News source, Yang Ali, who had played for Shougang for three years men’s basketball, left the team today and set off for Xinjiang to join the Fujian team who will play warm-up here. After meeting with Fujian team, Yang Ali will officially complete the 2+1 contract with the team. Yang Ali told the reporter of Beijing Youth Daily, “I am very grateful to Shougang team for their training and care in the past five years (two years youth team and three years CBA), the Shougang team made me feel like home. I think this career stage needs more games to exercise and improve. I am very grateful to Shougang team for their support.”
Yang Ali was once the main defender of the National Youth. Shougang men’s basketball also recruited him to the youth team very early. Three years ago, Yang Ali was promoted to the first team, and he was expected by the outside world at that time. Shougang men’s basketball has gone through the process of reconstruction in recent years. On the one hand, they hope that the team will turn new and old, and on the other hand, they should try their best to maintain the league results. After all, this team has a history of championship. Yang Ali has maintained a positive training attitude in the past three years. He is a very diligent player. Reporters from Beijing Youth Daily have learned through interviews over the years that Yang Ali always took the initiative to practice after the whole team of Wukesong Stadium training before the epidemic, and then took a taxi to return to the station. On weekends, Shougang defender foreign aid will also pull Yang Ali to train alone. Yang Ali hopes that he will be ready to seize the opportunity when it comes. However, Shougang men’s basketball has had some outstanding defender players in these three years, including Fang Shuo, Liu Xiaoyu, Tian Yuxiang, etc., and there are still many defender foreign aid. In recent seasons, Shougang men’s basketball defender foreign aid is equipped with two. Under such circumstances, Yang Ali has relatively few opportunities to exercise on the court. In the second half of the 2022-23 season, Yang Ali did not enter the big list many times.
After the end of the 2022-23 season, Yang Ali’s rookie contract with Shougang team expired. Shougang men’s basketball wanted to renew Yang Ali, and also offered to renew the contract. However, if the Shougang team was renewed, Yang Ali’s outbound time in the new season may not increase significantly. At this time, the Fujian team hoped that he could join. Although the Fujian team has renewed the main defender like Li Yiyang, Yang Ali definitely has a certain time and opportunity to play in the lineup configuration. That’s why Yang Ali finally chose to play for Fujian team. Yang Ali told the reporter of Beijing Youth Daily: “I am very reluctant to leave Shougang team. These five years have left many precious memories. Shougang team has been very kind to me these five years, I also take care of it. It is like a big family here. Making this decision is also very tangled, but in the end I think I should go out to play more games at this stage. I am very grateful to Shougang for their care and support over the years.”
