In the field of Chinese women's basketball, Li Yangming was once a dazzling star of tomorrow. Born in the plump Jilin Province of Northeast China, she has shown extraordinary physical fitness since she was a child - with a super height of almost 2 meters, which makes her stand out in the crowd in terms of body and attract attention!
For a professional basketball player, excellent height conditions are undoubtedly an important bargaining chip on the road to success.
Facts have proved that Li Yangming has been recognized by the local basketball coach since he was a teenager and began to receive professional and systematic training.
With hard work and a passion for basketball, she quickly rose to prominence and became an indispensable core of the team.
Whenever Li Yangming runs hard and sweats on the court, her swift attack and agile and flexible adaptability all make the audience fall in love and be intoxicated.
In 2010, at the age of 16, Li Yangming won a brilliant honor for the motherland and helped the Chinese team win the bronze medal in the U17 World Youth Basketball Championship, which not only refreshed the best record of the Chinese women's basketball team in the history of the event, but also made basketball fans around the world cheer!
At that time, countless fans were crazy about her wonderful performance, and the coaches also had high hopes for the young girl, believing that as long as she put her heart and soul into it, she would definitely be able to reach new heights in her basketball career and achieve even more brilliant achievements.
Li Yangming's hometown of Jilin Province is known as the "fertile wilderness of the Northeast", and this rich land has given birth to her outstanding basketball talent. Since elementary school, Li Yangming has attracted attention for her tall figure, and her height advantage allows her to always be the focus of attention no matter where she is.
Thankfully, Li Yangming doesn't see this unusual talent as pressure, but rather takes pride in it. The basketball coaches quickly spotted the girl's talent and didn't hesitate to include her in their training team.
As a young player, Li Yangming has always maintained a modest and studious mentality, and has deeply infected all coaches with his unremitting efforts and perseverance.
She never complained about the hard work and physical and mental exhaustion, on the contrary, whenever she stood on the court and sweated, her eyes were always filled with endless joy and satisfaction.
Li Yangming's hard work has finally been warmly echoed like a spring rain! In just a few years, she has quickly transformed from a basketball player to a leading player in the club.
Whenever the bloody battle comes, people are always eager to witness Li Yangming's unstoppable attack and flexible and resourceful adaptability on the court, and her unique ball skills have made countless people fall in love with her.
With unwavering perseverance and tireless fighting spirit, Li Yangming quickly won wide praise and high recognition from the coaching team.
She carries everyone's expectations and is expected to become the leader of the Chinese women's basketball team, win glory for the country, and achieve new achievements in international competitions.
With Li Yangming's outstanding performance in major competitions at home and abroad becoming increasingly prominent, she has gradually grown into the soul of the team. People are full of expectations for this young girl and firmly believe that she will become the backbone of the Chinese women's basketball team in the future and write a magnificent chapter for the country in a higher-level competition.
At that time, Li Yangming had an endless love for basketball, like a hungry person craving food, and it was unimaginable that she would turn her back on her motherland and former comrades.
She puts her heart and soul into training and competition, and has no doubts about the road ahead.
In everyone's minds, she is like a dazzling new star with a bright future.
However, no one expected that at this seemingly calm moment, Li Yangming was about to make a jaw-dropping and deeply disappointing decision.
In 2010, just as the U17 World Youth Basketball Championship came to a successful conclusion, Li Yangming suddenly left the Beijing Shougang Basketball Club quietly on the grounds of physical discomfort.
At first, everyone thought she was only away from the team for a short period of time to recuperate, after all, professional athletes often have to deal with injuries. However, what happened next completely exceeded all expectations.
As time passed, Li Yangming's whereabouts remained mysterious, not only did she not appear in public, but she did not even reveal a trace of news. People began to feel worried, and they searched for her whereabouts.
What is even more incomprehensible is that in order to fully integrate into the new owner, Li Yangming (Miyuki Sugiyama) not only changed his original name to "Miyuki Sugiyama," but what is even more incredible is that he openly recognized Akihiro Sugiyama, the minister of the Japanese Chanson Company, as his father-in-law! Seeing that this high-profile Chinese women's basketball superstar betrayed the motherland without hesitation, and threw himself into the arms of other countries in complete disregard of the country's dignity for the sake of personal interests, Chinese fans all felt unprecedented shock and indignation.
In the face of strong condemnation from all walks of life, Li Yangming (Miyuki Sugiyama) chose to turn a deaf ear, and even resolutely became a Japanese citizen in April 2012.
However, due to her minority at the time, she was not able to make a transfer according to FIBA regulations.
Therefore, the Chinese government resolutely refused to go through the relevant formalities for her on the grounds that she was a minor.
In the end, the International Basketball Federation had to take measures against the Japanese "Chanson Cosmetics Team" and demand that they pay about 2 million yen in compensation to the Chinese Basketball Association in order to settle this rare "treason" incident.
Since then, Lee Yo-aki (Miyuki Sugiyama) has completely transformed into a Japanese player and has begun to compete in various competitions on Japanese soil.
Li Yangming's departure has undoubtedly taken a heavy blow to people, and her coach, teammates, and relatives and friends are deeply disappointed. Within the Beijing Shougang team, her former teammates have severed ties with her, and former friendships have been shattered.
In response, the Chinese Basketball Association first sent an official letter to the Japan Basketball Association through official channels, hoping that the other party could assist in finding the whereabouts of Li Yangming (Miyuki Sugiyama).
However, it is regrettable that the Japanese side claims that no trace of this name has been found on the list of registered athletes.
Just when everyone was at a loss, after unremitting efforts, it was finally confirmed that the club that Li Yangming played for was called "Chanson Cosmetics Team".
Seeing that the former Chinese women's basketball superstar not only changed his appearance, but also poured all his strength into Japan, the Chinese side was shocked and angry.
According to the rules of the International Basketball Federation, players under the age of 18 are prohibited from leaving the team and moving abroad. Li Yangming clearly falls into this category, so the Chinese side immediately refused to go through the relevant formalities for her.
In the midst of a chill, the International Basketball Federation (FIBA) pressured the "Chanson Cosmetics Team" to pay about 2 million yen to the Chinese Basketball Association in order to quell the thrilling cross-border transfer turmoil.
Since then, Li Yangming, a female player named Miyuki Sugiyama, has become a real Japanese player as he wished, stepping on the home turf and getting ready to go.
However, in the face of Li Yangming's (Miyuki Sugiyama) such resolute betrayal, many fans in China were indignant, disappointed, and sighed.
The well-known writer Lu Xun once said: "Those who love others will always love them, and those who share weal and woe should also move forward hand in hand." Li Yangming, who used to shine like a bright star in China, was highly respected for her outstanding talent and extraordinary basketball skills, and the majority of fans and even coaches were full of endless expectations for her.
However, she destroyed this expectation with her own hands, and abandoned her former glory. Now in a foreign country, she is just a lonely "fallen person", leaving behind the glory of the past.
In life, there is nothing more precious than loyalty to the motherland. Far from adhering to this principle, Li Yangming reneged on his word and made a decision that made the people of the whole country bitter.
Some people have commented that she may indeed be a good scorer on the court, but when it comes to dealing with people, she seems too naïve and short-sighted.
Li Yangming is destined to be gradually forgotten by the world after retiring, like most professional athletes, but she has left a deep mark of regret and regret on people with her own behavior.
In fact, everyone has the right to choose their own path in life, but the key is whether this choice brings inner peace. Obviously, Li Yangming betrayed the motherland for the sake of short-term fame and selfishness, and it is really hard to imagine whether she can find that long-lost tranquility in her heart.
In contrast, Zheng Haixia, Song Xiaoyun and other players who have won glory for the country, although their honors are limited, their loyalty to the country and the team has won the respect and praise of countless people.
Li Yangming's experience has undoubtedly sounded the alarm bell for us, in the journey of chasing our dreams, we must adhere to the correct outlook on life, and we must not lose ourselves and lose our souls because of the temptation of temporary interests.
She may have been the hopeful star of the Chinese women's basketball team, but now she has become a deeply disappointed "traitor".
