The last time the Chinese men's basketball team reached the top eight of the Olympic Games was in the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, this is a game at the doorstep, but also a game to defend Chinese basketball, although it has not been able to go further in performance, but at least to defend the dignity of Chinese basketball, and for now, this is also the last highlight of Chinese basketball, the twelve players of that year are Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian, Wang Zhizhi, Sun Yue, Zhu Fangyu, Wang Shipeng, Li Nan, Chen Jianghua, Zhang Qingpeng, Du Feng, Wang Lei, Liu Wei (in no particular order), These twelve players are also known as the 08 Golden Generation.
Among the twelve, Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian, Wang Zhizhi and Sun Yue are all players who have played in the NBA, while the other eight are also top players in the domestic league.
Hello everyone, I am Kong Yiji, who loves to steal books, today let's gossip about the current situation of these twelve stars and their marital status.
01 Yao Ming
Yao Ming is a well-known player in the world, but also the first foreign champion in NBA history, he has been selected as an NBA All-Star starter eight times, averaging 19 points and 9.2 rebounds per game in his career, with his great contribution to the spread and development of world basketball, Yao Ming was successfully inducted into the Naismith Hall of Fame after retiring, is a well-deserved superstar on the international arena, and is also a benchmark for Chinese basketball.
Yao Ming is currently the president of the Asian Basketball Federation, but also the president of the Chinese Basketball Association, in the past period, the contradiction between Xinjiang and Zhou Qi shocked the basketball world, especially Xinjiang Guanghui's withdrawal from the CBA caused Xuanyuan waves, Yao Ming in the face of Guanghui's withdrawal, calm and calm, reply is also to overcome rigidity, both affirmed Xinjiang Guanghui's contribution, but also expressed regret for Guanghui's withdrawal, but also stated his position, word by word.
Since Yao Ming became president of the basketball association, he is exploring a new way out for Chinese basketball, and he has launched a number of measures over the years, including but not limited to actively establishing and promoting red and blue national teams, designating salary caps, limiting the playing time of foreign aid, and other measures. Although Chinese basketball has indeed suffered many hardships and missed opportunities in recent years, Yao Ming has made contributions in office, he has brought his private sponsorship to the CBA, and has repeatedly explored new ways out, but unfortunately now is in an era of withering talent, maybe focusing on youth training may be able to get on the right track faster.
Yao Ming's wife is former women's basketball player Ye Li, this is the goddess that Yao Ming chased for several years, the seventh level of the formal love between the two is also the year Yao Ming was elected NBA champion, now the two have been married for 16 years, their only daughter Yao Qinlei is now 13 years old, the height is also close to one meter nine, I have to say that it is really talented, the only deficiency is that she is still an American citizen.
After getting married, Yao Ming once said that he wanted to have five children, but now he has only one, which has to be said to be a big regret of Chinese basketball.
02 Yi Jianlian
The most dazzling thing in Chinese basketball in the 21st century is the two, the first decade is Yao Ming, the second decade is Yi Jianlian, as for the after, for the time being, did not see the dazzling players appeared, the fans who used to scold Yi Jianlian every day, unexpectedly began to miss Yi Jianlian, I have to say, this is the sadness of Chinese basketball.
Yi Jianlian is the second best of the six players in China who have officially played in the NBA, and the only player other than Yao Ming who can average a double-double per game, and can also play as a starter in a weak team, which is already a big breakthrough for Chinese basketball, but many people are hacking him and scolding him, the reason is actually not complicated, the first is because Yao Mingzhuyu is in front, and the second is because he is a high pick player who has high hopes from Chinese fans, not Yi Jianlian's performance in the NBA, It's that Chinese fans have too high expectations for Yi Jianlian in the NBA.
Another reason why Yi Jianlian was scolded was the struggle of the men's basketball team in the early post-Yao era, especially the loss of the Asian Championship championship in 2009, but all this was beaten back by Yi Jianlian, and the Haddadi, who had flaunted his might on Yi Jianlian's head, was finally subdued by Yi Jianlian.
Yi Jianlian is still playing for Guangdong Hongyuan, but there are indications that this may be his last season, and his direction is clear, either into Hongyuan's management or coaching staff, or focusing on running his business empire.
Yi Jianlian's wife is the famous model Jing Ling, who was once a Brazilian football baby, and after the two got married in a low-key manner, Jing Ling gave birth to two sons for Yi Jianlian, but according to various sources, both of his sons became American citizens.
03 Wang Zhizhi
Chasing the wind teenager Wang Zhizhi, he is not only the main member of the 08 golden generation, but also the main member of the 96 golden generation, in the 96 Atlanta Olympics, 19-year-old Wang Zhizhi became the second scorer after "China Jordan" Hu Weidong, and Yao Ming, Battle and called China's "Moving Great Wall".
Wang Zhizhi's offensive talent is top-notch, and he was selected by the NBA in '99 and negotiated a contract with the Mavericks, but unfortunately, because of his special military status and many complex reasons, Wang Zhizhi failed to make the trip in '99 and missed the best training opportunity.
Some people say that if Wang Zhizhi could enter the NBA in 99, then he could replace Nowitzki, this statement is not flattering, but the achievement will definitely be higher than now, after all, the training value of 22-year-old players and 24-year-old players is very different, once played, there will be no "no return" incident later.
And the incident of no return was also a misunderstanding to a certain extent, when Wang Zhizhi had reported to the leader that he would return to the team after the summer league, and the leader also acquiesced, but due to his special status, it could not be publicly announced, but a female reporter in the United States chased after this in order to be famous, only to make things out of control, at the worst time, Wang Zhizhi was almost completely blocked, but fortunately, in the end, with the efforts of both sides, Wang Zhizhi also returned to the embrace of the motherland.
Wang Zhizhi has experienced a total of two marriages, the first is with the rich woman Song Yang who is 3 years older than him, in Wang Zhizhi's most difficult years, it was Song Yang who accompanied her through those difficult years, Song Yang also gave her a son Wang Xilin, once known as a basketball giant, currently in college, but unfortunately, Wang Zhizhi and Song Yang did not make it to the end.
And Wang Zhizhi's second marriage is with Guangxi TV's beautiful host Zhou Lei, at the end of last year, Zhou Lei gave birth to a son for Wang Zhizhi, and also surprised as the host of the Guangxi TV Spring Festival Gala, Wang Zhizhi once served as the head coach of the Bayi Nanchang team, but then the Bayi team was disbanded, and Wang Zhizhi also returned to work in the army, mainly in the field of basketball.
04 Sun Yue
Sun Yue should be the most physically talented defender in Chinese history, but his career can be said to be full of disasters, when he was called up by the national team in 04, because the owner Li Su refused to give up Sun Yue's international signing rights in vain, the two sides were always deadlocked, and the national team twice called Sun Yue was rejected by the tough Li Su, and finally left the CBA with Ao Shen.
After leaving the CBA, the original advanced team concept of the Oshen gradually became no ball to play, wandering between the United States and Taiwan, but also played some unpopular games, and slowly the whole team atmosphere became scattered, and Sun Yue always followed Aoshen everywhere because of his lifelong contract with Aoshin, failed to get the most reasonable training in the golden period of his career, and also led to Sun Yue's failure to fulfill his talent.
However, Sun Yue later returned to the national team and helped the team achieve miracles, his defense is also an indispensable existence of the 08 session, and Sun Yue won the NBA and CBA double championship, maybe many people take this championship as a joke, but get it is get it.
Sun Yue and Gu Chen's relationship was also rumored to be a good story at that time, but after experiencing many setbacks, the two eventually failed to come together, and later Sun Yue and sexy model Chen Lu got married, and was once considered the golden boy and jade girl in the sports world, and the two sons and daughters were also extremely cute, but in the first two years, the media broke the news that Sun Yue and Chen Lu divorced and left the house, and after the news came out, Sun Yue also disappeared and was self-depressed for a while, but from the recent news, Sun Yue has rediscovered himself, He is currently focusing on youth basketball training and has become a basketball coach.
05 Zhu Fangyu
Zhu Fangyu is currently the general manager of Guangdong Hongyuan, which has enjoyed a thriving record under the joint efforts of him and coach Du Feng, winning three consecutive championships between the first 19 and 21 years, and Guangdong team has also transformed from eight crowns to eleven champions.
Zhu Fangyu also experienced two marriages, the first is a vigorous love with former Chinese gymnast Hu Mei, the two met in the Athens Olympics in 04, received a license in 07, and held a wedding after the Beijing Olympics in 08, in the middle of a high-profile show of love, the wedding was unprecedented, the reputation spread throughout the sports world, Hu Mei also gave birth to two sons for Zhu Fangyu, which should have been a happy and happy life, but in 2014, the news of the divorce of the two came out, and it made everyone known in the city, and Zhu Fangyu was also picked up of the cheating scandal.
The woman who was picked up for cheating is Zhu Fangyu's second wife Tang Ziqiao, Tang Ziqiao is a native of Guangzhou, rich family, graceful figure, is a model in the circle, and often travels to Europe and the United States, after the two got married, Tang Ziqiao gave birth to a son for Zhu Fangyu, and Zhu Fangyu also became the father of three children.
06 Wang Shipeng
Wang Shipeng is one of the famous big heart players of the Chinese men's basketball team, and the story of the defeat of Slovenia in '06 is still regarded as a myth.
After retiring, Wang Shipeng continued to plunge into the field of basketball, first of all, Wang Shipeng became a professor of Guangzhou Institute of Physical Education, and on weekdays to cultivate talents as his own responsibility, he passed on his years of accumulated basketball experience and skills to students, and secondly, Wang Shipeng also focused on commenting after retirement, and every time he saw the Chinese men's basketball team lose, he could see Wang Shipeng's red eyes.
Wang Shipeng's wife is Bai Fumei and a graduate student of British returnees, and the two have a very happy life after marriage.
07 Li Nan
Li Nan, like Wang Zhizhi, is a player who survived from the golden generation of 96 in 96, he played four consecutive Olympic Games for China, and is also the captain of the Beijing Olympic men's basketball team, and is also the blessing of Chinese basketball, in his Atlanta Olympics, Athens Olympics, Beijing Olympics, the Chinese team has won the eighth place, it can be said that Li Nan almost passed the peak of the entire Chinese men's basketball team.
Li Nan became a coach after retiring, but his coaching career is not smooth, it can be said that there are ups and downs, especially the 2019 World Cup loss, so that Li Nan has a huge reputation, a scolding resigned from the position of men's basketball coach, sadly out of class, but can the responsibility for the men's basketball loss really be completely blamed on Li Nan?
Li Nan and his wife Dai Min were licensed in 1999, married in 2001, when the two met, that is, 14 or 5 years old, it can be said that they are childhood sweethearts, two little guesses, and the relationship has always been very harmonious, Li Nan is currently coaching in Jiangsu Kendia, and Li Nan's son Li Luxiao is currently playing in Kendia, the height has reached 2.19 meters, and last year was also selected for the Chinese men's basketball second team, it is worth mentioning that when Li Nan was 45 years old, Dai Min gave birth to a daughter for him, who is now four years old, very cute.
08 Chen Jianghua
Chen Jianghua once worked on the coaching staff of Guangdong Hongyuan after retiring, but chose to return to his family after a year of work, although Hongyuan's repeated retention was to no avail.
In fact, Chen Jianghua is only 34 years old this year, he appeared in the New York Times when he was 14 years old, he is extremely fast, probably the fastest defender in China, playing low-key and selfless, and deeply loved by fans.
Chen Jianghua's wife is Nie Huidan, a native of Jiangsu, the two met very early, on May 29, 2012, Nie Huidan gave birth to twin sons for Chen Jianghua, and the wedding of the two was delayed again and again because of the London Olympics, and the marriage was not consummated until the end of 12.
Nie Huidan acted as a full-time wife after getting married, but after Chen Jianghua retired, she handed over the baton to Chen Jianghua, so we see that Chen Jianghua's personal media always shows photos of him full-time with a baby, Hua Zi is not short of money at all, in addition to salary, he is still a Guangzhou native, so it seems not surprising that netizens rumored that he was collecting rent.
09 Du Feng
After coach Du Feng retired from Hongyuan, he was helped to the position of head coach, and after Zhu Fangyu became the general manager of Hongyuan, the two cooperated tacitly to lead Guangdong Hongyuan out of the trough quickly, and helped Guangdong team win three consecutive championships in 19-21 years, which is also the tenth championship of Du Feng's CBA career.
Du Feng's CBA coaching career is extremely successful, this season's Guangdong Hongyuan is still a championship team, but his national team coaching career is quite controversial, in last year's World Preliminary Tournament with a number of defenders to participate was also spit on by many fans, and finally in the midst of scolding.
Du Feng's wife is Ma Chenfei, once a genius of the Chinese women's swimming team, but due to injury reasons sadly retired, the two were married in 2009, in 2010 Ma Chenfei gave birth to Du Feng son "Tiger Head", in 14 years there was a scandal of Du Feng and Ma Chenfei's divorce, but at that time both had come forward to refute the rumors, just some time ago, Du Feng's mother-in-law also posted a photo of a family celebrating her birthday.
