference was not so much an announcement as a lecture to Wang on his value to China and the nation's excitement over his future in the NBA.
		The Mavericks drafted the 7-foot Chinese center in the second round of the 1999 draft, a move that was initially met with hostility by the Bayi Rockets, the army team that cultivated Wang's talent since he was 14 years old.

		For in their effort to acquire the 22-year-old Chinese center -- the first pick in the 2002 NBA draft -- the Rockets were forced to navigate the archaic Chinese bureaucracy, which, in its own way, is every bit as formidable as Yao’s enormous wingspan.
		The Chinese Basketball Association didn’t let the 7-foot-5 star attend the draft festivities in New York because he is still under obligation to play for the Chinese national team.
		Ultimately, the Chinese may be forced to either abandon their goal of competing as equals on the global basketball stage, or relinquish the totalitarian control they wield over their athletes.

		The Chinese try to identify the players with the most potential while they are still children and then arrange for them to receive special instruction.
