| US report claims China shoots down satellite |
美媒稱中國擊落衛星 |
| For the second time in three years, China has shot down one of its failed satellites with a missile, China Daily reported, citing US-based Foreign Policy magazine as its source. The reported shooting down took place at almost the same time as a successful missile interception test that China conducted on Jan 11. The destruction of the satellite demonstrates China's defensive missile capability, the magazine said. Military scholars believe the missile interception test was directed against the Patriot missile defense system that Taiwan was in the process of buying from the US in January. |
《中國日報》援引美國雜志《外交政策》稱，中國用導彈擊落了一顆運行失常的衛星，這是中國在三年內第二次進行此類活動。據悉，此次擊落衛星與中國在1月11日成功進行的導彈攔截試驗幾乎發生在同一時間。美雜志稱此次成功擊落衛星顯示了中國的導彈防御能力。軍事專家認為中國的導彈攔截試驗針對“愛國者”導彈防御系統，1月時臺灣正與美方交涉，購買此防御系統。 |
| Brad Miller joins Houston |
姚明替補終敲定 |
| The Houston Rockets have signed free-agent center Brad Miller on a 3-year $15 million contract. Miller played last season with the Chicago Bulls, averaging 8.8 points and 4.9 rebounds per game. Miller should fit in nicely backing up center Yao Ming for Houston. 34-year-old Miller is also useful in limited minutes with his jump shots and above average passing. |
休斯頓火箭隊日前以一份3年1500萬美元的合同簽下了轉會市場的自由人、中鋒布拉德·米勒。米勒上一賽季為芝加哥公牛隊效力，場均8.8分，4.9個籃板。米勒能夠在火箭隊很好地為主力中鋒姚明做替補。米勒今年34歲，他的跳投和較為出色的傳球在有限的上場時間中仍可以發揮作用。 |
