At the Asian Games held in Hangzhou in September 2022, a wonderful women's basketball gold medal battle thrilled all the spectators. The Chinese team successfully completed a big comeback at the last moment, defeating the Japanese team by a narrow margin and defending the women's basketball championship. "Come on!"Come on!In the empty stadium, the cheerleaders of the Chinese team waved the national flag and chanted cheering slogans. The players were running around the court, trying to rebound and scramble, and their jerseys were soaked. 
They know very well that this is another life-and-death battle with their old rival Japan. At the end of the first half, the Chinese team once led by 17 points. However, after Yibian attacked and defended, the Japanese team quickly chased the score, and at the last moment, the score gap was narrowed to 2 points, and the two sides entered a scorching confrontation. "Defend!"Defend!"The head coach of the Chinese team, Li Xiaopeng, commanded loudly from the sidelines, and he knew that this moment was a matter of success or failure. Captain Li Meng kept an eye on the defensive area, suddenly stole the pass of the Japanese team, and passed the ball to Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei jumped and shot, and the three-point shot crossed the long arc and finally entered the frame. 
Then the Chinese team firmly held on to the victory, and the final whistle blew, 75:70, winning the Asian Games women's basketball championship!The players hugged each other excitedly. Li Meng's hand holding the medal trembled slightly, and tears welled up in his eyes. This is not only their victory, but also the best footnote to the development of China's women's basketball career. This is the second time that the Chinese women's basketball team has won the title of champion in the Asian Games. Since winning the championship at the 2018 Jakarta Asian Games, Li Meng has led the Chinese women's basketball team to continue to carry the banner of Chinese women's basketball for four years and successfully defend the championship. Along the way, the team has put in a lot of effort. During the pandemic, they had to train separately, and they were tired from frequent competitions. But in order to achieve the goal of being the first in Asia, they gritted their teeth and persevered, and finally reaped the sweet victory. 
This victory is the result of struggle and the best reward for dreams. When the good news spread that the Chinese women's basketball team defeated the Japanese team to win the championship again, a real estate developer in Yunnan decided to reward Li Meng and other three main players, giving each of them a set of real estate in Chuxiong to express their affirmation of their good results. However, the move quickly sparked discussion on the Internet. Some netizens commented that the total value of the three properties is only 300,000 yuan, located in a remote town, and this kind of reward inevitably underestimates the great contribution made by Li Meng and others to the Chinese women's basketball team. "Just 300,000, you want to buy people's conscience?”
The location is so remote, and it is impossible for them to live permanently, this is perfunctory!There was a lot of skepticism. Representatives of real estate companies argued that this was just an affirmation and encouragement for the team members to achieve good results, and they did not underestimate anyone and did not involve other exchange of interests. Experts believe that the reason for such controversy is that people pay too much attention to material rewards and monetary benefits, and do not think from the perspective of team members and developers. In fact, after learning about this, Li Meng and his teammates did not care too much about the ** or location of the property. Compared to the joy of winning the championship for their country, this extra gain is just the icing on the cake for them. "We are simply happy and grateful for the gift from the developer. Li Meng said. One of their teammates also said that this will not affect their determination to continue to fight for greater dreams in the future. They will continue to work hard to win at a higher level. In addition to the joy of victory celebrated by the whole country, Li Meng and her teammates were not immersed in the joy of winning the championship. They chose to think together under the leadership of the coach and summarize the experience and lessons of this championship. 
There is still a long way to go, and we should not rest on our laurels. Coach Li Xiaopeng stood in front of the tactical board and reviewed every opponent and every game from the preliminaries to the finals with the players. We talked and analyzed back and forth to find out what could be improved and improved. During this time, the relationship between the women's basketball players has also become deeper and deeper. They are inseparable, glued together almost 24 hours a day to train, Xi, discuss, and entertain. Li Meng looked at his teammates, and a strange feeling surged in his heart - they are his closest family members in the arena and life. "We will continue to work hard for the development of women's basketball in China. Li Meng told her original intention, she knows that the significance of winning the championship is not only about honor, but also about driving the Chinese women's basketball team to a brighter future. 
And to open the door to the future, the road ahead is still very difficult. In the face of stronger opponents, they also need to continuously improve their individual skills and work closely as a team. Coach Li Xiaopeng has already laid out a detailed training plan for the next few years, the last of which is to win gold at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. "It's a tough task, but I'm sure the women's basketball team can do it!Li Meng clenched his fists, and his eyes shone with determination. When we draw our eyes back to Li Meng and her teammates, it is not difficult to find that this group of young girls is writing a vivid chapter in the revitalization of Chinese sports with their youth and sweat. Along the way, they have experienced hardships unimaginable to other peers. Training day and night, strictly controlling diet and rest, frequently participating in high-intensity competitions, and the double test of body and spirit made many teammates choose to quit. But Li Meng did not flinch, as the captain, she has always been unswervingly guarding her dream. It is precisely this indomitable will and unremitting efforts that have made us victorious today. 
This also inspires those who come after to continue to forge ahead. However, they still have a long way to go to win gold on the higher podium. Sports power is by no means something that can be completed by one generation, and it needs the care and support of all sectors of society to make this seedling grow into a towering tree. We need to provide Li Meng and them with more professional training, build a more advanced training base, and make sure that there are enough funds and resources to invest in sports. It is also necessary to improve the reward mechanism to make the efforts and gains of athletes more equal and fair. At the same time, companies can also offer more sponsorships, and developers can adjust the incentives so that they can focus on training without worries. Let's join hands and take concrete action to help these young talents grow. The Chinese women's basketball team has achieved good results, received corporate awards, and some controversies, all of which remind us that sports development cannot be separated from justice and sunshine. The emergence of critical voices has, to some extent, prompted the public to reflect on the necessity of commercial operations to intervene in sports. However, in this context, whether we agree with it or not, there will be some connection between business and sports. 
So what should we make of this relationship?Professional advice cannot be simply denied, let alone completely accepted and rushed. Business can be a driving force for the development of sports, but the benefits of business must not be higher than the significance of sports itself. Therefore, we need to establish a regulated mechanism where business cooperation takes place under the sun and the decision is in the hands of sports workers, not businessmen. For a national team like the Chinese women's basketball team, a strict sponsorship review mechanism should be established to ensure that the players are not disturbed and prepare for the game with peace of mind. Any rewards should also be based on the actual needs and wishes of the athletes. At the same time, it calls on businesses to assume more social responsibility. The real benefits of the reward should be considered, not as an advertising gimmick. If the developer really supports the Chinese women's basketball team, it can directly donate it for follow-up training and preparation. The Chinese women's basketball team has had many life-and-death duels with the Japanese women's basketball team in this Asian Games, and finally won the thrilling victory in the final, once again proving the strength of the Chinese team. However, we must not forget that apart from sports competitions, the Chinese and Japanese people are like a family. 
This final is full of youthful energy and sparks of friendship. Today, the young players of the two teams have stimulated and competed with each other in various friendly matches countless times. They transcend national and racial boundaries and fight for shared sporting ideals. Therefore, even if the Chinese women's basketball team wins the championship in the end, we should not regard this victory as a competition between countries. On the contrary, it is the result of sports exchanges between the two countries, which has allowed the flower of sports to bloom and enlighten audiences in Asia and around the world. On this basis, we look forward to further strengthening sports exchanges and enhancing people-to-people friendship between the two countries. The two heads of state can also strengthen strategic cooperation at a higher level and open a new chapter in China-Japan relations. Sport is not politics, but it can be a bridge to sublimate relationships. 
Through the persistent efforts of the younger generation of the two countries, we hope that the two ancient countries of Asian civilization, China and Japan, will work hand in hand to resolve differences, build mutual trust, and jointly move towards a beautiful new era of peace and development. Let's work together to create brilliance!
