The twelve members of the 2024 Chinese women's basketball team are Li Meng, Yang Liwei, Zhang Ru, Li Yuan, Huang Sijing, Han Xu, Sun Mengran, Wang Siyu, Wu Tongtong, Luo Xinqi, Li Yueru, Yang Shuyu! In the first game of the Olympic Games, the Chinese women's basketball team unfortunately lost to Spain in overtime and lost a good game! In this game, our absolute women's basketball core Li Yueru played well, and she scored 31 points and 15 rebounds in 9 of 16 in the game! Starting guard Wang Siyu played 27 minutes, shooting 3 of 7, scoring 8 points, 2 rebounds, 5 assists and 6 turnovers; Another starting guard, Yang Liwei, played 37 minutes and made 1 of 6 shots, scoring 4 points, 5 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals and 1 turnover. The backcourt duo's continuous mistakes in regular time were the main culprits of the Chinese team's defeat in this game! The Chinese women's basketball team achieved a good result in second place in last year's World Cup, only a year has passed and the state has fallen at a visible rate, the most important thing is that the way of losing this game is too unacceptable, which has to mention what Li Yueru gave up 400w annual salary to go to United States to play with an annual salary of 6.48w US dollars, let's take a look at the annual salary of women's basketball!
WCBA Sichuan Team: Li Meng - Annual salary of 500w!
Li Meng is the core forward player of the Chinese women's basketball team, and her salary is the highest in the WCBA, reaching 500W! Previously, the salary in the WNBA was only 62,000 US dollars, equivalent to about 350,000 yuan! Due to the impact of his leg and knee injuries, Li Meng did not appear until the last two warm-up games, and the game was in average condition! In the first group game against Spain, Li Meng played the longest time, a whopping 38 minutes, but hit just three goals in nine shots. Although she had a stellar performance of 13 points and 11 assists, while having five turnovers, her performance on the defensive end was nothing short of disastrous. Fans bluntly said that she played like a 39-year-old veteran.
WCBA Sichuan Team: Wang Siyu - annual salary of 280w!
Wang Siyu is the absolute backcourt core of the Chinese women's basketball team in recent years, with good scoring ability and organizational ability, and the ability to read the game is also top-notch, especially in the Women's Basketball World Cup last year, in the process of competing with a number of world-class guards, but this year's performance is really a bit difficult to understand, not to mention scoring and organization, now the ball is unstable! Played 27 minutes against Spain on 3-of-7 shooting, scoring 8 points, 2 rebounds, 5 assists and 6 turnovers!
WCBA Inner Mongolia Team: Yang Liwei - Annual salary 300w!
Yang Liwei joined the WNBA Los Angeles Sparks on February 20, 2023, with an annual salary of only $6.23w! However, due to FIBA's temporary change of the rules related to the Olympic qualification, the Olympic qualifying tournament originally scheduled for November will be merged with the FIBA Women's Basketball Asian Cup in June, and the final results of last year's Women's Basketball Asian Cup will directly determine the Paris Olympic quota, so only three months in the WNBA had to terminate the contract with the Sparks! In the just-concluded Olympic group stage, he committed two fouls at critical moments and directly buried the game, shooting 1 of 6 in 37 minutes in the game, scoring 4 points, 5 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals and 1 turnover!
WNBA Sparks: Li Yueru - annual salary of 6.48w US dollars (46w RMB)!
Li Yueru gave up his annual salary of 400w in the WCBA, and went to the WNBA Sparks for only an annual salary of 6.48w US dollars, which is not even enough for normal expenses, that is to say, he almost went there to exercise at his own expense, and the performance on the court did not need to be said! The gap with the strength of the rest of the women's basketball team is too obvious!
Salary breakdowns for others
Han Xu's annual salary is 400w, after watching Li Yueru's performance, I really want to say go out and play, the Chinese women's basketball team needs you so much, and her performance after returning to China is obviously not as good as before. Huang Sijing 280w, her three-point shooting ability is a big weapon to help the Chinese women's basketball team go further, three three-pointers against Spain is very crucial, hoping to maintain the form. Li Yuan 150w, as a young defender, there is still a lot to grow, especially the passing vision is too poor, and the ability to control the ball needs to be improved urgently! Zhang Ru 120w, a defensive warrior, but strange seems to be not reused, maybe it's the reason why the offensive ability is too poor! Sun Mengran is 35w, as a veteran, his performance in this national team is very stable, and it is impossible to ask her to do more! Wu Tongtong, Luo Xinqi, and Yang Shuyu are all 30w annual salaries, Luo Xinqi and Yang Shuyu are only 22 years old, hoping to get experience in the national team, and their potential is quite good! It is worth mentioning that Li Yueru's annual salary can only rank eighth in the national team!
