With Xu Limin stepping down as the coach of the Chinese women's basketball team, the Chinese women's basketball team has entered a stage of alternating between the old and the new. After the veteran Shao Ting faded out of the national team, a batch of fresh blood began to inject into the Chinese women's basketball team. This includes Yang Shuyu, a young young general after 00...
For many veteran basketball fans, Yang Shuyu's name may not be unfamiliar. Her sister Yang Liwei is an active "national brand" player and an absolute main member of the Chinese women's basketball team. Yang Shuyu was called into the Chinese national team this time, so that the Chinese women's basketball team has a pair of "sister flowers" combination.
The last "sister flower" combination of the Chinese women's basketball team also traced back to Zhang Yu and Zhang Wei during the 08 Olympic Games. As twins, Zhang Yu and Zhang Wei not only look exactly like one person, but also are both national players who can shoot and pass and score with diverse scoring methods. During the 2008 Olympic Games, the two were both selected for the national team, becoming the most beautiful pair of "sister flowers" that bloomed on the field of wukesong basketball hall.
Yang Shuyu, born in 2002, was selected for the three-person basketball program of the Chinese team at the Tokyo Olympic Games in July 2021. In the three-person basketball women's event at the Tokyo Olympic Games, together with Zhang Zhiting, Wan Jiyuan and Wang Lili, the Chinese delegation won the bronze medal in the women's three-person basketball competition in a historic way; in September of the same year, Yang Shuyu won the gold medal in the women's basketball women's adult group of the 14th National Games with the Olympic team.
Yang Shuyu, who is born in 00, is 7 years younger than his sister Yang Liwei. Yang Shuyu played small and watched his sister play on the sidelines, and his sister grew step by step, which made Yang Shuyu very admired and envied. "In fact, when my sister was still playing in the club, I thought that I would also play and fight side by side with my sister, and there would be such a goal in the family." Yang Shuyu said.
Today, the 20-year-old Yang Shuyu has achieved his childhood goals, officially selected for the Chinese women's basketball national team, and accompanied the team to the World Preliminary Tournament. Although the young Yang Shuyu failed to make it to the team's 12-man squad in World Cup II before the World Cup, she was not discouraged by this. She wrote on Weibo: "The Chinese women's basketball team is the best! Rookie first experience, the learning process is also part of the experience, invite everyone to continue to pay more attention to the Chinese women's basketball team! ”。
Today, the Chinese women's basketball team has won two consecutive victories in the World Preliminary Round, locking in the World Cup in the early round. In the final battle of the group stage, Yang Shuyu is likely to appear on the stage and "fight side by side" with his sister Yang Liwei, so let us look forward to the bloom of this pair of "sister flowers" on the same stage...
