"Baby, fly!"
One day in 2022, a young mother watched with a smile as her child flew through the air, and the person who lifted the child was his father.
The child and his mother are not as tall as this father, and although the father is surprisingly tall, there are many people in the community who really don't know anything else about him.
He is not an ordinary person, on July 9 of this year, at the opening ceremony of the 12th Basketball Culture Festival in Jiaozuo, Henan, he was awarded the image ambassador of Jiaozuo Basketball Culture Festival.
In the basketball world, he used to gallop on the field, invincible, and has three CBA championship gold rings.
However, in recent years, he has moved away from the game, reduced his training, and turned to basketball peripheral work, so even fewer people know him. So who is he?
The years are unforgiving
He is the former basketball star and former national player of the men's basketball team, Li Gen.
Why hasn't Lee stopped focusing on competition and training in recent years?
It turns out that he is getting older and older, and although Li Gen, who is in his 30s, is strong, his reflexes, running speed, and stability when jumping are not as good as before.
The only advantage that Lee has now is his rich basketball experience and proud achievements.
In addition to his age, he also has a lot of injuries in his body, which athlete is not scarred? The more good the athlete, the more injuries he has, the more serious the injury.
Like other athletes, Li Gen's ligaments, joints, and bones have been injured many times, and sometimes even walking is in unbearable pain, let alone training and competing.
It's a little better when you're training, but when you're in a game, who's going to pay attention to you?
It is inevitable that there will be many bumps, which will aggravate the injury.
This situation will affect the performance of the game, which will cause dissatisfaction in the club, so Li Gen can only stay away from the basketball center.
Of course, there is another reason why it is difficult for Li Gen to achieve the same results as before, and this reason is also the factor that hits him the hardest.
This blow had to make him choose again, get married for the second time, and in the community, the person who accompanied him to tease the children was his second wife, a doctor from the Chinese People's University.
When the two got married, they were very low-key, if it weren't for someone who found out and took a photo and posted it on the Internet, people wouldn't know that Li Gen was married again.
Perhaps he thought he was still basking in the pain of his first failed marriage.
The first marriage was not as low-key as the second marriage, and it was very high-profile, with two grand weddings held in Jiaozuo and Beijing, and his mentor, leaders of many teams and friends in the basketball world came to congratulate him.
Not only is the wedding scene grand, but even the life after marriage is always full of rainbows.
Unfortunately, that marriage was very short-lived, the wedding was held on June 4, 2017, and the divorce was divorced on February 22, 2021.
What's even more unexpected is that the speed of Li Gen's remarriage is not inferior to the speed of the failure of his first marriage, and he remarried in June 2021.
Why did Li Gen and his ex-wife divorce? Perhaps the values of the two are completely different.
A few years ago, at a party, he met Wang Xingyang under the introduction of others.
The young and beautiful Wang Xingyang left a deep impression on him, and the two left contact information for each other when they met for the first time.
Emaciated camels are bigger than horses
Unexpectedly, Wang Xingyang aroused Li Gen's appetite, and after a chance encounter, he was silent, but how could Li Gen hold back his emotions?
You have to know that you are not young anymore, so you take the initiative to contact Wang Xingyang, but you still have to find an excuse. Where's the excuse?
As a non-system star who came to Beijing from Henan.
In order to survive, Li Gen devoted himself to training when he first arrived in the Beijing team, although he longed for the famous ancient capital of Beijing, but he never turned around.
When he expressed his wish, Wang Xingyang patted his chest: "Brother, follow me."
After the eyebrows were in love with the blue bricks and tiles, the two held hands, and the relationship quickly warmed up, and finally walked into the wedding hall hand in hand.
At that time, Li Gen was very satisfied with his wife Wang Xingyang, patted his chest and promised:
"All my income is in your hands".
After marriage, Wang Xingyang spent a lot of money, and brand-name watches, brand-name clothing, luxury cars and villas were all replaced by her with the money earned by Li Gen, not only replaced, but also frequently displayed on Weibo and Moments.
At the beginning, people thought that Li Gen was really a good man, and the two had a deep relationship.
It wasn't until Li Gen announced his divorce later that people knew that the marriage of the two people was golden and ruined.
Some people knew that the two of them sighed after they broke up, and after a while, these people knew that Li Gen had made a true decision.
People say that beauties love heroes, but Wang Xingyang loves heroes and loves banknotes even more, after the two divorced, it stands to reason that Li Gen earned all this money, even if he can't add two to five, at least he should return part of it to Li Gen, Li Gen said "tube", not "give", but Wang Xingyang didn't think so.
Li Gen didn't get a penny back, so he had to go to court.
If he didn't get the money back, would Li Gen starve to death on the streets? Of course not, as the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse.
I love basketball more than gold
After all, Li Gen has a strong ability, needless to say that he can participate in competitions and get bonuses, that is, he is a coach in a training school, or an endorsement of a commodity, and he can get a lot of income from huge traffic.
In the past few years, Li Gen has regained luxury cars, villas and exquisite life by participating in basketball peripheral activities.
Wang Xingyang loves money very much, which is certainly related to her own personality, but it may be more or less influenced by Li Gen, who is a master who loves basketball and gold.
Most athletes want to be able to become players in the system after entering the national team or provincial team, but Li Gen has never had such a plan and action.
For many years, he has traveled all over the country as an out-of-system player, and whoever gives more money will go wherever he goes.
If there are institutional restrictions, you can't transfer arbitrarily.
In 2008, Li Gen entered the Shanghai men's basketball team and began to play in the professional league, but he didn't expect that two years later, he ran to Qingdao and became a cadre of Double Star.
After only three years, he ran to Beijing and got the first gold ring of the CBA championship.
People thought that he would take root at the foot of the imperial city, but who would have thought that in just two years, he would run to the Xinjiang team that gave more money.
However, after entering the Xinjiang team, he began to decline.
Because at this time, his physical pain began to erupt, and four years later, Li Gen returned to Shanghai.
Of course, it is difficult for the Xinjiang team to have outstanding results, which may also have something to do with his distraction after getting married.
After returning to Shanghai, he still found it difficult to play the glory of the year, so he returned to Beijing in 2020.
The divorce was announced the following year, and it was then that people learned that he could not regain his strength in Shanghai, perhaps because of the unhappiness of his marriage.
However, after the divorce, it is still difficult for him to smile in the Beijing team, which is estimated to be related to the property disputes after the divorce, and he has not recovered from his age and injuries.
It is sad that Li Gen is gradually moving away from the center of the basketball game and struggling to achieve good results, but there is no need to be too sad, and the evergreen pine trees will gradually grow old, let alone an athlete.
As long as the basketball stars of the past can pass on their valuable training experience and game experience to the next generation, there is hope for Chinese basketball.
