How did Yao meet?

Whenever Yao Ming foolishly goes up to strike up a conversation, Ye always finds an excuse to leave in a hurry. If Ye is in a good mood, Yao Ming will tentatively ask Ye out to play, but Ye's answer is always "No". Although Ye's indifference made Yao Ming feel uncomfortable, Yao Ming didn't give up. Yao Ming would be the first to rush to the canteen every day as usual, occupying a familiar position. However, the situation has not changed much. Looking at Yao Ming's tea and rice, he lost weight day by day, and some teammates could not sit still. In particular, several enthusiastic bosses made suggestions for Yao Ming's love life. Wu Qinglong, Hu Weidong, Liu Yudong and Sun Jun are the F4 of the national team. The four good buddies are inseparable, and they are also very warm-hearted people. Seeing that their younger brother Yao Ming was in such pain, they thought of finding a new girlfriend for Yao Ming. "Yao Ming is too high, looking for a girlfriend for him must not be short. According to the type of girl Yao Ming likes, Zhao of China Women's Volleyball Team is the most suitable candidate, so we tentatively asked Zhao's attitude. At that time, Zhao did not refuse to fall in love with Yao Ming, and always said that it depends on fate. " A teammate introduced the action of "saving" Yao Ming. After everything was put into practice, the teammates solemnly called Yao Ming to the room. "Yao, let's go and see the leaves. We found you a more beautiful and suitable girl. Are you going to invite us to dinner? " Unexpectedly, Yao Ming took everyone's kindness as a malice. Yao Ming shook his head firmly: "I don't want anyone, I just want my Ye Li." Teammates are not angry but happy. Yao Ming's infatuation made them appreciate it very much. "At that time, Yao Ming's spoony and pious appearance, now I remember, just want to laugh. Yao Ming is really a persistent person. He can achieve such great achievements now, which is inseparable from his past persistence. " This teammate told reporters. Yao Ming is the youngest player in Shanghai Men's Basketball Team after the Eighth National Games. But in the face of Ye Li, who is cautious and restrained, and never talks to strangers easily, Yao Ming feels that her achievements are far from enough. He wants to wait until he enters the national team before formally pursuing Ye Li. Therefore, when Yao Ming first wanted to make an appointment with Ye, the time had arrived at 1999, and Ye's answer was simple: "No."

Ye Li, 18 years old, 1999 was also selected for the national team. The young marshal Gong returned to China to take charge of Shuaiyin, and Ye Li was Gong's "Huangpu Phase I". Both men's and women's basketball teams live in the dormitory of the Training Bureau. Before long, all the girls in the women's basketball team knew that the tall man in the men's basketball team was chasing Ye Li. One day, a female basketball player told Yao Ming that Ye Li likes to eat Haagen-Dazs ice-before 2000, Haagen-Dazs was obviously a luxury, and there was only one shop next to Beijing Jianguomen International Club. So, as the women's basketball players expected, one night they saw Yao Ming and 10 box of Haagen-Dazs ice cream in his arms. Yao Ming let the girl who tipped him off give it to Ye Li, and then waited eagerly for news. The next day, the girl told Yao Ming, "Ye Zi said that she had nothing to do with you. Why did she eat your food, so we all gave it to her." Yao Ming pondered the price of Haagen-Dazs 10 box, and was speechless for a long time.

In that China women's basketball team, only Miao and Sui Feifei were selected for the national team. Most of the players, like Ye Li, followed Gong to start a new stove. The previous women's basketball team just suffered a fiasco on 1999. Gong is ambitious and works for two days a day. So at that time, the China women's basketball team adopted a long-term training system, and even the Spring Festival was not dissolved. From 2000 to the Spring Festival of the new millennium, the women's basketball team only had two days off on the first day and the second day of the New Year's Day. 1In the autumn of 1999, Yao Ming participated in the Fukuoka Asian Championship as the third center of the China men's basketball team. The men's basketball team was dissolved immediately after winning the championship, and returned to the local club to prepare for the CBA League which started at the end of 10, while the China women's basketball team stayed in Beijing. From that year 10 to the following Spring Festival, Yao Ming didn't see Ye again for five months. Since 1997, this is the longest time he hasn't seen Ye Li.

Yao Ming doesn't often call Ye Li, because Ye Li's voice in the receiver is still very cold. He occasionally sends messages to Ye Li and tells a joke or two, but there is little response. On the morning of Lunar New Year's Day, Ye suddenly received a phone call from Yao Ming. Yao Ming said on the phone: "You look down from the window, I am downstairs." Ye Li and her roommate Hu Xiaotao soon had other teammates. Looking down from the window, there are snowflakes floating in the Beijing sky, and Yao Ming, 2.26 meters long, is standing in the snow like a javelin, looking up. The girls were very moved and advised Ye to go down and see Yao Ming, but Ye was unmoved. In fact, Yao Ming stood in the snow for nearly an hour that day. Xia Song, a famous basketball agent, is a good friend of Yao Ming and Ye Li. His star sports company is in the office building behind Dongdan Stadium. Xia Song is generous and loves to make friends. Many players in China men's basketball team and women's basketball team have a good personal relationship with him, and they also like to go to Xia Song's company to play ball, have a meal and have a rare tooth. Yao Ming and Ye Li are regular customers of Xiasong Company. Facing the elder Xia Song, Yao Ming told Xia Song in detail about her secret love and pursuit of Ye Li. When a friend is in trouble, Xia Song naturally won't stand by. Xia Song telephoned Ye Li: "I invite you to dinner, and Yao Ming will accompany me. For me, you have to come. " This is the first time that Yao Ming and Ye have lunch together, even though a light bulb has to exist. After lunch, Yao Ming immediately flew back to Shanghai, which was a real "Beijing Day". Xia Song said: "When he left, his little face was as happy as a flower." Ye Li is envious of Yao Ming's participation in the Olympic Games. Yao Ming said: "I can see her envy, although she won't tell me." Every weekend, Xia Song always invites Ye Li to visit her company and prepares a big meal for her to enjoy. Of course, Yao Ming, another protagonist of the event, will also appear in the company at the most appropriate time. "Why are you here?" See ye, Yao Ming always walked over to say hello. Every time Ye Li would answer him, "I want to ask why you are here." At this time, Xia Song always comes out at the first time. "Yao Ming came to borrow a CD from me. Oh, by the way, you are still fellow villagers in Shanghai. Sit down and get together and get to know each other. " Lao Xia's face is still to be given. In the long run, the relationship between Yao Ming and Ye became closer. Yao Ming devoted most of his energy to the China men's basketball game, which was his first time to participate in the Olympic Games. He was a treasure discovered by the world in this Olympic Games, which opened the door to his superstar. Of course, he knows that he has to spare some energy-Ye Li can't come to Sydney, and he has to give her some gifts about the Olympic Games. This is obviously his chance to open Ye Li's inner door. Yao Ming is not as simple as buying a three-piece mascot for the Sydney Olympic Games. He has prepared many badges of the China delegation, which will be changed whenever he meets someone in the Olympic Village. After half a month's Olympic Games, Yao Ming won the badges of almost all countries and regions participating in the Olympic Games, including not only basketball events, but also various other events, totaling more than 200.

After returning home from the Olympic Games, Yao Ming didn't rush to take out these treasures, but waited until this year's165438+1October 20th-Ye Li's19th birthday. Yao Ming wrote this chapter in his autobiography: "I chose the best 50 songs and gave them to Ye Li as her 19 birthday present. That's why she finally softened her attitude towards me. After that, she will at least consider whether to go out with me before rejecting me. I saved the rest 150, in case she doesn't like it, I can try again. But these things are really good. When I am tired, I look at them and recall those interesting Olympic experiences, which can make me less tired. I am looking forward to the next Olympic Games, because both of us will participate, and then we can collect team badges together. "

A few days later, the new season CBA league was unveiled. Yao Ming led Shanghai to capture the August 1st rocket led by Wang and became a new urban hero in Shanghai.

Yao Ming is always patient with Ye Li. He carefully analyzed Ye Li's every reaction to him, hoping to find any clues about Ye Li's attitude change. After 2000, Yao Ming has been widely regarded as a star of tomorrow. The map of the future and the future are infinite. But at this point, Ye still didn't promise Yao Ming. A teammate with a women's basketball team asked Ye Li, "Why don't you get along with Yao Ming? Yao Ming will be the same in the future. I don't know how much money I can earn. " Ye Li said: "I don't want him to be a star first, and I don't want him to earn much money. Whether he likes it or not is the most important thing. " These words reached the ears of Yao Ming, but Yao Ming was very satisfied with the simplicity of Ye. Later, when Yao Ming arrived in Houston, Francis formally warned Yao Ming: "Be careful of the women around you. They just want your money. " Yao Ming said with relief, "I never need to worry."

Yao Ming has his own explanation for Ye Li's gnashing of teeth: "Many girls in China know how to be reserved, especially Ye Li. It is difficult for her to open her heart to others, and it is never easy to really get close to her. But if you gain her trust, she will stay with you firmly. This is one of the reasons why I fell in love with her. " Of course, Yao Ming found that Ye's attitude was softening, and even when she said "no", she would tell Yao Ming her reasons.

200 1, 10 In June, before the start of the men's and women's basketball and men's football league this season, Shanghai Wenguang Group, the owner of these teams, hosted a dinner for them on the top floor of Jinmao Building in Pudong. In this revolving restaurant, through the huge French window, you can overlook the magnificence of the Shanghai beach, which is particularly touching. Yao Ming spoke on behalf of the Shanghai Men's Basketball Team and promised that they would win the CBA championship in 20001-02 season. There was a story that made him more happy that day. After dinner, Ye Li went to the bar with him. Halfway through the season, the Oriental Men's Basketball Team rode the dust. On February 14, Ye Li tied a red knot on Yao Ming's wrist. Unlike many tall girls who insist on playing basketball, Ye Li likes basketball from the heart. Although she is 1.90 meters tall, her passing and ball control skills are excellent, fierce and ferocious. Before going to the NBA, Yao Ming often said, "She played harder than me." Because of her fierce kicking, Ye Li became a general under Jong Gong, firmly occupying the position of the main striker; But also because of her efforts, Ye Li suffered a serious knee injury in 2002. Someone told her, "You can't go back to the way you used to be." Yao Ming arranged for Ye Li to go to the United States for surgery, and then Ye Li gritted her teeth for treatment and recovery, and sometimes she cried in pain. The relationship between Yao Ming and Ye Li warmed up a few days after Ye Li's knee injury surgery. The doctor diagnosed that the probability of Ye Li returning to the stadium is very small, which is undoubtedly a fatal blow to Ye Li. In those months, Yao Ming used her mobile phone to send messages to Ye Li every day, telling stories, all just to make her sweetheart happy. Gong held his head high and said in the team, Everyone should learn from Ye Li's spirit. Because of this momentum, Ye Li was left in the national team by Gong as a wounded person, and could not compete or even train normally. Her roommate, Hu Xiaotao, later suffered a knee injury and was also left in the team. The two best friends encouraged each other and never gave up. They followed the team to Jiangsu and sat on the sidelines to watch their teammates play in the World Championships. During the Busan Asian Games, the two were left in Beijing. They watched their teammates and South Korea kill each other on TV and finally won the championship. "Xiaoye" and "Momo" are crying in the dormitory. Five years later, Hu Xiaotao became Ye Li's maid of honor.

This year, Yao Ming entered the NBA westward. Before going to America, they all realized that there would be few opportunities to get together in the future. Ye Li thought of knitting two red knots to symbolize that their hearts will never be separated. According to the custom of "male left and female right" in China, Yao Ming wears it on his left hand and Ye wears it on his right hand. People always think of Ye Li in Yao Ming, USA. The blue BMW 745, which cost $65,438+200,000, was specially modified, and the logo "YY- 1 1" was embedded in the rear of the car. "YY" is the first letter of Yao Ming and Ye Li's surname pinyin, and "1 1" is the jersey number of the Rockets and the China women's basketball team. 10, and we can't meet until May of the following year. Ye Li continued to stay in Beijing for recovery and training. Since then, more and more people have advised Ye Li. Some people say, "it's too difficult to persist with such a heavy injury." Ye Li said, "I just like playing basketball." Someone said, "Since Yao Ming is so rich, you might as well go to the United States to study at a university, and you two can be together." Ye Li said, "The money is his, so I want to continue to play for the national team." Some people say, "Why don't you just finish Athens?" Ye Li said, "And Beijing 2008." Some people say that you can't fall in love without living in a city, but Yao Ming and Ye Li are exceptions.

On1October 20th, 2002, 10, Yao Ming departed from Shanghai and flew to Houston. Yao Ming has an obsession-another month is Ye Li's birthday, which obviously will be a birthday he can't spend with Ye Li. Yao Ming has made a plan. Before he left Beijing, he left a friend 5000 yuan in cash. During that time, Ye Li was fascinated by all kinds of plush toys. Yao Ming said to his friend, "Go and buy me 5,000 plush toys, as many as you want, and send them to Tiantan Apartment on her birthday. I want toys everywhere in her house, and the biggest one is a monkey. " Because Yao Ming is a monkey. On the east side of Tiananmen Square, in the "Kumataro" toy store near Beijing People's Art Museum, CCTV basketball commentator Yoga Yu looked at a room full of toys and began to bargain with the owner. The shopkeeper said, "Which one do you want?" Yoga Yu replied, "I want 5000 yuan." An hour later, after calculating the quantity and price, the shopkeeper called two guys and began to help Yoga Yu carry toys on the borrowed Dongfeng truck. I didn't spend the last 5000 yuan. Spent 4000 yuan, toy 150, and then went straight to Tiantan apartment.

In the evening, Ye Li had just finished training when she heard a car full of toys arrive. Ye Li's mother was in Beijing at that time, in order to take care of Ye Li's recovery treatment. Yu Jia couldn't get into the apartment, and Ye Li and her daughter began to move toys upstairs several times. The security guard at the door said, "Do you open a shop?" When all the toys were moved to Ye Li and Hu Xiaotao's room, the chairs on the bed were all over the floor, and there was no place to sleep. Ye Liran walked into the corridor and shouted to her teammates, "People who want toys come and get them!" " "The teammates of the national women's basketball team each took at least four or five dolls. This is a group of happy girls. Miao Lijie took a pig with glasses and put it next to her pillow. Ye watched the girls choose, holding only the biggest monkey in her hand.

After the unimaginable pain and training of ordinary girls, Ye Li and Hu Xiaotao realized their dream of going to Athens together. In the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, the positioning of the China women's basketball team was completely different from that of the men's basketball team: the goal of the women's basketball team was to break into the semi-finals, while the goal of the men's basketball team was only the quarter-finals. After the first game, the difference became more obvious: the women's basketball team captured South Korea alive and the men's basketball team was defeated by Spain. However, then the situation turned sharply, the women's basketball team lost all the way and the group stage was eliminated; After successive defeats, the men's basketball team narrowly defeated Serbia and Montenegro by 1 point in the final battle and advanced to the quarter-finals. After World War I, the internal instruction of the basketball team was "Men's Basketball Team Learn Women's Basketball Team", but the subsequent anti-transfer leaders were unexpected.

After the First World War, Yao Ming was furious and gnashed her teeth, and made many rather fierce remarks, which caused an uproar. The leaders of the China delegation held a meeting for the men's basketball team that night to calm Yao Ming's mood. For Yao Ming, this is an Olympic Games with a heavy burden on its shoulders. If he can't lead the team into the quarter-finals, the result will be far more serious than his oath of "not entering the quarter-finals and not shaving his head". Ye Li participated in the Olympic Games for the first time, and her performance in the women's basketball team was not good. Yao Ming and Ye Li walk hand in hand in the Olympic Village every day, which is their quietest time every day. Yao Ming once asked Ye Li, "Do you think it's not good for me to say this?" Ye Li said, "I don't think so." Ye Li said: "I didn't expect the first Olympic Games to be like this." Yao Ming said: "My first Olympic performance was also very bad." Yao Ming wanted to watch a women's basketball game, but the China men's basketball team fought until the last day of the Olympic Games. It wasn't until the final opening ceremony that Yao Ming and Ye Li had a rude awakening after a night of fireworks. That's why they didn't avoid the reporter's shooting for the first time this night. Yao Ming held Ye's shoulder, leaving countless photos in the flash. At this time, the music in my ear turned out to be a China folk song-"Jasmine".

After all, Ye Li in 2008 can't wait for Beijing. After 2005, she had to bid farewell to the competition because of knee injury and severe rheumatism. From the 2006-07 season, Ye Li came to Houston to study at the University of Houston and came to Yao Ming. Just arrived in Houston, Ye Li didn't live in Yao Ming's house. She rented a house near the university, usually in that area. She studies very hard, and she is also very busy with her studies on weekdays. Even if she goes to eat near China, she will count the time. In addition, Yao Ming has to train for the game and go out to play away. There are not many days when two people usually meet. Only on weekends, Ye Li will go to Yao Ming's home to catch the home game of the Rockets and let Yao Ming's family have a lively meal together.

Not many people at the University of Houston know Ye Li's identity. Only a few professors and department leaders know that Ye Li is Yao Ming's girlfriend. Once, a buddy wanted to chase Ye Li and ask her out for dinner. Ye Li said: Sorry, I have a boyfriend. My boyfriend is Yao Ming. The buddy looked at Ye Li with exaggerated expression and replied: Don't make it up. You don't have to make it up if you don't want to go out. Ye Li didn't say much, but still studied hard in a low-key way. She has excellent grades and meets the criteria for applying for a scholarship. After the end of last season, Yao Ming and Ye Li have begun to sketch the embryonic form for their future life. Yao Ming will say in a proud tone, "Now she is learning to cook with my mother and making rapid progress." In Yao Ming's big kitchen, Ye Li cut vegetables and began to learn how to take care of a family. When Ye cuts vegetables, Yao Ming will lean on the other side of the table and watch. She will be very happy. When life returned to Houston from the wedding in Shanghai, the life belonging to Yao Ming and Ye Li really began.
