Perfect shape
If Yang Ming gives people the feeling of being sunny and cheerful, then Gong Xiaobin's handsomeness is more aggressive.
His height of just over two meters has laid a good foundation in itself, and the delicate and smooth face shape adds a bit of charm to him.
The sword eyebrows and starry eyes and the tall nose bridge matched the unique vigor of the young people at that time.
made Gong Xiaobin attract everyone's attention as soon as he appeared on the field.
But if he only has a handsome appearance, it is obviously not enough to make Gong Xiaobin famous, and what is even more rare for him is that basketball skill.
The agile and agile figure on the field left a deep impression on Gong Xiaobin in the hearts of countless fans.
In fact, Gong Xiaobin did not enter the basketball industry by accident, on the contrary, he was born into an excellent basketball family.
His parents, Gong Yipeng and Gao Qinfang, are both famous basketball players in Shandong.
It is also inherited from his parents' excellent genes that Gong Xiaobin has grown taller than his peers since he was a child, and his figure is extremely suitable for playing basketball.
His parents wanted to raise their children in the direction of basketball as well.
But Gong Xiaobin was inexplicably rebellious, and secretly signed up for the school's football team selection behind his parents' back, and he was really selected.
So, from the age of 13 to 17, Gong Xiaobin has been running on the football field.
Only in his spare time will he accompany his parents to play basketball.
It's just that when he was 17 years old, Gong Xiaobin grew to more than 1.9 meters tall at that time, and he was no longer suitable for football.
And he finally realized his true strengths
He turned his head and signed up for the selection of the provincial basketball youth team and began to practice basketball skills.
In 1987, Gong Xiaobin successfully entered the first team of Shandong men's basketball team and was selected for the national youth team at the same time.
He can make such rapid progress, and naturally it is inseparable from the serious cultivation of his parents.
After only two years of training, Gong Xiaobin has the ability to play in the National Basketball League.
With his handsome appearance and excellent individual performance on the field.
As soon as Gong Xiaobin finished the game, he became the most talked-about young player nowadays.
However, just when Gong Xiaobin was shunfeng, an incident happened that caused him a lot of blows.
Accumulate steadily
In 1989, Gong Xiaobin's father, Gong Yipeng, then the head coach of the Shandong men's basketball team, changed jobs for some reason.
This had a great impact on Gong Xiaobin.
But the depressed mental state did not make him choose to give up, but added more motivation for his next training.
Gong Xiaobin wants to prove that his psychology is getting stronger, and his offense on the court is more ferocious.
In the same year, Gong Xiaobin participated in the Asian Championships for the first time as a Chinese team.
With the perfect cooperation of him and his teammates, the Chinese men's basketball team successfully won the championship in this competition.
As a result, in the next 12 years, Gong Xiaobin appeared on the court of the Asian Championships 7 times.
Helped the team win the championship trophy six times.
His unique moves and handsome posture during the game have become an indelible scenery in the hearts of countless fans.
And Wang Zhizhi, who joined the national team later, was even more impressed by his skills and often talked to him in private.
In 1990, Gong Xiaobin, who was in the limelight, got acquainted with Li Xin, a national player in the women's basketball team.
At that time, Li Xin was naturally the same as Gong Xiaobin, a newcomer to the women's basketball team who trained the court every day.
The continental men's and women's basketball teams often train on the same court, so the players also know each other.
At that time, Li Xin was young and hearty, and what was hidden under her delicate face was ambitious, and her movements were always the most standard when training.
As a result, two young people who appreciate each other gradually ignite the fire of love in the slightly boring training life day after day.
The team stipulates that young people are forbidden to fall in love, but they agree openly, but they still get along sweetly in private.
And the subsequent ups and downs strengthened the determination of the two to stick together.
In 1991, Gong Yipeng went to Beijing to visit his son, and Li Xin offered to meet her boyfriend's father.
But due to various reasons, Li Xin failed to return to the team on time and was two hours late.
She refused to listen to the coach's criticism for review, feeling that she was late due to the special situation and refused to give in.
As a result, Li Yaguang, who was the head coach of the women's basketball team at the time, did not hesitate to expel Li Xin from the national team.
In the months that followed, Li Xin became more calm and finally realized his problem.
took the initiative to apologize to Li Yaguang and admit his mistakes, and returned to the national team soon after.
Li Xin's career is not going well here, and Gong Xiaobin is not much better.
He was interviewed by the coach many times, hoping that he would take the initiative to end the relationship.
But Gong Xiaobin thinks he is responsible, how can he bear to hurt his beloved girl?
In desperation, men's basketball coach Jiang Xingquan could only temporarily transfer him out of the national team.
Later, it was Yang Boyong, director of the Basketball Division of the General Administration of Sports of the People's Republic of China, who came forward to help Gong Xiaobin return to the national team.
After some twists and turns, the mentality of the two has changed a lot, and they cherish their feelings for each other more.
The coaches of both sides were helpless, and this relationship did not affect the basketball careers of the two, so they could only turn a blind eye.
At the 1994 Hiroshima Asian Games, Gong Xiaobin came off the bench at a critical moment.
Helped the national team turn the tide and win the championship.
And Li Xin also showed good strength in the Asian Championships and helped the Chinese women's basketball team win the runner-up.
With the passage of time, the relationship between him and Li Xin has also gained the support of more people.
But just when everything was going in a good direction, a violent quarrel broke out between the lovers.
Hearts change
Time and space are always an inevitable problem in love.
Under the increasingly tight schedule, there are only a handful of opportunities for the two to meet and date.
Li Xin complained that Gong Xiaobin didn't care about this relationship at all, but Gong Xiaobin felt that Li Xin had never considered himself.
Under the influence of such a depressed emotion.
Gong Xiaobin, who travels every day, soon met a considerate and empathetic flight attendant: Wang Xiaofang.
At that time, he was between two girls, and he couldn't make a rational decision at all.
But soon, an opportunity made him understand what he really wanted in his heart.
In 2000, Gong Xiaobin missed the Sydney Olympics due to conflicts with his coach.
Li Xin came to comfort him for the first time, but inevitably quarreled with him.
This contradiction made Gong Xiaobin realize that he and Li Xin were too similar.
He needs a more bird-friendly, gentle and sensible woman to be his wife, not the strong Li Xin.
As a result, this nine-year relationship ended in a breakup.
It didn't take long for Gong Xiaobin and Wang Xiaofang to enter the palace of marriage hand in hand.
A year after marriage, Wang Xiaofang gave birth to a son Gong Junqing for Gong Xiaobin.
In those years, Gong Xiaobin often participated in the CBA All-Star Game and set a number of records.
It is said that a man will be more stable when he has a family, and Gong Xiaobin, who was injured in a game, finally chose to return to his family.
He announced his retirement in 2003 and took the position of his father as the head coach of the Shandong men's basketball team.
Under the leadership of Gong Xiaobin, the Shandong men's basketball team, which was originally young, gradually got on the right track.
Because Gong Xiaobin is young, he has his own opinions on the selection and training of players.
Those arrogant men's basketball players are very obedient to Gong Xiaobin, as if they are extremely recognized by his coaching status.
But although Gong Xiaobin is very eager for the Shandong men's basketball team to rejuvenate under his hands, it still does not work well.
The so-called right track, the highest is only to win the runner-up trophy in the regular season.
Not only that, in the 2013 and 2014 seasons, due to various reasons, the Shandong men's basketball team did not participate in the playoffs.
This has to be a heavy blow to Gong Xiaobin's career.
He has always been a shining player on the basketball court, and his results are among the best.
In the face of the basketball team that can't be saved in the later stage, it is natural to say a pity.
Fortunately, Gong Juntong, the second son of Gong Xiaobin and Wang Xiaofang, inherited his father's sports genes and has been particularly interested in basketball since he was a child.
Gong Xiaobin naturally would not let his son's talent be buried, and sent him to the basketball training base for training since he was a child.
Today, although Gong Juntong is studying abroad, he is still the main member of the basketball team in the school.
In 2020, Gong Xiaobin became the president of the Shandong Basketball Association.
He served as head coach at the West Kings Men's Basketball Club for three years before stepping down at the age of 52.
However, the recent news of the rebuilding of the Shandong men's basketball team has prevailed, and the question of whether Gong Xiaobin will return has not yet been answered.
In his spare time, Gong Xiaobin likes to share his life status on online platforms.
On February 8 this year, he posted a news on the Internet, congratulating and wishing every doer all the best.
Many fans also congratulated him on a happy new year in the comment section.
epilogue
Regardless of whether Gong Xiaobin will return to the Shandong men's basketball team, his own achievements can never be ignored.
Presumably, if Gong Xiaobin looks back now, he should be extremely satisfied with the first half of his life.
