Li Yueru, the new core of the Chinese women's basketball team, especially last year's appearance on the international stages such as the Olympic Games and the World Preliminary Tournament, brought her to the attention of the WNBA. Recently, the WNBA championship team Chicago Sky provided Li Yueru with a rookie contract, Li Yueru is also very eager to go to a higher stage to continue to grow, just when fans are happy for Li Yueru and the Chinese women's basketball team, the Chinese Basketball Association has rejected Li Yueru's plan to go to the United States.
Li Yueru's performance in recent years is obvious to all, in the domestic league, Li Yueru has helped the Inner Mongolia women's basketball team win the WCBA championship in the past two seasons. In the international arena, the Asian Cup, the Olympic Games, the World Preliminary Tournament, Li Yueru has a very outstanding performance, fans are also sighing, Li Yueru is time to go to a higher stage to develop. At this time, the Chicago Sky, a WNBA champion team, offered Li Yueru a rookie contract. In the face of such an opportunity, Li Yueru is also quite excited, the first time to send a text to thank the Chinese Basketball Association, but things did not develop in the direction of everyone's expectations, the Chinese Basketball Association ruthlessly refused Li Yueru's opportunity to play in the United States.
For a time, this matter caused an uproar on the Internet, as the chairman of the Chinese Basketball Association, Yao Ming was complained by many fans about this matter, after all, as a former NBA player, he should better understand the mood of the players eager to play in the United States, but he did not play an active role in Li Yueru's incident of playing in the United States, but prevented Li Yueru's departure, even if Li Yueru said that he would not miss any training and events of the Chinese women's basketball team, the Basketball Association has always been indifferent, which makes the fans very angry.
In fact, the reason why the Chinese Basketball Association rejected Li Yueru's request to play in the United States this time is largely because the Chinese women's basketball team has more international competitions this year, both the Hangzhou Asian Games and the Women's Basketball World Cup, especially the Women's Basketball World Cup, which is very important to the Chinese women's basketball team, and the Chinese women's basketball team is eager to achieve a good ranking through this event. In addition, there is another important reason, that is, the impact of the global epidemic, playing in the United States can not protect Li Yueru's health. At the same time, although Li Yueru expressed that she would not miss any Chinese women's basketball tournaments, the back-and-forth isolation made it difficult to guarantee the state of athletes, which was also a problem considered by the Chinese Basketball Association.
In the face of the cruel refusal of the Chinese Basketball Association, Li Yueru was not discouraged, and she was very optimistic to persuade fans not to over-interpret the matter. At the same time, Li Yueru also said that he is still young and will have such opportunities in the future. As a fan, although I feel very sorry, but I can't do anything, I hope that Li Yueru will have more and better opportunities after that, come on, the Chinese women's basketball team.
