When Yang Ming’s coaching contract expired and left the Liao Basketball Team more than 4 months ago, we once said: “The door of the Liao Basketball Team is always open to the guidance of Yang Ming, and this is his forever home!” During the rest adjustment After a period of time, Director Yang Ming and his comrade-in-arms Director Wu Naiqun are now "home" again.
