Li Meng, a leading figure in Chinese women's basketball, used to have advertising endorsements and variety show opportunities, but since her relationship with Zhang Long was exposed, her career and image have been hit hard. Why did she choose to be with Zhang Long? What is the reason for her behavior of changing clothes on the sidelines?
Li Meng is a leading figure in Chinese women's basketball, she has performed well in both the WNBA and the national team, and she is also the first player in the history of Chinese women's basketball to win the WNBA All-Star Game MVP. Not only does she have great skill and leadership on the court, but she also has a charming charm and personality off the court. She showed her beautiful photos and dancing videos on social media, attracting the attention and love of many fans.
However, since the emotional relationship with Zhang Long was exposed last year, Li Meng's career and image have been hit hard. It is reported that Li Meng lost millions of opportunities for advertising endorsements and variety shows because he was with Zhang Long. The producers who originally intended to invite Li Meng to participate in popular programs such as "Running Man" and "Extreme Challenge" canceled their cooperation after learning about her and Zhang Long. Li Meng also became unpopular, and was even called "blind" and "unknowing" by some netizens.
So, why did Li Meng choose to be with Zhang Long? Who is Zhang Long? What charm does he have to make Li Meng give up millions for him? Zhang Long is a men's basketball player who played for the CBA's Liaoning and Shanxi teams, but he did not have any outstanding results and fame. His appearance and height are also not outstanding enough, he is only 1.85 meters tall, 5 centimeters shorter than Li Meng. His background is also not prominent enough, he was born into an ordinary family, there are no special stories and experiences. In short, he does not seem to meet the criteria of "quality man" under some traditional standards.
However, it is such an ordinary and ordinary man who can make Li Meng fall in love with each other. It is said that the two met during the 2019 Asian Cup and quickly developed a good feeling. Both are basketball players, share common interests and topics, and understand and support each other. Li Meng once said in an interview that Zhang Long is a very responsible and responsible man, he is very good to her, and he also respects her career and choices. Li Meng also said that she doesn't care about other people's opinions, she just needs to follow her heart.
Li Meng's choice has undoubtedly caused some controversy and discussion. Some people believe that Li Meng is an independent and self-reliant woman, she has the right to choose the person she likes, and should not be swayed by the evaluation of the outside world. Some people believe that Li Meng is an unwise woman who sacrificed her career and image for the sake of an unworthy man and should not be sympathized with and understood. Others believe that Li Meng is an immature woman who lacks understanding and judgment of herself and the other party and should not be praised and encouraged.
In addition to his emotional relationship with Zhang Long, Li Meng also attracted attention because of another matter. That's how she often changes on the sidelines of the game. Li Meng often changed clothes or adjusted underwear on the sidelines before and after the game or during the intermission, which made some spectators and media feel uncomfortable. Although Li Meng will cover his body with a towel or teammates, he may still walk away or expose some sensitive parts. This behavior is considered by some to be unprofessional, uncivilized, and disrespectful.
However, Li Meng did not care about this, and she insisted on being herself. She once said in an interview that she changed on the sidelines because she liked to pursue her own comfort, which she felt would make her more relaxed and confident. She also said that she didn't intentionally want to attract attention or create a topic, she just wanted to be her true self. She also said that she did not find it inappropriate or indecent to do so, that she felt that it was a normal behavior and that there was nothing to fuss about.
From this incident, we can see Li Meng's character characteristics. She is an informal, self-conscious woman who seeks comfort. This personality trait is also reflected in her decision to choose to be with Zhang Long. She didn't care if Zhang Long met the expectations or standards of the outside world, she just had to follow her heart. She also doesn't care about losing some career opportunities or image scores because she is with Zhang Long, as long as she can get true love, she is satisfied.
However, on the other hand, we can also see another personality trait of Li Meng, which is also a weakness of hers. She is a woman who craves a big stage and the spotlight, and she is unwilling to give up her dream of WNBA, even though her age is no longer suitable to be the cornerstone of the team. She also wants more people to pay attention to her, so it's not surprising to change clothes on the sidelines. She may not realize that doing so could cost her the support of some fans and sponsors, and it could also affect her professional reputation and image.
Li Meng, a women's basketball player with a complex personality and choices, has paid a professional price because of her relationship with Zhang Long, and has also caused controversy for changing clothes on the sidelines. She is a woman who is informal, dares to be herself, pursues comfort and a big stage, which is both her strength and her weakness. Whether her career and image can be salvaged depends on her future performance and decisions. We hope she can find her happiness and balance and wish her to continue to shine in the WNBA and the national team.
