Li Xiaoqin was a popular women's basketball player in the 80s of the last century, and participated in the 1984 Los Angeles and 1988 Seoul Olympic Games.
As the main guard, she helped the Chinese women's basketball team win the bronze medal in the Los Angeles Olympics and the sixth place in the Seoul Olympics.
After retiring, Li Xiaoqin became the deputy director, and in 2019, he became the head coach of the Guangzhou women's basketball team. Li Xiaoqin's husband Jia Fan was a basketball player in the Guangzhou Military Region, and their son Jia Qizhen is the main forward of the Guangzhou men's basketball team......
A family of three are basketball players, what kind of unusual fireworks life do they have?
01
(Li Xiaoqin and his father in the early years)
Li Xiaoqin is originally from Henan Province and was born in Guangzhou in 1961. Her father, Li Zhen, turned around and was 1.90 meters tall, and only started playing basketball at the age of 20, and later became the main center of the men's basketball team of the Guangzhou Military Region. After retiring, Li Zhenzhuan worked in the Guangzhou Sports Brigade.
Li Xiaoqin has a total of 4 brothers and sisters, the elder brother is a professional handball player and the younger sister is a professional basketball player. When Li Xiaoqin was a child, he lived in the sports compound of the Guangzhou Military Region, and the children often played basketball together.
Li Zhenzhuan found that his daughter had outstanding physical conditions, good ball sense, broad vision, dare to fight, and had the potential of a professional basketball player, so he deliberately cultivated his daughter.
When Li Xiaoqin was in the fifth grade of primary school, her father sent her to Guangzhou amateur sports school to practice basketball. The sports school is located in Yuexiu District, Li Xiaoqin's family lives in Tianhe District, she takes a 7-cent bus to the Lu Xun Museum every day, and then walks for more than 20 minutes to the East Field, and it takes more than two hours to go back and forth.

At the age of 12, Li Xiaoqin entered Guangzhou Weilun Sports School and became a semi-professional athlete. At that time, the folk basketball game in Guangzhou was particularly active, and the blackboard in front of the Guangdong Workers' Cultural Palace was like a movie trailer, often stating when and where the game was played between sports schools, enterprises, factories and mines, and fans could watch the game for free.
Li Xiaoqin is less than 1.80 meters tall and plays as a defender on the field. She's crazy, and the more fans she has, the more excited she gets. There are many such games, and Li Xiaoqin has become fearless on the basketball court.
In 1977, Li Xiaoqin was selected for the women's basketball team of the Guangzhou Military Region. She's an offensive defender with a big-picture perspective and a big vision. She is adept at interspersing runs, passing the ball to team-mates, or attacking when she takes chances.
In 1982, Li Xiaoqin was selected for the Bayi women's basketball team in Beijing. In 1983, Li Xiaoqin was selected for the national women's basketball team.

At that time, the Chinese sports delegation decided to form a team to participate in the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics for the first time. Soon after Li Xiaoqin joined the team, he thought he had no chance, but head coach Yang Boyong told Li Xiaoqin: You have to be ready to go to the Olympics. This is a great encouragement to Li Xiaoqin.
But for the Chinese women's basketball team to participate in the Olympic Games, they must get a ticket through the qualifiers.
In May 1984, the Los Angeles Olympic Games qualifiers were held in Havana, Cuba, and Li Xiaoqin traveled with the team. The Chinese women's basketball team is a tough battle, and in the game with the European powerhouse Bulgaria, it is often the opponent's three players who attack Li Xiaoqin.
She intersperses her runs and looks for opportunities to score from mid-range. In this qualifier, the Chinese women's basketball team successfully won the ticket to the Los Angeles Olympics with a record of 9 wins and 1 loss.

During the preparation for the Olympic Games, the Chinese women's volleyball team was in the training hall on the left and the diving dream team on the right. The Chinese women's basketball team is sandwiched between them, training extremely hard, and striving not to lag behind the Chinese women's volleyball team and diving team.

On July 28, 1984, the 23rd Los Angeles Olympic Games kicked off, and the Chinese sports delegation began to write legends in the world sports arena.
After entering the Olympic Village, Li Xiaoqin and his team members were a little nervous when they saw the strong European and American players and the black female athletes with a men's physique.
Yang Boyong held a meeting with the team members: Don't be afraid, you are a collective, not a single person fighting. Dare to confront, change the style of play, and dribble with your back to find opportunities to break through.

At the Los Angeles Olympics, Cong Xuedi and Li Xiaoqin were the main defenders, and in the intense games, Li Xiaoqin often replaced Cong Xuedi.
In the group stage, the Chinese women's basketball team met the Italian team in the first game and defeated the opponent 67-64.
In the second game of the group stage, the Chinese women's basketball team lost to the Canadian team 61-66.
In the third game of the group stage, the Chinese women's basketball team defeated the Yugoslav team 79-58, ranked second in the group and advanced to the semifinals.
In the semifinals, the Chinese women's basketball team met the South Korean team. The overall strength of the Chinese women's basketball team is stronger than that of the other party, but the players played abnormally, and as a result, they lost to the South Korean team 56-69, were squeezed out of the finals, and could only compete for the bronze medal with the Canadian team.
(In the women's basketball competition at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, the Chinese team and the Canadian team met twice in the group stage and the knockout round)
The Canadian team defeated the Chinese women's basketball team twice in the Olympic qualifiers and the Olympic group stage, and the Chinese women's basketball team's technical and tactical play is very thorough.
So head coach Yang Boyong boldly changed the formation, letting Li Xiaoqin start instead of Cong Xuedi, Liu Qing replacing Chen Yuefang as the main center, plus striker Song Xiaobo and other players to form a new lineup.
This lineup is faster in attack and blooms more, which makes the Canadian team very uncomfortable. As a result, the Chinese women's basketball team defeated the Canadian team 63-57 and won the Olympic bronze medal.
Li Xiaoqin not only scored 11 points alone, but also created offensive opportunities for his teammates many times.

In 1985, the Baltic Sea Games were held in Poland, and Li Xiaoqin participated in the competition with the team and helped the Chinese women's basketball team win the championship. She took the stage to accept the award on behalf of the Chinese women's basketball team, with a happy smile on her face.
Li Xiaoqin's knee injury is very serious, and the pain is often unbearable, and it takes more than an hour for her to rub her knee before each training.
In 1986, Li Xiaoqin returned to the Bayi team due to injury, and she trained while recuperating from her injury, striving to return to the national team as soon as possible.
During the training of the Bayi team, Li Xiaoqin practiced and Xi cultural lessons.
In 1987, Li Xiaoqin returned to the physical work team of the Guangzhou Military Region to take the college language examination. She has always had excellent grades, and when she heard that there was a member of the men's basketball team of the Guangzhou Military Region who did better than her, she became curious about him.

After the exam, under the introduction of his teammates, Li Xiaoqin met the boy. His name is Jia Fan, he is also from Guangdong, 1.90 meters tall, and serves as the main center in the men's basketball team of the Guangzhou Military Region.
Li Xiaoqin's knee injury was not yet healed, so her father invited a Chinese medicine doctor to come to her home to give her acupuncture treatment, and Li Xiaoqin stayed in Guangzhou to recuperate. Jia Fan often came to visit Li Xiaoqin and asked her out to play.
At that time, Li Xiaoqin and Jia Fan were not financially well-off, and when the two were dating outside, they drank cheap soda and ate cheap roadside stalls.
More than a month later, Li Xiaoqin's knee injury improved and he returned to the national women's basketball team. Jia Fan often writes love letters to her and sends her all kinds of snacks.

At that time, many members of the national women's basketball team had boyfriends, and they would receive small gifts from their boyfriends, and they compared each other whose boyfriend was the most caring, and they all thought that Jia Fan was the first.
In 1988, Li Xiaoqin accompanied the team to the Women's Asian Basketball Championship held in Hong Kong and helped the Chinese women's basketball team win the runner-up.
In the Seoul Olympics in the same year, Li Xiaoqin once again traveled with the team as the main defender. In the first game of the group stage, the Chinese women's basketball team defeated the Yugoslav team 53-56.
In the second game of the group stage, the Chinese women's basketball team defeated the Czech Republic 68-64.
In the third game of the group stage, the Chinese women's basketball team lost to the United States team 79-94. The Chinese women's basketball team won 1 win and two losses in the group stage and failed to enter the semifinals.
In the qualifying match from 5th to 8th, the Chinese women's basketball team defeated the South Korean team 97-95 and competed with the Bulgarian team for the 5th place.
As a result, the Chinese women's basketball team lost to the Bulgarian team 74-102 and finished sixth.
In fact, the Chinese women's basketball team in the Seoul Olympics is still the strength of the top four, and it is a pity to finish 6th in the result.

After the Seoul Olympics, Li Xiaoqin officially retired and served as a women's basketball coach in the Guangzhou Military Region Sports Team.
In 1989, Li Xiaoqin and Jia Fan got married in Guangzhou. In July 1991, their son Jia Qizhen was born. Li Xiaoqin handed over his son to his parents to take care of, and he worked diligently as a basketball coach to train newcomers for the team.

In 1995, Li Xiaoqin transferred from the army and was transferred to the Sports Bureau of Tianhe District, Guangzhou City as a civil servant. She entered the party school for further study while going to work.
In 1998, Li Xiaoqin was promoted to deputy director of the Tianhe District Sports Bureau. At that time, Tianhe District had only been established for about 10 years, and there were only five schools in the district to train Olympic talents.
After Li Xiaoqin became deputy director, he actively communicated with government departments. After several years of hard work, Tianhe District has 20 national characteristic football schools, 1 basketball school, 3 provincial traditional sports schools, and 36 municipal traditional sports schools.
Tianhe District has also cultivated well-known athletes such as Liu Shiwen, Feng Shanshan, Liu Xiang, and Yang Liwei.

Son Jia Qizhen inherited his parents' excellent sports genes, reaching a height of 1.92 meters and a weight of 83 kilograms when he became an adult. Li Xiaoqin and her husband knew the hardships of being a professional basketball player, and they didn't plan to let their son eat basketball.
But Jia Qizhen loves basketball, and after graduating from junior high school, she was admitted to Guangzhou No. 47 Middle School. This is a sports specialty school, and Jia Fan is a basketball coach at the school, and Jia Qizhen is studying and practicing under his father.
In 2009, Jia Qizhen was admitted to Guangzhou Institute of Physical Education, and a year later joined the Sichuan Jinqiang team to play in the league.
In 2012, due to the needs of her hometown team, Jia Qizhen returned to Guangzhou and joined the Guangzhou Liusui Club Xingbao Winery team as the main striker.

In 2019, 58-year-old Li Xiaoqin served as the head coach of the Guangzhou women's basketball team. She is full of energy and spends her days with the team.
Jia Fan worked as a basketball coach in No. 47 Middle School, and the work pressure was not as great as Li Xiaoqin's, so he took care of all the housework.
When Li Xiaoqin came home in the evening, her husband had already cooked the meal. After dinner, the husband took the initiative to wash the dishes and tidy up the kitchen. Li Xiaoqin wanted to intervene, but her husband pushed her out of the kitchen: You are too tired to lead the team during the day, and the main task of going home is to have a good rest.
At 7 o'clock in the morning, when Li Xiaoqin got up, her husband had already made breakfast.

Because the family of three is engaged in basketball-related work, Li Xiaoqin talks about basketball with her husband and son, and usually plays basketball games on the TV at home.
His son has a competition in Guangzhou, and Li Xiaoqin and her husband will go to the scene to cheer for him. After the competition, Li Xiaoqin and her husband will also help their son analyze and summarize, pointing out his strengths and weaknesses.
When their son comes home during the New Year's Day, Li Xiaoqin and her husband will call their son to play a three-a-side basketball game. They shouted, laughed, and ran, and the atmosphere was very pleasant.

After the family of three sweated profusely, they went home to take a shower and then went out for a good meal.
This sports home is different from ordinary families, basketball occupies their work and life, and maintains a deep relationship with each other.
Because of basketball, the family of three is more cohesive, loves each other more, and has a tighter heart.
In January 2024, Li Xiaoqin has crossed the threshold of 63 years old and is still the head coach of the Guangzhou women's basketball team. In addition to the old knee injury, Li Xiaoqin has no other geriatric diseases. She is full of energy, good looks, and in a happy mood, and continues to exert her spare energy for the basketball career.
