When she was a student at Penn County No. 1 Primary School, the track and field field was next door to the school, and Miao Lijie often ran on the track and field with the boys after school.
Su Hongwei, the coach of the basketball class of the Amateur Sports School in Binxian County, noticed that Miao Lijie was unusual and recruited her to practice basketball in the amateur sports school. Brother Miao Libin was not worried about his sister, so he followed her to the sports school every day to practice basketball.

Gong Luming tried his courage and was determined to lead the Chinese women's basketball team to turn over.
Gong Luming's training is very strict, and he often criticizes Miao Lijie. When the whole team ran 10,000 meters, Miao Lijie did not finish, and Gong Luming punished her to run another 10 laps, and it must be completed within 16 minutes. Miao Lijie lay on the ground aggrieved and cried.
Gong Luming turned his body around, not moved at all, and the team members were not allowed to persuade Miao Lijie. Miao Lijie was tired of crying, so he got up and continued to run.

In the life-and-death battle to enter the quarterfinals, the Chinese women's basketball team played against the New Zealand team, and the two sides played very anxiously. Chen Nan was injured and the opponent's two players were sandwiched, and he played abnormally, and he didn't score 1 point in 18 minutes, and only grabbed 5 rebounds.
Chen Nan, as the main center, played so badly that it brought great pressure to the other players. With 3 seconds left in the game, the Chinese women's basketball team still led 77-76.

After the Athens Olympics, the NBA Monarchs, Los Angeles Sparks, Charlotte Acupuncture, Seattle SuperSonics and other teams all took a fancy to Miao Lijie. The reason why she chose the monarch team is because the team's tactics are fast and flexible, which is consistent with Miao Lijie's style.
The second is that Monica, the assistant coach of the monarch team, once played in the Heilongjiang women's basketball team and was teammates with Miao Lijie.
Miao Lijie's monthly salary with the monarch is $10,000. The team has 21 players, including 10 defenders alone, and everyone has to rely on competition to get to the post, which is very stressful. If you don't perform well, you will be eliminated at any time.
