Since 2009, the Japan Basketball Association has tried to plan players in order to revitalize Japanese basketball. Subsequently, a large number of foreigners gave up their nationality to join Japan because of the favorable conditions prescribed by the Japanese Basketball Association, and among these people, in addition to the Americans, players from China accounted for a considerable proportion, including Zhang Bentianjie, Qingdao Xin, Kawamura Lisha, Tianjin Xi and Sugiyama Miyuki and a number of outstanding players, and among these people, Sugiyama Miyuki's naturalization process is the most unacceptable to the Chinese.
Sugiyama Miyuki, formerly known as Li Mingyang, was born in 1994 in Jilin, China, she began to play basketball at the age of 10, she has a talent in basketball, coupled with a height of 1.96, which also made her quickly become the focus of attention of the Chinese women's basketball team, and successfully selected for the Chinese national youth women's basketball team. In the 2010 U17 Women's Basketball World Youth Championship, Li Mingyang was the main force of the team's internal line, in 8 games, she averaged 16 minutes per game, contributed 6.4 points and 6.2 rebounds, helped the Chinese national youth women's basketball team to win the bronze medal, equaling the best record in history. And this game also made Li Mingyang a hot internal player in China.
However, shortly after the match, Li Mingyang was taken away from the Beijing Shougang Club by his mother on the grounds that his child was ill, and then lost contact. Then the club tried to get the players who usually walked close to her to contact her and do her work, but they couldn't get in touch. No one could contact her, including the Chinese Basketball Association, and the whole person seemed to evaporate. Even in early October, when the National Youth Women's Basketball Team concentrated on preparing for the U19 World Youth Women's Basketball Championship, Li Mingyang did not report on time, which also surprised the Basketball Association at that time.
Subsequently, after many inquiries, it was finally determined that Li Mingyang's parents left the club with their children and went to Japan with their family, and Li Mingyang also began to play at a club in Japan, the Chanson Cosmetics Team. This news undoubtedly surprised the Basketball Association club, and what was even more surprising was that in order to be able to replace the Japanese national team, Li Mingyang actually recognized Akihiro Sugiyama, the minister of the Chanson Company, as a dry father, and changed his name to Miyuki Sugiyama. Subsequently, she also successfully joined the Japanese nationality, was selected for the Japanese national team, and helped Japan achieve the best result in more than 40 years. In an interview, Li Mingyang also said that she can get better opportunities here (in Japan), which is also a big reason why she came here.
And this matter has attracted the attention and heated discussion of the majority of netizens as soon as the media has been exposed, although there have been cases of Chinese players being naturalized by Japan before, but the women's basketball team like Li Mingyang, who is still affiliated with the country, has not quit the matter, or it is the first time. What is even more unacceptable to the majority of fans is that in order to join the Japanese nationality, she even recognized the Japanese as a dry father, and even her mentor angrily denounced her as "the scum of Chinese basketball" in Weibo.
Of course, some netizens said that the behind-the-scenes instructions for this matter should be her parents, because a little girl who is only 16 years old cannot have such a heart, and then the media reported that "Li Mingyang went to Japan, the main reason is that Japanese companies gave Li Mingyang's family a naturalization fee of 500,000 yuan, and Li Mother avoided talking about this matter, did not deny or admit it." This news also seems to confirm the speculation of netizens.
