As the absolute core, Han Xu helped the Chinese women's basketball team stand on the top of Asia. She was named to the All-NBA team and won the MVP. She is the ace of this women's basketball team, with a steady output in every game and a strong dominance of both the offensive and defensive ends. Her role is equivalent to Yao Ming of the peak men's basketball team, and one person can support a tactical system.
But Yao Ming encountered a very painful thing that happened, no matter how big or small, the basketball association liked to recruit him back. This approach is also a major reason for the shortness of his career. Although the Rockets coach's overuse of the main force was the root cause of Yao's early end to his career. But the basketball association also has an unshirkable responsibility in this process.
Fans don't want to see other national players encounter the same thing as Yao Ming. After Han Xu played the Asian Cup, the teammates of the New York Liberty immediately congratulated her, and then shouted for her to return to the team as soon as possible. It can be seen that the teammates like this big player from China very much.
Being able to play in the WNBA is a good opportunity for Han Xu to improve his strength. But what people didn't expect was that Han Xu would have to participate in the Universiade held in Chengdu next. In other words, for a month, she took a leave of absence from the team and flew to Australia for the Asian Cup.
After the event, return to New York. But at the end of the month, I had to take leave to fly to Chengdu again, and it was a university sports day. To win glory for the country, Han Xu is naturally obliged. I believe that this is true of every player. But in the meantime, there is one problem that the basketball association may not have considered. Han Xu is in the WNBA and is currently only a rotation player.
She hasn't really established herself in the league yet. He frequently takes time off work and still participates in events such as the Universiade. This is likely to cause dissatisfaction among the team manager, which is not conducive to Han Xu's future development. And then again, after the Asian Cup, she should be allowed to take a good rest, and the Universiade will be left for young people around 20 years old to experience.
I hope that the basketball association can protect Han Xu, how the Universiade results are not the key, training young players and protecting the core is a more important thing. Competitive sports focus on process, not end result. Can't let Han Xu be too tired, frequent long-distance travel, it is easy to increase injury problems.
The decision of the basketball association caused dissatisfaction among most fans. Although Han Xu had no complaints, it was indeed a little unfair to her. Yao Ming's case is in front of us, only a Han Xu has been produced for decades, we should protect more, rather than having ace players, you can squander it wantonly. For the sake of career development, for health considerations, such a decision should be abandoned!
