The 24-year-old women's basketball ace Li Yueru played in the Turkish League this season, joined Besiktas, mainly played in the Turkish Super League and the UEFA Cup, and Li Yueru, who played in the European League for the first time, quickly adapted, despite the injury during the period, Li Yueru has become Besiktas's thigh-level figure, scoring 20+ points in 6 consecutive games, becoming a key figure affecting the team's victory or defeat.
In Besiktas's game against Aiden women's basketball team, Li Yueru played the whole 40 minutes, shooting 7-of-10 and scoring 20 points, 13 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal. This is enough to reflect Li Yueru's status in the team, and she has become an indispensable part of Besiktas.
You must know that the overall level of the Turkish Super League is not bad, this platform has many players with WNBA backgrounds, and the league is competitive enough, and it is precisely because of this that Li Yueru will come here to practice and exercise. Originally, Li Yueru played in the domestic WCBA and won three championships, this season Li Yueru had the opportunity to return to the Dongguan women's basketball team and sign a big contract with an annual salary of more than 2 million, but in the end she chose to refuse, because Li Yueru was eager to improve herself, and Li Yueru, who thought that the WCBA had nothing to challenge, gave up her high domestic salary and chose to play in the Turkish league.
At present, Li Yueru's training purpose has been achieved, and because she has scored more than 20 points in a row, she has attracted the attention of many WCBA teams, and these teams want to get Li Yueru. It is worth mentioning that Li Yueru is still saddled with a WNBA contract at this stage, and she still has an unfinished contract with the Chicago Sky, so other WNBA teams need to trade if they want to get Li Yueru.
Li Yueru has played in the WNBA for the past two years, but she has not played much, especially in 2023, Li Yueru suffered a knee injury, resulting in not playing once in the WNBA.
And in the end, Li Yueru did it, and she proved that she can also be a top interior player in the European league, proving that she can play a more important role in the WNBA. If Li Yueru can continue to make progress, it will be a great thing for the Chinese women's basketball team, Li Yueru and Han Xu, the two excellent insiders, are the key to the Chinese women's basketball team to maintain its strength, and it is also the biggest guarantee for the Chinese women's basketball team to hit the Paris Olympic medals.
In the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, the Chinese women's basketball team unfortunately won the 5th place, when Li Yueru cried and shed tears on the scene, this time in the Paris Olympics, I believe that Li Yueru will not want to taste the taste of tears again, and she will become stronger She naturally wants to help the national team win medals!
