A few days ago, Chinese women's basketball player Li Meng ushered in her WNBA debut, representing the Washington Mysterious Man in the game, and she met the New York Liberty where national team teammate Han Xu was located in the first game. Although Li Meng only played 51 seconds in the first two games of the season, and did not have any statistics, her game still attracted the attention of NBA star Adams. The latter recently posted a photo with Li Meng and wished the other party all the best in the WNBA.
As we all know, Adams is a notoriously "tough guy" in the NBA. As the No. 12 pick in the 13th edition, Adams played for the Thunder in the early part of his career, assisted the "Dewey Second Younger", and in recent years he has played for the Pelicans and Grizzlies. This season, Adams averaged 8.6 points, 11.5 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.1 blocks per game. Unfortunately, he suffered a cruciate ligament strain in his right knee in January, and since then the injury has been repeated, and finally announced in advance, and the Grizzlies were also miserably defeated by the Lakers "Black Seven" in the first round of the playoffs.
Don't look at Adams' very old-fashioned looks, in fact, he is only 30 years old this year. When he first entered the league, Adams was also a piece of fresh meat, and later in order to make his appearance look more fierce, Adams became this look with tattoos and long hair and beard. Although Li Meng's height and physique of 1.82 meters are very tall in the Chinese women's basketball team, standing next to Adams at 2.11 meters, Li Meng instantly became a bird.
"Please see this is my new friend @ Women's Basketball Li Meng, petite and cute is she talking about? Wish you all the best in the WNBA and look forward to your performance on the court! Adams posted a photo of the two and wrote with the text.
Previously, some fans were also worried that after Li Meng went to the United States, he would be affected and disturbed by some controversial events in China, but now it seems that Li Meng is not only fine, but also quickly integrated into the new environment.
Although he is 28 years old, this is actually Li Meng's first time playing abroad, and it is also the highest level of WNBA competition. Facing these foreign players, whether it is training or playing against them, it can improve Li Meng's competitive level and enrich his tactical experience.
After all, although the Chinese women's basketball team won the runner-up of the World Cup last year, the gap with the American team is still very large. If you want to get closer to them, in addition to training harder, you also know that you know the other party. Therefore, it is definitely a good thing that more and more Chinese women's basketball players are going to the United States to play.
It is worth mentioning that this time Li Meng did not go to the United States alone, and her husband Zhang Long also accompanied him. However, judging from the daily life released by Li Meng during this time, Zhang Long has never appeared. Perhaps, Li Meng is also afraid that public opinion will entangle him again, so more is better than less. Since the Chinese women's basketball team has chosen to turn a blind eye and not punish Li Meng, I believe that time will also dilute everything. As long as Li Meng performs well in the next World Series, no matter how big the scandal is, it will be worth it.
