That's the deal a Chinese woman has offered Yao Ming. She, of course, has registered the domain in the NBA star's name.

Yao, the 2.28-meter (7-foot, 6-inch) tall Houston Rockets star, could be out of action till February after fracturing a bone under his right knee.

And quite obviously, he is not happy about the possibility of missing the all-star game this year.

The hug and the autograph are fine, but what's the real deal? The woman, identified only as Jin by the China Youth Daily, has said her aim is to "prevent" Yao's name from being misused by those who mean him harm.

"Just like everyone else, I too want to prevent Yao's name from being misused," she was quoted as having said. "That's why I registered his name before those who could do so to misuse it."

Yao's name has been registered with a mobile network served by China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC).

The newspaper quoted a CNNIC official as having said that the registration could be canceled if Yao complained that he risked financial losses because of the domain.

But Jin insists she didn't register Yao's name to earn money. Her intentions "are noble", the newspaper quoted her as having said on Thursday.

Yao's name was registered once before, as a brand for sanitary pads, evoking a sea of complaints from the public and his agents and fans.

So despite Jin's "noble intentions", many Chinese Internet users still accuse her of using Yao's name to get free publicity.

Yao's agents have already registered "Yao", "Yaoming" and "Team Yao" in the mobile network service, a CNNIC official said.

A person can ask the CNNIC anytime to cancel the registration of his name, by claiming that it has been done so with the "malicious" intention of making money, damaging his reputation or preventing him from enjoying his legal rights on the network.
