Recently, some netizens met Yao Ming's family of three when they were in the restaurant, and the three entered the restaurant to prepare for dinner, so they stood briefly in the restaurant lobby. In the photo, Yao Ming is wearing a down jacket, and does not look very fat from a distance, and Yao Ming's 12-year-old daughter Yao Qinlei stands next to her mother Ye Li, the height of mother and daughter is almost the same, and Ye Li, who is a basketball player, has reached 1 meter 9 in height, which shows that Yao Qinlei's height is also close to 1 meter 9, which is completely "standing out" among her peers. And Yao Qinlei is only 12 years old, her body is still in the period of development, presumably there will still be changes in her height in the future. However, Yao Qinlei, who was born in a basketball family, did not choose the path of basketball player. Yao Ming has previously said that being a basketball player is very tiring, so he will not force his daughter to choose the path of basketball player.
It is worth mentioning that many netizens are worried that Yao Qinlei will find a partner in the future, which has also caused discussion among many netizens. Yao Qinlei was born when Yao Ming played for the Rockets, so he became an American citizen after birth, which caused Yao Ming to be controversial after returning to China, but Yao Ming has said that when his daughter becomes an adult, she decides her own nationality. In addition, Yao Qinlei grew up almost in Shanghai, received a domestic education, and presumably gave up her American citizenship in the future. Ye Li, 41 years old this year, focused on her family after retiring, and after Yao Ming went to the basketball association, Ye Li began to help Yao Ming manage matters related to the "Yao Foundation", usually focusing on philanthropy, so she rarely appeared in front of the media. However, today's Ye Li is very young, and she is dressed competently and has an outstanding temperament.
Yao Ming was the owner of the Shanghai team, and Yao Ming once ranked 48th on the list of self-made rich people with a value of 2.2 billion yuan. However, on the eve of becoming the president of the basketball association, the Shanghai team was sold, and in 2017, Cai Zhenhua stepped down as the chairman of the basketball association, and Yao Ming became the new president of the basketball association, and since then, the presidents of the badminton association, table tennis association, volleyball association and other associations have successively completed the renewal, and the leaders in their respective fields have become the presidents of the association. After Yao Ming became the chairman of the basketball association, in order to ensure the long-term development of the club and avoid disorderly competition and causing the team's financial crisis, he proposed a salary limit order of 6 million yuan. Since then, communication between referees and players has been strengthened, and the long-criticized issue of penalties has been improved, and although the controversy caused by referee decisions still exists, it has indeed changed a lot from before.
In the early days of Yao Ming's tenure, the domestic basketball scene did change a lot, and it also allowed the outside world to see the hope of the rise of the men's basketball team, and the 2018 Asian Games champion, women's basketball Asian Games and Olympic Games performed well, which made Yao Ming's popularity doubled. However, after losing the 2019 World Cup on home and missing the Tokyo Olympics, Yao Ming, who served as the president of the basketball association, was also subject to a lot of controversy. In the past three years, CBA events have been based on a conference system, and the income of major clubs has decreased, which has put Yao Ming under a lot of pressure. Fortunately, Du Feng led the men's basketball team to enter the World Cup main game, the men's basketball team also welcomed a foreign coach with rich coaching experience, and the CBA league is about to resume the home-and-away system... Presumably, with the passage of time, the Chinese men's basketball team will be revitalized.
