After more than 4 months, about Li Meng's "marital cheating turmoil" is still continuing to ferment, originally thought that Li Meng's husband Zhang Long and his ex-wife on the issue of child support has been coordinated through the court, but Zhang Long's ex-wife suddenly published more information in recent days, then Li Meng as an indispensable figure of the Chinese women's basketball team, this change in off-court events also affects the hearts of fans
The whole thing from beginning to end The Chinese Basketball Association seems to have never spoken out, but from the revelations of Zhang Long's ex-wife, it can be seen that in fact, the Basketball Association has been mediating in private, and many problems between the three are gradually being solved, and a lot of truth has also surfaced, especially the protagonist of this matter, Zhang Long, who seems to have an unforgivable deception of both women
Let's briefly explain the whole thing from the beginning, so that some uninformed friends have some understanding, first in March 2023, Li Meng, who played for the Sichuan women's basketball team at that time, helped the Sichuan team win the first WCBA championship trophy since the establishment of the team, and this is also the first WCBA championship trophy in Li Meng's personal career, because of her excellent performance, it quickly attracted the attention of the American WNBA League, and the basketball president Yao Ming is the same, after Li Meng won the highest honor in China, He joined the Washington Mystics of the WNBA and is about to leave for the United States
But it was at this happy moment that Zhao Lei, the ex-wife of former Chinese women's basketball team leader Zhang Long, suddenly spoke out on social media, in addition to claiming that her ex-husband Zhang Long did not fulfill his legal responsibilities and owed child support, but also pointed out that Li Meng, the core of the women's basketball team, intervened in the marriage of the two of them, which was the trigger for their divorce! In order to prove that what he said was true, Zhang Long's ex-wife even posted a number of private photos of Li Meng and Zhang Long's chat, and Li Meng was pushed to the forefront of public opinion in an instant
But Li Meng at this time, for the Chinese women's basketball team and even the Chinese Basketball Association is very important, first of all, at this time Li Meng has won all the honors in China, leaving for the United States is her next best opportunity to exercise, secondly, Li Meng is one of the heroes of the Chinese women's basketball team to win the women's basketball World Cup runner-up, plus the women's basketball Asian Cup is also about to start, so Zhang Long's ex-wife's revelation, the most headache is not Li Meng, but the Chinese Basketball Association! In order to protect the results of the Chinese women's basketball team, the basketball association could not come out publicly, and could only contact 3 people privately to start mediation
Because the results of the Women's Basketball Asian Cup are directly related to next year's Paris Olympic Games, the Chinese Basketball Association must not punish Li Meng, let alone suspend Li Meng, sure enough, after the start of the Women's Basketball World Cup, the Chinese women's basketball team in the absence of 3 generals, with the excellent performance of Li Meng and Han Xu, helped the Chinese women's basketball team win the Asian Cup!
And then we learned that the Chinese Basketball Association's private handling methods were: neither affecting nor punishing Li Meng, removing Zhang Long's position as national team leader, and contacting Zhang Long's ex-wife, hoping that she would not continue to break the news on social media
So the last point Zhang Long's ex-wife obviously agreed, from March 20 to July 15, Zhang Long's ex-wife did not post again for nearly 4 months, just replied through netizens' messages, originally everyone's unexpected things may be reasonably solved, Li Meng's sudden statement, once again angered Zhang Long's ex-wife, Li Meng suddenly replied to a netizen on social media, claiming that her husband Zhang Long paid maintenance on time every month
As a result, Li Meng's first statement really angered Zhang Long's ex-wife, on July 15, Zhang Long's ex-wife suddenly published a long article, once again put Li Meng, who was playing far away in the United States, on the cusp of public opinion, in this thousand-word article, Zhang Long's ex-wife probably revealed several information, the first point is that Zhang Long has transferred the house in Beijing to his ex-wife in order to make up for the previous arrears of alimony; Second, Zhang Long's ex-wife hopes to have a guarantee for the future of her children, that is, she hopes that Zhang Long will write a letter of commitment and the like to ensure that there will be no more arrears of maintenance in the future
Third, his ex-wife broke the news that Zhang Long was looking for Li Meng, in fact, he ate soft rice, and lied many times to deceive Li Meng; And the fourth point is even more exciting, the ex-wife claimed that when she asked Zhang Long for child support, Zhang Long actually asked his ex-wife to ask Li Meng for money, and said, "Li Meng has money!" In addition, in order to prove that Li Meng really "intervened" before the two divorced, the ex-wife revealed that Li Meng and Zhang Long's intimate photos were taken in June 2022, the Chinese Basketball Association found Zhang Long and hoped that he would resign in July 2022, and the time when the two divorced was in August 2022
However, this is not the end, maybe this time Li Meng's speech really angered Zhang Long's ex-wife, and then a netizen left a message "His (Zhang Long) child let Li Meng raise, super high level", Zhang Long's ex-wife replied to this: "This is the divorce conditions negotiated at that time." ”
This sentence is extremely frightening, that is, when Zhang Long divorced his ex-wife, Zhang Long may be in order to dispel his ex-wife's worries about paying him alimony, and the divorce promise proposed by Zhang Long actually included letting Li Menglai pay the child support for him! So do you know what Li Meng's annual salary is? After knowing the facts, you can know why Zhang Long actually proposed to let Li Menglai pay the alimony
Before Li Meng went to the United States, the two highest annual salaries in the domestic WCBA were Li Meng and Han Xu, of which Li Meng's annual salary before tax in the Sichuan women's basketball team was 5 million, and Han Xu was 4 million yuan before tax, and after Li Meng helped the Chinese women's basketball team win the Women's Basketball Asian Cup, the Sichuan women's basketball team also rewarded Li Meng with 500,000 yuan separately! However, after going to the United States, Li Meng's annual salary was much lower
Due to the league's ability to operate, the annual salary of players in the WNBA is generally relatively low, among which the highest annual salary player in the WNBA in 2023 is the Dallas Wings Ogun Boval, Her annual salary reached $235,000, and there are only 21 people in the entire league with an annual salary of more than $200,000, including two Chinese players Li Meng and Han Xu, both with an annual salary of $62,000, equivalent to about 446,000 yuan, which is far lower than the annual salary of the two in China, so the two went to play in the United States, completely to enhance competitiveness, of course, but also to better help the Chinese women's basketball team
Nowadays, Li Meng's matter seems to be becoming clearer and clearer, Zhang Long does have the problem of arrears of child support, which is also the trigger for this incident, and it is also the main reason why Zhang Long's ex-wife is angry and broke the news on the Internet, secondly, 28-year-old Li Meng may really be deceived by Zhang Long in some aspects, but now Li Meng Zhang Long is a legal couple, and I only hope that Zhang Long can quickly deal with the problem with his ex-wife, so as not to affect Li Meng's life
