The height of the 14-year-old exceeded 2 meters, and the 15-year-old reached 2 meters 11, and finally fixed at 2 meters 36. He is one of the professional basketball players, taller than star Yao Ming. He is also one of the few basketball players to enter the film and television industry after retiring.
Although this person's short career is not particularly eye-catching, it has also left its own color in the history of Chinese basketball. He also has a wife who is 1.9 meters tall, and the height of the two together also sets a Guinness world record for the highest height of a couple in the world.
What kind of wonderful journey does such a person have? Tell the story of the characters and feel the wonderful life. In this issue, the children's funny characters will talk about Sun Mingming, a basketball player suffering from gigantism.
(i)
Sun Mingming was born in Bayan County, Harbin in 1983. Since ancient northeast China, there have been tall and mighty men, but Sun Mingming's parents never thought that their children would be tall. Because they are only medium height, the people in the family are not big.
But not long after entering the junior high school campus, Sun Mingming's body seemed to wake up and began to draw a long strip. Most parents are happy to see their son grow tall.
But when Sun Mingming's height exceeded the height limit of his age group, his parents were not so happy.
The 14-year-old is two meters tall. At this time, there were no clothes and shoes suitable for Sun Mingming to wear on the market. In desperation, his mother could only sew clothes for him with dexterous hands.
But one season of clothing can often only be worn in the same season, and then taken out the next year, the size will be small. So the mother could only work overtime overnight to catch up, and the Sun family gradually began to feel that being tall was sometimes a burden.
The time soon came to 1998, when Sun Mingming had just turned 15 years old and had reached a staggering height of 2 meters 11. It is also an absolute advantage in height that makes him an invitation to the provincial sports team.
This year, Sun Mingming became the youngest and tallest player in the sports team.
In fact, it is already a little late to contact basketball at the age of 15. It should be known that most of the members of the sports team began formal basketball training at the age of five or six.
Sun Mingming did not have the slightest discouragement, he followed the requirements of the coach every day, learned the spirit of invincibility of Sakuragi Hanamichi in "Slam Dunk Master", practiced various basic actions little by little, and grew up with idols.
Sun Mingming's efforts infected many teammates and coaches who lived with him day and night, and everyone pooled money to customize his first pair of basketball shoes for this cute "big man".
In his youth, he has a height comparable to that of basketball star Yao Ming, and in the youth league, as long as he does not pay attention to extremely fierce confrontation, Sun Mingming is a giant who no one can take the ball from his hand.
Killing all sides on the field, Sun Mingming turned into a rebounding demon, forming a crushing posture against the opposing center.
In February 2003, due to his absolute height advantage and remarkable performance in the game, Sun Mingming was selected for the National Men's Basketball Olympic Hope Team. At that time, he carried the expectation of becoming another "moving Great Wall" in China.

Sun Mingming and Yao Ming's first meeting was in the process of following the national Olympic team to participate in the training camp in the United States. At that time, Yao Ming was already a foreigner and became a dazzling figure in the NBA.
People in the American basketball industry saw Sun Mingming, who was better than Yao Ming, and also had the idea of "digging up treasure" for him.
Receiving olive branches from various teams and clubs in a short period of time, Sun Mingming quickly regained his sanity after being happy. He knew his own level, so he politely declined the invitation.
During those three months in the United States, he was exposed to advanced basketball concepts and training methods, and also took his overall strength to the next level.
At this time, Sun Mingming's height was still rising infinitely, so people around him wanted to take the opportunity in the United States to let him go to the hospital for a physical examination.
The United States has made considerable achievements in the field of sports medicine. After an examination, Sun Mingming was diagnosed with gigantism, and his height climb was abnormal. After receiving painful treatment, his size was forever fixed at 2 meters 35.
It seems that most basketball players have a dream of being selected for the NBA. Sun Mingming, who also had a dream, later traveled to the United States again. But he didn't know whether the United States was a paradise for countless basketball fans, or a place where more dreamers' dreams were shattered.
In the field of basketball, Sun Mingming's height talent does have a very high advantage, but his weight is not enough, and the static dynamic talent and lateral movement rate are not up to standard. He didn't even touch the passing line for NBA players.
With a heart of hard work and hope, he began to learn from the game and sharpen himself. But the sub-leagues in the United States are not easy to play. A tall and solid opponent made Sun Mingming, who was flowing on the floor, lose his direction.
Moving slowly and physically weak, he began to be chased by opponents on the court, and was attacked again and again, making Sun Mingming gradually fade out of the main lineup of the team.
At the same time, the athletes who play in the sub-league are not too well paid, and Sun Mingming's life in the United States is also difficult. Fortunately, after being introduced, he was exposed to part-time work in sports programs.
Americans liked this giant from China very much, and they did not expect that this would also open up a new journey in his life.
Although many people at that time advised Sun Mingming to turn into the film and television industry, because he had an excellent sense of lens, people also took pictures. But he still does not want to give up basketball in his heart, and he still insists on "wandering" in the United States.
First transferred to the Maryland Nighthawks, because they could not adapt to the high-speed rotation, they had height but could not effectively form a tactical deterrent, sun Mingming joined the Mexican league after becoming a marginal man. But in the midst of the twists and turns, he never got a good development.
(iii)
Later, a period of time in the Japanese league became the highlight of Sun Mingming's career. He received all-star honors from the league. However, because of his inner sense of nationality, he did not want to develop in Japan for a long time, so he returned to the NBL League to play.
During a training injury, Sun Mingming went to Beijing for treatment. In 2009, at the National Games in China, he met handball player Xu Yan, the woman with whom he would spend her life.
After recovering from his injuries, Sun Mingming ignored the doctor's advice and chose to join Beijing Shougang, but he did not have the physical fitness of an athlete here for three years, and finally left in disgrace.
It is worth mentioning that Xu Yan gave Sun Mingming a lot of care and comfort during this time.
The two, who have always been in love, married in 2013. Because he has participated in some TV shows and starred in some popular dramas, his wedding scene has many celebrity friends to celebrate. Of course, sports stars have also come a lot.
As the saying goes: the east is not bright and the west is bright. Retired Sun Mingming, with his special height and relatively successful basketball career, won more acting opportunities.
In 2016, Sun Mingming, like his predecessor Battle, began to charge the film and television industry with all his might. Although he has played a small number of roles, they are very distinctive.
Wonderful performances such as "The Spirit of the Ghost Blowing Lanterns in the Ancient City", "Antiques Bureau Central Bureau", "Qimen Dunjia" and other dramas have also made him recognized by many people in the industry.
It can be seen that there is not only one way in a person's life to realize the value of the self. As an athlete, Sun Mingming was a qualified passer and bowler.
His hard work and hard work in training, and his tenacity and perseverance in chasing dreams are his own shining points. In his hands, basketball seemed to be only the size of a ping-pong ball. In order to play with this small ball, Sun Mingming paid a lot.
But some things seem to be that human beings are inviolable. When the pursuit of dreams fails, those who dare to rebuild their confidence and choose new areas to start again are also powerful beings.
Perhaps Sun Mingming's height makes the Chinese people expect too much from him, but he is just an ordinary big man, and he is also a big man who has lived his own life. His future will surely be even more exciting.
