On May 18, Beijing time, the WNBA Los Angeles Sparks suddenly announced that they would cut guard Yang Liwei, which means that the backcourt core of the Chinese women's basketball team only performed in the WNBA preseason for 15 minutes and left in a hurry, and then many authoritative media announced that the reason was because the Asian Cup results determined the Paris Olympic Games, resulting in the importance of the June game. Yang Liwei responded to the call as soon as possible and resolutely returned to China.
However, although the result of being cut and leaving the team is the same, there is actually a fundamental difference, which also shows that Yang Liwei, who has a contract, did not receive any retention or agreed return date from the team after indicating his position of returning to the national team, but directly ended with the spark team.
It is worth mentioning that Han Xu, who plays for the WNBA New York Liberty, once said in an interview that every guard here will not be afraid of you because you are tall, they are super competitive. It is not difficult to see that unless there is extraordinary strength, it is difficult for the WNBA to do special affairs, and in a competitive environment, this is the direct reason why Yang Liwei was cut by the team.
At present, in addition to Yang Liwei, the basketball association also proposed that Li Meng and Han Xu return to China to play, the latter two are still negotiating with the team, but in fact, the best way is for the basketball association to assist from it, explain some specific details such as the return cycle with the opposing team, and help several stars do a good job of handover, perhaps to avoid Yang Liwei's ending, and hope that the basketball association will provide them with support as much as possible, after all, the training obtained on the highest platform will eventually give back to the national team.
