In March last year, the wife of Zhang Long, the then leader of the Chinese women’s basketball team, broke the news on social media that Li Meng was the mistress who interfered in her marriage with her husband. The two had been having an affair as early as 2022, and Li Meng also sent Zhang Long Large scale photos.
Even though Zhang Long’s wife once sent a private message to Li Meng, the latter still pestered Zhang Long. In the end, Zhang Long abandoned his wife and son and chose to divorce and be with Li Meng. Because Zhang Long did not pay child support, he was also criticized by his wife. exposure. As soon as this incident came out, Li Meng, as a core player of the Chinese women's basketball team, was at the forefront of public opinion.
I thought that the abnormal relationship between Li Meng and Zhang Long would break up, but I didn't expect that they are still together, and their relationship has been elevated from a life partner to a business partner. According to media person Fu Zhenghao, Li Meng and Zhang Long jointly registered two companies this year, one is called "Chengdu Spruite Advertising Media Co., Ltd." and the other is called "Chengdu Lemeng Holler Sports Culture Development Co., Ltd. Company", the reason why they did this should be to restore Li Meng's commercial value and create a new business map.
Fans had almost forgotten about the "unfortunate relationship" between Li Meng and Zhang Long, but with this high-profile registration of the company, there is no doubt that Li Meng will face great pressure from public opinion, which is very important for China, which is currently preparing for the Paris Olympics. Women's basketball is indeed not good news.
Due to injuries, Li Meng did not participate in a series of warm-up matches for the Chinese women's basketball team this summer. Although she has recently returned to the team, considering the long absence from the team, if negative public opinions about her are fermented again, it will indeed affect her. In terms of performance in the Olympics, the Chinese women's basketball team may also be unable to achieve ideal results due to her sluggish performance.
If it weren’t for Li Meng, Zhang Long might never be known to everyone. Although he was once the leader of the women’s basketball team, his ex-wife revealed that he couldn’t even afford 30,000 yuan in alimony, so he followed Li this time. Meng founded two companies at once, and netizens speculated that he was "eating on soft rice". Some people even bluntly said: He must be cheating Li Meng's money.
For Li Meng, although the label "mistress" did make her a little embarrassed, she still proved herself on the court, especially when the scandal was exposed last year, it did not affect her later. Going to wnba did not affect her ability to secure her main rotation position with the Washington Mystics, and she also performed well when she returned to the national team and league.
However, in this year's Paris Olympics, if Li Meng's condition is not ideal, and the Chinese women's basketball team has not achieved the results it deserves, Li Meng will once again be at the forefront of public opinion.
