Once, there was an American report that "Yao Ming's daughter was only 76 centimeters tall at 21 months of birth", and even experts seconded: "Even if both parents are tall, from the data, Yao Ming's daughter may not be tall."
But in July this year, netizens took photos of Yao Ming's family traveling in Yunnan, and slapped their faces to predict the height of Yao Ming's daughter.
In the early years, after Yao Ming entered the NBA, his career was smooth and loved by fans, and his love life naturally attracted much attention.
Although he was asked about his personal love life many times, he avoided talking about it, but he did not expect that there was a single-minded heart hidden under Yao Minghan's appearance, and he said: "I just want her." ”
At the 2004 Athens Olympics, Yao Ming held the hand of Chinese women's basketball player Ye Li in front of the world and made their relationship public. It turned out that they had been in love for 4 years.
In 2007, witnessed by relatives and friends, Yao Ming Ye Li entered the palace of marriage hand in hand in Shanghai, and three years later, Ye Li gave birth to a daughter.
What happened to the once controversial family?
Don't look at Yao Ming and Ye Li living happily now, it was not so easy when Yao Ming pursued Ye Li back then.
In 1998, Yao Ming entered the national team, and Ye Li was selected for the national youth team.
This year, Yao Ming was 18 years old and Ye Li was 17 years old, just the age when the love between boys and girls first opened. The training base of the basketball team where the two are located is in the same place, and the two will inevitably meet, and this encounter, Yao Ming is moved by Ye Li.
But Lang has no intention of having a concubine, Ye Li had no impression of Yao Ming at first, Yao Ming did not give up because of this, and often ran to the women's basketball training venue during the training gap, just to have the opportunity to contact Ye Li to say hello.
During this period, Yao Ming often asked Ye Li to go out to watch movies and eat, but Ye Li mercilessly refused.
Yao Ming also wanted to open after being repeatedly rejected, and decided to respect Ye Li's choice and focus on training first, but his liking for Ye Li did not stop.
Later, Ye Li was seriously injured in training and received emergency treatment in Shanghai, for Ye Li, basketball is as important as life, and she is afraid that she will no longer be able to play.
After Yao Ming learned the news, while encouraging her, he asked the leader of the women's basketball team to let Ye Li go to the United States for treatment.
Ye Li was finally moved under the silent companionship and protection of Yao Ming.
But Ye Li really agreed to Yao Ming to be together because of the 50 team emblems.
Yao Ming knew that Ye Li had a hobby of collecting team emblems, so he exchanged team emblems with team members at the Sydney Olympics, collected 200 different team emblems, and selected 50 best to give to Ye Li, and later Yao Ming joked in an interview: "I'm afraid that Ye Li won't agree, and leave 150 team emblems as a backhand." ”
Since then, Ye Li returned to the team after recovering from her injury, and Yao Ming also successfully entered the NBA, and the relationship between the two was not made public until the Athens Olympics, which became a classic scene at the Athens Olympics.
The unique romance of basketball players
At the end of the Athens Olympics, the camera captured Yao Ming holding Ye Li's hand tightly, and the two happily attached each other and officially announced their relationship.
Previously, when Yao Ming and Ye Li were separated, Yao Ming also had a scandal.
Yao Ming is the first foreign champion in NBA history, he is not less popular abroad than other stars, and his love life naturally attracts attention from the outside world.
In addition, during the relationship, Yao Ming did not reveal any news of love, so foreign media often gossip about Yao Ming's love life, and there were many scandals between Yao Ming and other beautiful women.
In order to give Ye Li a sense of security, Yao Ming didn't want Ye Li to think about it because of the scandal, so he came up with a unique method. In the United States, he bought a BMW 745 for $120,000, with a license plate that read "YY-11," a license plate number that Yao Ming had customized.
Everyone knows that Y is Yao's initials and 11 is his jersey number when he was with the Houston Rockets.
Combined in this way, it is an extremely familiar code name for fans.
But in fact, it has a more intimate meaning - Y also represents the initials of Yao Ming's wife Ye Li.
And Yao Ming chose 11 as his jersey number, even more because Ye Li herself happened to wear the No. 11 jersey when she was on the Chinese women's national basketball team.
It not only represents himself, but also contains memories of Ye Li, and whenever fans shout "Y11", they are calling for the basketball memories shared by this sweet couple.
This is probably a unique romantic way for basketball players.
We wore the number 11 shirt, and even though we were apart, it was like you were there to cheer me on.
I didn't expect that Yao Ming looked like a humble boy and would engage in romance, so there is no man who does not understand romance, but he loves you or not.
The current situation of the Yao Ming family was exposed
In 2007, Yao Ming and Ye Li held a wedding in Shanghai, and in 2010, the two had a lovely daughter named Yao Qinlei.
When her daughter was 21 months old, foreign media said she was not tall.
Not only that, but even experts came to step on it and said: "From the relevant data, it is true, even if the parents are very tall, the children born may not be very tall." ”
Recently, netizens encountered the current situation of Yao Ming's family at Xishuangbanna Airport in Yunnan, which made those rumors self-defeating.
In July this year, Yao Ming took his wife and daughter to Xishuangbanna Botanical Garden for a tour, and the family's long legs were recognized by netizens when they were at the airport.
Ye Li is 42 years old this year, her casual dress style looks more energetic and vigorous, and her face is rosy and smooth, which shows that she is well maintained.
Daughter Yao Qinlei is 13 years old and has a height of 1.9 meters, which exceeds her mother's height, and looks like a sister traveling around her mother.
Yao Mingren is slightly blessed in middle age, and although Ye Li's face can see the traces of time, it is still charming.
The outside world saw that Yao Qinlei's height inherited the excellent genes of her parents, and once asked Yao Ming: "Is there any idea for my daughter to play basketball too?" ”
Yao Ming said: "Just want her to do what interests her, not necessarily require her to learn basketball. If she wants to learn, I will definitely support it and give her advice. ”
The love between Yao Ming and Ye Li is really enviable.
Now Ye Li is still a girl at the age of 42, which is enough to prove that Yao Ming loves Ye Li as much as he has been living after more than ten years of marriage.
People who truly love you will love you with all their strength, make you feel secure, and will do romantic things for you with their hearts. The person who really loves you, maybe he won't say a lot of sweet words, but will definitely do a lot of things that love you.
Love is also mutual, and you will also get true affection if you give your heart.
Ye Li has also been supporting Yao Ming's career, taking care of his family and educating his daughter.
Good love can make two people grow together, and good marriage goes both ways. I understand your hardships outside, you understand my hard work at home, and fighting together for the small family can go further.
