　　Yao Ming told at a news conference that a series of foot and leg injuries forced him to end his playing career at the age of 30."I will formally end my career，" said Yao, who became a household name in China before starting his NBA career with the Houston Rockets in 2002. Yao played eight seasons in the NBA.

　　"Today is an important day for me and holds a special meaning for both my basketball career and my future，" Yao said. "I had to leave the court since I suffered a stress fracture (断裂) in my left foot for the third time at the end of last year. My past six months were a painful wait. I have been thinking about my future over and over. Today I am announcing a personal decision, ending my career as a basketball player and officially retire.
