The wife of NBA center Yao Ming is expecting their first child, sending netizens into a frenzy of hope for a new generation to lead China's basketball team in the future.

"The news that Ye Li is pregnant is true. Yao Ming and his wife would like to thank all those who are showing concern," Yao's China-based spokesman Zhang Chi said in a statement to leading portal Sina.com on Tuesday.

"Out of concern for Ye Li's state of mind and the need for a relaxed environment, it is not convenient to offer any further information concerning the baby," the spokesman said.

According to the Beijing News, the 29-year-old Houston Rocket -- out for the season as he recovers from a foot injury -- is expected to become a father in July. No decision has been made on where the baby will be born.

BEIJING (AP) -- Houston Rockets star Yao Ming says he and his wife are having a baby girl, and excited Chinese fans have already posted photo mashups of the couple's faces online to predict what she'll look like.

A column in the China Daily newspaper first mentioned the news in passing Thursday, but it made the front page Saturday as fans sent Yao's comments whizzing through online forums.

"Yao told me about his excitement of becoming a father; especially when he first heard his daughter's heartbeat on the monitor," columnist Yang Lan wrote Thursday.

The first child for Yao and his wife, Ye Li, is due in July.

Scientists have predicted the girl will grow up to be about 1.86 meters (6-foot-2), China Daily reported Saturday.

The 2.25-meter (7-foot-6) Yao has been sidelined since surgery in May to repair a hairline fracture in his left foot.

How can doctors predict how tall a baby will grow?

**FX™** · 02-09-2010, 02:03 AM

Yao must have ****ing destroyed that woman. A 7'6" monster banging that?

**Organized Chaos** · 02-09-2010, 02:11 AM

Apparently, she played on chinese national women's team and is 6'3".

**FX™** · 02-09-2010, 02:12 AM

Still got over a foot height difference though. I can't imagine that.

I was wondering the same thing, haha. Nonetheless, I had no idea Yao was married, let alone having a baby girl, lol.

Houston Rockets center Yao Ming recently returned to the United States. Great news for Rockets fans, but not so great for Chinese basketball fans.

You see, Yao's wife is pregnant. If she has her baby in the United States, that baby automatically becomes an American citizen. No biggie, except that Chinese law doesn't recognize dual citizenship.

As you can imagine, this upsets the Chinese.
