　　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.
