 Wang Brings New Era   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
Wang Zhizhi -- drafted by Nelson with fingers crossed in the second round of the 1999 draft -- is expected to get a hearty welcome at tonight's game against the Warriors, with Chinese-American fans and media making the trip to see the first player from their country to play in the NBA.
The 7-foot-1, sweet-shooting Wang has been in the NBA less than two weeks, and he's already a hero -- and he likely will be for a long time, as similar scenes are repeated next year in other cities for him and for his 7-6 countryman, Yao Ming, if he is allowed to play as expected.
Wang's progress is what will make this less of a gimmick, less of Nelson and his son/assistant Donn being quirky, less of a publicity stunt -- and more of a prescient move into a new market, for talent and fans.

 writing Chinese personal names
At least five thousand surnames have been used by the Han over the course of their history; only a few hundred, however, are in wide use today.
Since the order of surname and given name in a Han peraonal name is the opposite of that used in many Western countries, Han names often generate confusion among people of other nationalities.
Names in which surname and given name are both monosyllabic are the most apt to be reversed inadvertently: an English speaker, for instance, looking at the name Fāng Yáng will probably assume that Yáng rather than Fāng is the surname.
