In this world, if you think that the 200-pound "Warcraft" can easily defeat all opponents, then you may need to re-examine the reality! Our women's basketball Olympic training list was recently released, which made everyone exclaim: Yes, our female version of O'Neal, Liu Yutong, the big devil, actually failed! This can't help but make people want to ask: What is going on?
Review the background. With the successful conclusion of the WCBA finals, the women's national basketball team ushered in an intense training preparation period. Everyone knows that the Paris Olympics are just around the corner, and this is the dream stage for every athlete. Therefore, when the official list was announced, even late at night, it immediately detonated a social media craze.
Players from Dongguan New Century, Sichuan Women's Basketball Team, and Inner Mongolia Women's Basketball Team account for almost half of the country. People saw familiar names: Han Xu, Li Meng, Yang Liwei, Li Yueru...... These are all well-known top players. But among all these names, one striking figure is missing - Liu Yutong.
Liu Yutong, our 200-pound demon king, is regarded by many people as a powerful force on the inside. Not only is she tall, but she is also very skilled, and she has helped the team win major championships on several occasions. However, the list of this training camp shows that she is not among them. On the contrary, two blue-collar interior players, Sun Mengran and Tang Yu, were selected for the opportunity. Although these two are not as dazzling as Liu Yutong in the starlight, they are the kind of "blue-collar warriors" who do everything.
Analysts generally believe that although Liu Yutong's attack power is amazing, his defensive performance is not stable. In the current tactical system of the national team, Li Yueru and Han Xu have fixed the main position. This means that even if Liu Yutong joins, the opportunities she can get are extremely limited. On the other hand, Sun Mengran and Tang Yu, although they may not be as good as Liu Yutong in scoring, they can better meet the needs of coaches in defense and scramble.
In a sense, this is a typical "pragmatic choice". The national team needs more than just individual heroes, but every member who can contribute to the team. And the selection of this list also proves to everyone a cruel truth: in the world of sports, sometimes even the brightest stars can be dim.
This makes us have to sigh that the world of sports is full of uncertainties. Today's protagonist may become a supporting character tomorrow. But that's also the beauty of sport – everyone has opportunities, challenges, and the potential to find their own light in the face of adversity.
Finally, for Liu Yutong's fans, although she did not enter the Olympic training list this time, her basketball career is far from over. I hope that she can work hard to improve herself in the next time, speak with strength, and prove her worth again. As for our women's basketball team, we expect them to show their best selves at the Paris Olympics and live up to expectations.
So, what do you think of the selection of the training camp list? Do you think Liu Yutong will have a chance to return to the national team? Welcome to leave your views and ideas, let's discuss together!
