The Chinese women's basketball team is so powerful, winning the 2023 Women's Basketball Asian Cup championship in one fell swoop, ending the 5-game consecutive championship of the Japanese women's basketball team, is exciting, which is also a major event for Chinese basketball in 2023. We are not only the strongest team in Asia, but also the runner-up in the World Cup, and there is no doubt that the biggest goal of the Chinese women's basketball team in the future is to challenge the American team. I have to admit that the US women's basketball team is still the top team, but the Chinese women's basketball team already has the strength to wrestle with the opponent, the 2024 Paris Olympics, the Chinese women's basketball team may be able to impact the gold medal, Li Yueru and Huang Sijing and other core players return, the Chinese women's basketball team is very balanced inside and outside.
In this women's basketball Asian Cup, the Chinese women's basketball team won five consecutive victories, and the core players Han Xu and Li Meng performed well, they also played in the WNBA and were already international superstars. Among them, Li Meng scored 12 points in the fourth quarter of the final, turning the tide, and she was one of the biggest contributors to the Chinese women's basketball team's victory over the Japanese women's basketball team. The 28-year-old Li Meng has also won everyone's praise, and she has become a hero of the women's basketball team.
However, the controversy over Li Meng has always been mentioned. On March 18, 2023, the ex-wife of former women's basketball team leader Zhang Long complained on social media that Li Meng intervened in her marriage with Zhang Long to become a third party, and Zhang Long cheated in marriage. In fact, Zhang Long and Li Meng are already together in 2022, and after Zhang Long and his ex-wife divorced, they got married with Li Meng, and now the two are also legal husband and wife. After the incident was exposed, Li Meng's reputation was ruined, and she never responded to this matter on social media, probably hoping to calm the matter, after all, she was the first to lose.
On July 12, according to netizens, Li Meng responded to the controversy for the first time in 4 months in his interaction with fans. Li Meng wrote, "Thank you for your attention to my on-court performance, Zhang Long (Li Meng's husband) is paying on time every month." This is the first time Li Meng has responded to her husband Zhang Long and ex-wife in the past 120 days, and it can be seen that she may have the courage to face it.
The most important reason why Zhang Long's ex-wife exposed the matter in 2023 is that Zhang Long refused to pay alimony, Zhang Long's ex-wife and children need to live, and when daily life becomes more difficult, Zhang Long's ex-wife decided to expose the whole thing to seek help and put pressure on Zhang Long and Li Meng. Li Meng revealed that Zhang Long pays maintenance to his ex-wife every month, but Zhang Long's ex-wife's statement is completely different from Li Meng, about 3 days ago, Zhang Long's ex-wife interacted with netizens, she revealed that Zhang Long still did not pay alimony, "The two parties can sign an agreement, the law is recognized, the two parties can be converted according to the market price, Zhang Long can pay once if he has a deposit, if he does not pay monthly, it is okay, but if he does not pay, it is definitely not okay."
It is unknown who the specific words of Li Meng and Zhang Long's ex-wife are credible. However, Zhang Long's ex-wife has gone through legal procedures, and the case should also be scheduled for trial, if it is really as Li Meng said, Zhang Long will pay maintenance to his ex-wife every month, why would Zhang Long's ex-wife make such a big deal of trouble? There may also be a possibility that the amount of maintenance paid by Zhang Long every month did not meet the requirements of his ex-wife, who was expelled from the women's basketball team last year, and he should now be regarded as an unemployed vagrant, accompanying Li Meng to the United States to play in the WNBA. If Li Meng refuses to participate in this matter, Zhang Long may indeed have no money to pay alimony, in short, I hope this matter can be resolved satisfactorily.
