The reversal came so quickly that the Beijing media only said the last week that 33-year-old Liu Xiaoyu was expected to renew his contract.
Recently, Song Xiang, a well-known domestic basketball journalist who has always been very reliable, revealed that Beijing Shougang tends not to implement Liu Xiaoyu's team option next season.

Liu Xiaoyu was absent from the intensive training held by Shougang on the 23rd, and everything seemed to be making clear the fact that he had left the team.
Super Terminator Wang Xiaohui is also absent from training, but because he is in quarantine, he will return to the team in a few days.
Since the beginning of 17 years, Liu Xiaoyu began to play in Shougang, a full 5 years, and now it is scattered, can only say that this year's playoffs were eliminated by the Jilin team in the first round is too injured, directly leading to the team to start the road to rebuild.
Not to mention Liu Xiaoyu, there will be a large number of people who will have to be forced to carry buckets and run, and veterans may become the first targets to be purged.
Speaking of Liu Xiaoyu, it may be a mistake to play in Shougang, so many years to honor no honor, to data no data, the average score per game has never been in doubles, at most the salary is better.
For example, in the Hongyuan expedition for 9 seasons (06-15), he won 5 championships; in Shanghai, he played two seasons (15-17), averaging all points in double figures and being selected as an All-Star for two consecutive years.
In the 15-year game against Guangsha, he threw 11 three-pointers in a single game and fired 44 points, setting a new two career highs!
However, the passage of time is not human, and this handsome man, who has been pinned high hopes on and traveled to the three prosperous cities of China in the north, Shanghai, guangzhou, and Guangzhou, has finally embarked on the train to an unknown direction again.
Of course, with the comprehensive data of averaging 8.7 points per game last season, 2.9 boards and 5.2 assists, Liu Xiaoyu is easy to re-employment in other teams, I believe that many clubs have thrown olive branches, and the suspense lies in where to go?
Talking about some things off the field, it is well known that Liu Xiaoyu and Ah Dian were once representatives of the CBA's appearance, harvesting countless female fans, as long as a touch of the ball will usher in the screams of the whole field, you can refer to the current Hu Mingxuan.
And Liu Xiaoyu's most enviable place is to find a girlfriend's vision, the ex-girlfriend was indeed a special thing in the world when she was young, the angel face devil figure, the two appeared at the same time is a beautiful landscape.
The two have peacefully broken up a long time ago and have been at peace in recent years.
But at the end of January this year, this heroine suddenly Aite our big brother UAE account, the rhetoric is very fierce, as if subjected to great grievances, the content of the reply to netizens is full of information.
The heart of gossip ignited instantly, but it still stopped, the previous things really did not need to get the current fried cold rice, and there was no evidence, it was all unfounded anecdotal rumors.
Also do not recognize the heroine's approach, the UAE has married and had children, and also engaged in this play, which can easily affect the happy and happy family life of others.
Finally, to mention Liu Xiaoyu's national team career, it is very sad and unfortunate, experiencing almost all the dark moments of the Chinese men's basketball team in the past decade.
The most representative is the defeat to Chinese Taipei in the quarterfinals of the 2013 Asian Championships in Manila, and the 5th place at the Incheon Asian Games in 2014...
In the 15 years of the Chinese men's basketball team began to revive the stage, Liu Xiaoyu rarely wore the national team jersey to appear, and had no chance to enjoy the taste of returning to glory.
But Liu Xiaoyu and the members of the Chinese men's basketball team in those years can not be ignored, if they do not insist on carrying the weight forward, the dawn may not be so fast and easy to pierce the darkness!
