New York: China's Yao Ming leads Lakers center Sharquill O'Neal in voting for the National Basketball Association All - star Game to be played on February 9 in Atlanta.
After the first two rounds of fan voting, the Houston rookie (新兵) leads all centers with 814,393 votes, more than 158,000 votes over O'Neal.
Yao, the first overall pick in last year's NBA entry draft, also ranks fourth overall in the latest reports released on Thursday.
O'Neal, of the three - time NBA championship Lakers, missed the first 12 games of the season while recovering from toe surgery.
Yao, who has had a shining rookie season so far, may have also benefited from new voting procedures. This season marks the first time that fans can go online and vote in Chinese.
Carter, Toronto Raptors forward, has been sidelined for most of the season with a left knee strain but has 871,189 votes. He is second overall in the fan balloting, trailing only Lakers guard Kobe Bryant, who has 958,695.

In the 1940s, Pinehaven Park was one of Crafton City's loveliest recreation(娱乐)areas. Over 40 acres of woods and fields were open to the public. In the 1950s, part of the park was taken over by Crafton City's garbage. Fifteen acres were to be used for landfill disposal(理置). As time went on, more and more of the park was used for garage disposal and less for recreation. Two years ago, the park was closed to the public for good. Along with household garbage, industrial chemicals had for years been dumped (倾倒)in the Pinehaven landfill. These poisonous chemicals had begun to seep(渗)back up through the soil. All of Pinehaven Park had become dangerously polluted.
Last year, the fish in the Crafton River began to die. After a series of investigations(研究), it became clear that the people of Crafton City were not to blame. 100~150 miles upstream, big paper mills were dumping industrial wastes into the river. Little by little, the level of poison in the river began to rise. Finally, it became so polluted that the fish themselves could no longer survive.
Downtown Crafton used to be a quiet area. Ten years of remarkable growth changed that in a big hurry. But with Crafton City's new prosperity(繁荣)came a new problem: air pollution. And it is a serious problem. Air pollution levels in Crafton are regularly reaching those of the nation's large industrial cities.
