Three years on, do you know how painful it has been to play with the opponents of the WCUBA Finals with the Beijing Normal University? They may fall more times in a game than in an entire year.
Not because the floor was slippery, but because they had to defend Against Liu Yutong's back punch.
Liu Yutong, nicknamed "female version" O'Neill, is 201CM tall and weighs 110KG.
It is reasonable to say that players with large weight generally have their own weaknesses, some lack of physical strength, some are too flexible, and some cannot project and shoot baskets. Coaching experienced coaches always identify these weaknesses of big-weight players and target them.
What can give CUBA coaches a headache is that Liu Yutong has almost no of the above shortcomings.
When he first entered the university league, the lack of physical strength was a defect that restricted Liu Yutong from going further. But with the continuous improvement of these two years, her physical strength has become better and better, and even sometimes played until the fourth quarter, the other nine players on the field were breathless, and she was able to hit the key ball steadily.
While having superhuman height and weight, she also has both a basket foot and a turn jump shot, so that defenders can only defend around the front to prevent her from catching the ball. Does such a situation remind you of Chairman Yao at that time?
Athletes with baskets, able to cope, good footsteps, finishing sticks, tall, heavy bodies, and good physical strength are almost born for basketball.
In the 2019 finals, Liu Yutong killed four parties as a newcomer, and cut 30 points and 16 rebounds, becoming famous in one battle;
In the 2020 finals, her data went further, and almost no one could stop her with 45 points and 9 boards in a single game, and it was also this year that she and Han Xu joined forces to win a gold medal in the women's group of the National Games for the Shandong Youth Women's Basketball Team;
In the 2021 Finals, Liu Yutong once again scored 33 points and 11 rebounds, helping the team to complete three consecutive championships.
More and more fans began to pay attention to this "female version of O'Neal", whose voice was so high that it even alarmed the big shark on the other side of the ocean, he praised and captioned after watching Liu Yutong's game highlights: "It's really good to play, it's really like me." ”
What is even more exciting is that there is a difference between the WOMEN's cuba and the men's group.
The gap between the CUBA women's group and the WCBA is not too big, so Liu Yutong, who has won the four sides in the college league, has also been successfully selected for the training list of the Chinese women's basketball team preparing for the Tokyo Olympic Games.
In total, our women's basketball lineup already has two "women's versions of O'Neal" (Liu Yutong, Li Yueru) and a "women's version of Zhou Qi" (Han Xu)
Next, let's see what kind of surprises the women's basketball team's inner line Great Wall, which is composed of three of them, will bring us.
