Chinese 变变Japan?
Li Mingyang of the Chinese women's basketball team pretended to be sick and ran to Japan to change his name to Miyuki Sugiyama. In order to become a Japanese citizen, he will do everything to do it, and even recognize the Japanese as his father, how much interest is hidden behind this behavior that has no lower limit?
How capable she is
A legend in the basketball world has become a legendary traitor, she is Li Mingyang.
Li Mingyang, born in Jilin, China in 1994, is 1.96 meters tall and is a potential basketball player.
The education that her parents have given her since she was a child has made Li Mingyang's ball skills better and better, and her physical advantages and skills have made his head coach have high hopes for her.
And she didn't live up to everyone's expectations of her.
In 2010, at the age of 16, she played in the U17 World Youth Championship with the Chinese women's youth basketball team, in which she was the core of the inner line, shining in these eight games, with her excellent skills to defeat opponents, and even performed well against the Spanish team, helping the team win the bronze medal and tie the best result in history.
It is also because of this competition that Li Mingyang has become the focus of attention and is a rare basketball talent, and the national team also threw an olive branch to her.
Life began to change dramatically
Shortly after the 2010 World Junior Championships, Li Mingyang left the Beijing Shougang club in October on leave of absence for medical treatment, and has since lost contact.
After a series of investigations, everyone learned that Li Mingyang's family had moved to Japan, and not only that, but she also changed her nationality and name and became a "traitor" who was spurned by everyone.
It turned out that when she took a leave of absence until 2011, Li Mingyang was adopted as an adopted daughter by Akihiro Sugiyama, the minister of the Chanson Company, and changed her name to Miyuki Sugiyama.

In April 2012, she became a Japanese citizen, and in May of the same year, the Chanson cosmetics team also officially submitted an application to the Japan Basketball Association for player registration, hoping that she could represent the team in the Japanese league.
The Chinese Basketball Association had offered help to FIBA to find Li Mingyang, but the Japan Basketball Association claimed that it did not have her registration information.

FIBA eventually ruled that Li Mingyang could register with a Japanese club, but the Japan Basketball Association was fined 25,000 Swiss francs for violating international player transfer regulations, and the women's basketball club of Chanson Cosmetics had to pay a fine of 20,000 Swiss francs to the Chinese Basketball Association as compensation.
At the same time, it is stipulated that Li Mingyang can choose to play for teams other than the Chinese team after the age of 21, and if he chooses to play for the Japanese team, the Japanese Basketball Association needs to reapply.
The final result was that Japan paid these liquidated damages in order to naturalize Li Mingyang.
Li Mingyang's treacherous behavior made the Chinese Basketball Association issue a statement angrily condemning Japan's approach and warning domestic clubs to be wary of foreign scouts poaching. Li Xin, the coach of the national youth women's basketball team, angrily denounced Li Mingyang as a "scum" on Weibo, believing that she betrayed the motherland and Chinese basketball.

Although Li Mingyang became a Japanese citizen, she did not make a name for herself in Japanese basketball and was never even selected for the Japanese national team. Her actions have caused many people to feel angry and disappointed, and at the same time have triggered a reflection on the ideological education of young athletes.
There is more than one naturalized player
In fact, before this, there were several such people in the mainland.

Qingdao Xin, formerly known as Wei Xin, is a basketball player born in Qingdao, Shandong.
Despite his height of only 2 meters, he plays as a central striker on the pitch. Aoshima Shin attended Numazu Gakuen in Japan when he was in high school, and was later admitted to University in Japan.
After graduating from university, he joined the Japanese club Panasonic, but due to the limited number of foreign players, he did not get many opportunities to play.
Qingdao Xin's naturalization process began in 2010, when he also left the Beijing Shougang Club on sick leave.

Until May 19, 2010, the official website of the Japanese Basketball Association announced the list of men's and women's basketball training camps for the Asian Games, and Qingdao Xin's name appeared in the men's basketball 28-man training list. At this time, everyone knew that he had officially become a member of the Japanese men's basketball team.
Qingdao Xin's naturalization was concerned by the Chinese Basketball Association at that time, and the Chinese Basketball Association believed that his transfer did not comply with the regulations of the International Basketball Association, so it refused to go through the transfer procedures for him.
The Japan Basketball Association subsequently disqualified him from the player registration and appealed the matter to the FIBA, but after mediation by the FIBA, Qingdao Koshin was eventually granted Japanese citizenship and was able to continue his basketball career.
Born in Shenyang, Liaoning Province, China, Zhang Ben Tianjie has a strong sports background, his father is former Liaoning men's basketball player Zhang Jian, and his mother is also a volleyball player.
He has had a basketball talent since he was a child, however, due to the limited development of basketball in China, his family decided to immigrate to Japan in order to have a better chance of basketball development. So when he was in Japan, he became a Japanese citizen and changed his name to Zhang Bentianjie.
But unlike the previous two, Zhang has always been in touch with China and has a deep affection for China.

In 2008, he represented the Japanese youth team in the men's Asian Youth Championship, becoming the first Chinese player to be naturalized by the Japanese national team.
Since then, he has represented the Japanese men's basketball team at the 2011 World University Games in Shenzhen, the 2014 Asian Games in Incheon, and the 2017 Asian Cup in Lebanon.
On July 5, 2021, Zhang Bentianjie was selected into the 12-member list of the Japanese men's basketball team for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, realizing his basketball dream of participating in the Olympic Games.
However, it is all their own choice, but it is really difficult to evaluate those who turned around and joined Japan without a call and without notice after Li Mingyang chose China.
Li Mingyang's actions have had an extremely serious negative impact on the Chinese women's basketball team and the Chinese basketball community. Not only did her departure weaken the team, but her athlete loyalty and nationality choices in particular made many people scoff.
The occurrence of these incidents reminds the Chinese basketball community that more attention needs to be paid to the education and management of athletes to prevent similar situations from happening again.
