[Dapeng Yi has a big tree - a life legend written to basketball superstar Yi Jianlian]
Bang bang! That's the sound of hitting a basketball. Yi Jianlian sweated like rain on a small court in Heshan, Guangdong Province in his early years, and no one thought that this little boy born in 1987 would become a legendary superstar in Chinese basketball in the future.
Yi's father and mother are both handball players, and Yi Jianlian has been cultivated with extraordinary athletic talent since he was a child. At the age of 12, he was already 1.94 meters tall, surpassing his peers. His outstanding height and athletic physique make him comfortable on the court.
In 2002, Yi Jianlian participated in the Beijing training camp at the age of 13 and won the MVP of the youth group in one fell swoop. His high standard of performance attracted attention and he was soon recommended to study in the United States. In this way, this child, who was born in a small town in the Pearl River Delta, embarked on a journey to the NBA dream.
However, Yi Jianlian's NBA road back then was not smooth. After being drafted by the Bucks in 2007, he struggled with injuries with the Green Shirts and failed to make his mark. In the end, he chose to start afresh and return to the arena in his home country.
Back in the CBA, Yi Jianlian soon regained his former combat effectiveness. The Guangdong team he played for almost monopolized the league championship during this period and can be called a "dynasty" team. Yi Jianlian also won three finals MVP and seven championships.
At the same time, Yi Jianlian's private life has gradually been exposed to the public. In September 2014, he suddenly announced on social media that he had become a father and welcomed the birth of his beloved son.
Yi Jianlian's wife is named Jing Ling, two years younger than him, a girl from a small town in Guangdong, and later a football baby for the Brazilian national team. The two met in 2012 and were introduced by a friend, and it was love at first sight and they soon came together.
A year and a half later, Yi Jianlian added another son to his family, and there were many happy events. The birth of two sons turned the early lovers into a complete family of four. You see, the child who sweated the small court back then has now become a father.
But the easy days didn't last long. In August 2023, Yi Jianlian officially announced his retirement and left the basketball arena he dreamed of and struggled for 21 years. It has aroused heated discussions in public opinion.
Some netizens said that they felt very reluctant and sorry to see such a brilliant basketball career come to an end. Some fans also think that Yi Jianlian could have gone further in the NBA back then, but in the end he chose to return to China for development, which is a pity.
However, more people expressed their admiration and blessings to Yi Jianlian. First, he wrote his basketball dream on a small green court with hard work and sweat, and then achieved the pinnacle of his career with tenacity and perseverance, and finally chose to retire for the sake of family and responsibility. A legendary life has reached a new stage in this way.
Today, Yi Jianlian's family has all moved to Los Angeles, USA, where they have purchased their new home. Although he is in a foreign country, his daily life and diet still retain Chinese habits. Some passers-by once met Yi Jianlian's family in the local area, and they seemed to be happy and happy.
From a little boy to a superstar player, from a bachelor to a happy husband, Yi Jianlian has devoted himself wholeheartedly and done his best along the way. He used his life legend to interpret the truth of "Dapeng is easy to have a big tree" - as long as you stick to your dreams and never give up, you will one day be able to spread your wings and fly high in the vast world of life.
Dapeng soars into the sky, and the road ahead is worth looking forward to
A new chapter in Yi Jianlian's life has just begun. Although retirement means saying goodbye to his career, the future is endless for the 35-year-old basketball superstar who is in the prime of his life.
There are many people who speculate that Yi Jianlian retired this time to concentrate on his business career. In fact, as early as late in his career, he was slowly preparing for life after retirement.
Yi Jianlian has successively invested in projects in many fields such as catering and sports training, and his personal worth has long been not small. It is widely expected that he is most likely to do a big job in the future in the field of sports training.
After all, Yi Jianlian grew up in the training camp since he was a child, and he has a deep understanding of the importance of youth training. And he himself has always been fond of cultivating younger generations, and once said when he left the Lakers that he would devote himself to discovering and cultivating more basketball talents for China.
Now, with his retirement, Yi Jianlian finally has more time and energy to put his long-cherished wish into practice. According to previous media revelations, he plans to open his own basketball training camp in the United States to provide professional guidance for local Chinese teenagers.
However, it is not easy to do well in this area. After all, the basketball youth training career around the world is quite mature and professional. If Yi Jianlian wants to get a piece of the pie, it must have a unique business philosophy and model innovation.
However, judging from Yi Jianlian's personality of hard work and self-improvement in the past, he must be able to bring new vitality to this field. Fans have said that although they regret not seeing their idol on the field, they are looking forward to him shining in a new field of his career.
In addition to career development, what is more important after Yi Jianlian's retirement is to enjoy life. For so many years, he has been busy running around the ring and fighting, and he has little free time.
Now I can finally rest and relax and spend time with my family. Yi Jianlian's wife, Jing Ling, is also from a sports family, and she must be able to understand her husband's past hardships and give him full understanding and support.
The two lovely sons are Yi Jianlian's greatest pride and the biggest motivation for him to work hard. As his sons grew up, Yi Jianlian gradually shifted from the focus of his career to the focus of his family life.
Many people have had a misunderstanding about Yi Jianlian, thinking that he is a silent person. In fact, in the description of friends and family, he is a humorous, optimistic and cheerful big boy.
Now that I have more personal time, I believe that Yi Jianlian will cultivate more common hobbies with his family, and do things that have not been available before, such as traveling the world, hiking, etc., to live a happier and more comfortable life.
From the small court to the greenery, from the field to the career, from single to wife, Yi Jianlian has maintained his highest enthusiasm and focus all the way. I believe that as long as the flame of his dream is not extinguished, he will be able to continue to write a wonderful legend on the new journey of life.
Throughout Yi Jianlian's legendary life, he used his tenacious struggle and tenacious efforts to interpret the profound philosophy of "Dapeng is easy to have a big tree". from an unknown boy to a basketball superstar who has attracted national attention; From encountering setbacks and difficulties, to bravely climbing peaks and starting anew; From the proud achievements of the career, to the choice of family and responsibility.
Yi Jianlian has come to this day step by step with his solid feet, brave dream-chasing heart and pure pure heart.
Now, he will turn a new page in his life. Although he has left the familiar court, his basketball dream will surely continue to be wonderful on the new career stage.
Whether it is devoting himself to the cause of sports training or enjoying a happy family life, I believe that as long as the torch of dreams is not extinguished, Yi Jianlian will continue to write his own legendary life. I wish this never-say-die basketball warrior to climb the peak on the new journey and live a wonderful and blooming life!
