Yao's Great Wall of burdens crumbles with Game 6 win

HOUSTON -- Long before he was walking on air in celebration, Yao Ming was diving down onto the floor in determination.
Before he walked off the court and practically swept Dikembe Mutombo off his crutches , Yao Ming was sprinting back against a fastbeak to block a layup by Steve Blake.
The biggest man had the biggest burden and Yao's was like the Great Wall of China -- they say you can see it from outer space.
Six previous seasons in the NBA and he had never won a Playoff series. Two prior painful experiences with Game 7s and he didn't want to go there again.

"It will be different tonight," Yao had said about an hour before the opening tip, as he sat in front of his locker with a heat pad draped over his right shoulder. "It will be different."
And it was.
After a dirty dozen years, the Rockets threw off the yoke of frustration with a 92-76 win on Thursday night to wrap up a 4-2 first-round victory over the Portland Trail Blazers.
The last time the Rockets had advanced out of the first round of the Playoffs, the names on the back of the Houston jerseys read: Olajuwon, Drexler and Barkley. It was 1997, before most of the world outside of Asia had even heard of the 7-foot-6 kid from Shanghai. It was at the Sydney Olympics, five years three years before he had ing out party of sorts before the Rockets would make him the No. 1 overall pick in the 2002 NBA draft and a more than a decade before he would finally get to bob his head to the music, pump his left fist in a joyous salute to the crowd in his adopted hometown.
