She led the China women's basketball team to the Olympic Games and won silver medals at the 1992 Olympic Games and the 1994 World Championships!

Finally, she married Xu Qinghua, a fan who admired her at first, but 1 1 years passed and no child was born.

Are they happy now?

1967 Zheng was born in an ordinary rural area. She comes from a peasant family in Zhecheng County, Shangqiu.

Her father named her "Hai Xia", hoping that her life would be as bright as the blue ocean. Since then, Zheng's life is doomed to be "extraordinary".

With the passage of time, my father gradually discovered that Zheng's "extraordinary" is that her height is indeed much higher than that of girls of the same age, even faster than that of her brothers and sisters. By junior high school, Zheng's height has reached 1.72 meters. You should know that junior high school boys can only have this height after graduation.

However, the height of Zheng Dui is still "infinite expansion". In the face of her "long body", her father didn't think he was a freak, but tried his best to provide her with more nutritious food so that Zheng didn't go hungry during his growth.

But at the same time, the father also thought about how to deal with his daughter's height. After careful consideration, he decided to send her to a sports school to play basketball and give full play to Zheng's "outstanding talent". Sure enough, the sports school soon took a fancy to this burly girl.

After arriving at the sports school, Zheng continued to grow taller and she gradually showed a high degree of enthusiasm for basketball. Every time she runs back and forth on the court, she won't feel tired, because she enjoys this hearty feeling.

Even if her feet are too big to wear such big basketball shoes, she can only walk barefoot.

Soon, her performance in the sports school was seen by the head coach of the army "Bayi Women's Basketball Team". After graduation, 1982 was selected for the Wuhan Army women's basketball team, and she lived a life of being a soldier.

In the same year, with excellent skills and a height of 2.06 meters, she was selected for the China Women's Youth Basketball Team, participated in the Asian Championship and the Asian Youth Basketball Championship, which shocked the audience and was "besieged on all sides" on the court. Soon after, she was selected by the national team and entered the training camp.

This year, Zheng Cai 16 years old. As a young girl, she still maintains great enthusiasm on the court. Later, this girl became the pillar of the whole national team, and all the attacks were centered on her and involved tactics.

1984 Zheng led the national team to participate in the Los Angeles Olympic Games. Throughout the Olympic Games, she won the bronze medal for China with a terrible shooting percentage of 56%!

Zheng tried to win the chase and didn't relax. Two years later, at the World Championships, she swept again, including the best athlete and the best center in one fell swoop. It can be said that in the 1980s and 1990s, among Asian women's centers, Zheng existed as a god and enjoyed the reputation of "the first women's center in Asia".

Because she has an overwhelming height, but this height has also become her "hard injury." Long-term intensive training and competition have caused various problems in Zheng's knees and joints.

Even so, Zheng was injured at the Atlanta Olympic Games 1996, hoping to bring better results to the country.

Unfortunately, Zheng eventually lost to physical illness and the traces of years brought by growing age, and Zheng couldn't keep up with the fast-paced confrontation on the field, and finally 1996 Olympic Games came to an abrupt end.

Suddenly all around are asking:

But Zheng still firmly continues to play the role she should play on the basketball court. She believes that being yourself is the most important thing!

She still keeps training every day, hoping to adjust her condition to the best.

It is hard to imagine that the sweat paid in training is what a girl must bear.

Don't forget that Zheng is a girl! As a girl, it is not easy to bear the pressure of injury and training.

Privately, Zheng still likes some flowers and plants. As long as it is something that a girl likes, she likes it very much. It seems that there is a little girl living in my heart.

And this little girl is also eager for the nourishment of love.

A boy is eagerly looking forward to hearing from a girl in the distance. He is Zheng's first lover.

Zheng didn't tell everyone the boy's name, but talked about the past lightly.

Zheng proudly said that her first boyfriend was four centimeters taller than him, that is, so tall, but Zheng was satisfied.

At that time, there were no instant messaging software such as WeChat and QQ, so we could only use "letter" to fall in love. Although it is not as slow as flying pigeons passing books, it is slow enough. Every week, Zheng is most looking forward to receiving the boy's reply.

But long-distance love can't go far after all, and it must be trained in the field for a long time. The practice of the national team made Zheng burn at both ends. In the end, the two were only together for two years, and the man proposed to break up. Both of them are basketball players, and they can still be friends after breaking up, but it's really wonderful to be in love. Whenever I think of this story, Zheng will look into the distance, which is meaningful.

After breaking up, Zheng tried to hold back his feelings and wanted to continue to prove that he was not defeated by injuries on the basketball court. 1997, she received an invitation letter from the Los Angeles Sparks team, so she announced that she would go to Los Angeles to show her skills.

Zheng, on the east coast of the Pacific Ocean, broke the gossip. All this Xu Qinghua silently picked up a pen and recorded it.

During the two years that Zheng joined the Los Angeles Sparks team, he contributed a lot of data. In the first year, he played 28 games, including 27 starts, with a total score of 259 points. He is a very capable center and won the first "Best Style Award" in WNBA.

Unfortunately, in the second year, Zheng finally lost to her worsening leg and waist injuries, and she announced her retirement and returned to China.

After returning home, Zheng is still active in the domestic basketball circle, but there is always a piece missing in her heart. In addition to her family, she works hard all the year round and desperately wants someone to accompany her all her life.

At this time, fate is so magical, and love comes so suddenly. Under the moon, the old man descended to earth, and Cupid's naughty arrow shot at Zheng.

At first, Zheng ignored love. After all, there were too many people to pursue at that time, and she couldn't finish it. But she gradually found that good men are really hard to find, and many of them can't meet Zheng's requirements. Just a little higher than her is already a difficult threshold, so she "wronged herself" and "relaxed" the conditions of "choosing a spouse" to more than 180 cm.

The name Xu Qinghua appeared in Zheng's field of vision, so Zheng took the initiative to reply, hoping to get her contact information and mobile phone number, and their love began.

Like the previous relationship, Zheng is also a long-distance relationship, but this time it is even more amazing, because she didn't even see herself, so she just sent a short message on her mobile phone.

It can be said that Zheng was the first pioneer in carrying out "online dating", and the two could know each other's current situation more quickly through mobile phones than through letters. Chatting can be said to be very speculative.

A girl like Zheng is very unique. Because he is a fan himself, his story about Zheng can be said to be "like a few treasures." Besides, as a basketball player, he gradually won the heart of a "beauty".

Xu Qinghua's courtship style is very special. As the saying goes, couples are most afraid of nothing to say.

As a result, Xu Qinghua began to "do whatever it takes". He went to the newsstand to read the essays in the newspaper. He went to the library to study the routines of love novels, "extracted" the sentences that he felt were not bad, edited them and sent them to Zheng by SMS. This is Xu Qinghua's simplest and most direct "courtship way"-sending short messages to express his feelings.

But they can't keep "online dating" and they meet.

When we first met, I suddenly felt a little nervous when I saw Zheng grow so tall. He is really taller than expected, and he can't talk. His hands were sweating, but looking back at Zheng's expression, he found it impossible. I think Zheng doesn't like him.

But on the date that day, they talked for four hours, which made Xu Qinghua feel that there was still a chance. After returning home, he "pursued" the girl and vowed to catch up with her.

She began to befriend and said that she was from Henan and was a "fellow villager" with Zheng. When the fellow villagers met the fellow villagers, they were very kind and said that they were from the Shenzhen office of Pingdingshan, Henan Province, which immediately narrowed the distance between them.

Another year passed and they were deeply attached to each other. It has gradually penetrated into Zheng's heart, and Zheng's heart has been completely "raiders".

The two finally entered the marriage hall. They walked into the auditorium hand in hand and exchanged vows of love.

On June 9th, 20 10, Xu Qinghua, a fan of Zheng He's secret love for many years, got married.

Zheng:

Xu Qinghua:

And married life is so ordinary.

Although "marriage is the graveyard of love", they still love each other very much.

Such time are 1 1 year and 202 1 year.

Someone asked Zheng why he didn't have a "super baby". After all, he is so tall, and her husband is a basketball player. The child born must be tall and strong.

Zheng simply said that when she got married, her body could no longer bear the pressure brought by her children.

In addition, if you take responsibility for your child after giving birth, your body may not be able to bear it. If children are forced to have children, they will be healthy. If it is unhealthy, it is even more sorry for the children!

As for married life, the couple did not talk about it, but smiled sweetly. They once said in the program that they often tinkered with the little things in life and had to adapt to the "militarization" routine that Zheng accepted since childhood. He joked that he was like a "player" in Zheng Li and would always obey his wife's discipline, but from his tone, he could know that it was as sweet as cucumber.

At the same time, I also accompanied Zheng to "go up the mountain and go to sea". After completely retiring, Zheng took over as the head coach of the women's basketball team to 20 19. Her husband has always been her strongest backing and selfless dedication, just like the little fan at the beginning, and he is a lovely follower of Zheng.

Xu Qinghua once said:

It is this selflessness that makes Zheng develop basketball career carefree and finally win the highest honor.

202 1 Zheng was selected as the supreme FIBA Global Hall of Fame player for basketball players.

But even after retiring, she still does not forget the training of the domestic women's basketball team. She took an active part in the training and wanted to pass on her experience to the younger generation. After all, she has participated in four consecutive Olympic Games, and her experience is very rare.

Both career and love are worthy of pride. Zheng demonstrated what is called "Life Victory Group". Although there are no children after marriage, living a good husband and wife life is one of the best explanations for life!

As China's first book of poems, The Book of Songs, said:
