The CBA rematch is in full swing, and it is necessary to fully guarantee that the men's basketball season has a price, and this price is to sacrifice the women's basketball team. The WCBA of the 19-20 season was completely cancelled, and the women's basketball team, which was not highly concerned, fell into silence.
However, a transfer official announcement about the national women's basketball team captain Shao Ting has become the biggest news for the women's basketball team in the offseason.
Sichuan Yuanda Meile Women's Basketball Team officially announced on the evening of July 12 that former Beijing Shougang women's basketball forward Shao Ting officially joined the team, will become its registered player and represent the club in the 2020-2021 China Women's Basketball League (WCBA).
Shao Ting, 31, was born in Shanghai and has been training basketball since childhood. In the middle school era, Shao Ting repeatedly refused the invitation of the professional team and entered the famous basketball school North Normal University women's basketball team to compete in cuba.
During college, Shao Ting became a CUBA star player, led the team to win the CUBA championship for five generations, and won the super championship three times. In the summer of 2013, 24-year-old Shao Ting tested professional basketball and joined the Beijing Shougang women's basketball team. Debuting in the professional arena, Shao Ting became the main force of Shougang, and then grew all the way to the core.
In the 2015-16, 2016-17, and 2017-18 seasons, Shao Ting led the Shougang women's basketball team to win the championship three times in a row, and won the finals fmvp twice. In the finals of six years and five years, the Shougang women's basketball team became another dynasty team in the WCBA.
In the summer of 2019, Shao Ting briefly joined the Minnesota Bobcats, which won the WNBA championship several times, and appeared in the WNBA regular season.
Shao Ting was first selected for the national team in 2014 and gradually grew into the core and captain of the national women's basketball team. She represented the Chinese women's basketball team in two World Championships and rio Olympics, and earlier this year she was selected for the Tokyo Olympics training list, becoming the only player born before 90 years.
The reason why Shao Ting joined Sichuan caused a huge shock was mainly because there was little flow of core players except for the dissolution of the team before. In particular, he is also the star of the home and the main force of the national team.
Before Shao Ting joined the Shougang women's basketball team, the team had already won a championship in the 11-12 season. At that time, the core of the team was Zhang Fan, Zhang Lin, Sun Xiaoyu and Zhou Honghua. With the fading of veterans, Shao Ting grew into the core of the Shougang women's basketball team. In the past few years, she and Gao Song and Shi Xiufeng have formed the "big three" of the Shougang women's basketball team.
In the past nearly 10 years of brilliant period, the Shougang women's basketball team has never had a core player leave the team, and Shao Ting is the first core player to leave from Shougang.
As early as 2010, Sichuan signed a contract with Beijing Normal University to build a women's basketball team. According to the cooperation agreement between the two sides, all the players who entered the women's basketball team of Beijing Normal University also became Sichuan athletes.
In the first five consecutive championship teams of the Beijing Normal University women's basketball team, in addition to Shao Ting, Wang Miqi, Guo Xiaochen, and Wu Siyang entered the Sichuan women's basketball team to participate in the WCBA. After Shao Ting entered the WCBA, she has been signing a short-term contract with Shougang, and while playing and watching, she never planned to retire in Beijing, and returning to her hometown shanghai has always been an option for her. Since she has been continuing her studies, playing in Shougang has also made it more convenient for her to take care of her studies.
Shao Ting is currently a Ph.D. student in education at Beijing Normal University. According to the agreement, Shao Ting's registration is at the Sichuan Sports Bureau, which is why she represented the Sichuan women's basketball team in the National Games.
In the 2018 National U19 Women's Basketball Youth League, Sichuan defeated Bayi and won the championship. This is also the first annual highest level competition championship won by the Sichuan women's basketball team since its establishment in 1955. At the beginning of last year, Xu Limin was the future reserve inspection player of the national team, and the Sichuan women's basketball team had five players zhao Xuetong, Tang Ziting, Shi Xiaoye, Fang Zhuoya and Xiao Tong selected, of which Zhao Xuetong, Tang Ziting and Shi Xiaoye were jointly trained by the Sichuan Vocational Sports College and Beijing Normal University. Last year, the Beijing Normal University women's basketball team won the CUBA championship, and Shi Xiaoye scored 35 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists in the final, and won the MVP.
If the agreement is strictly followed and the player's registration relationship, the Sichuan women's basketball team is eligible to recall Shao Ting from the Shougang women's basketball team. Since playing in Beijing is far more ideal for Shao Ting's personal career development and Shougang's competitive pursuit than in Sichuan, Shao Ting has remained in Shougang.
Although the 19-20 season was cancelled, according to the ranking before the suspension, the Shougang women's basketball team won the first place of the season with 17 wins and 1 loss.
Xu Limin has been continuously updated after taking over the national women's basketball team, and last year there were only two veterans over 30 years old, Shao Ting and Liu Jiacen. If nothing else, the Tokyo Olympics, which were supposed to be held this summer, were a farewell trip for Shao Ting's national team. It is very likely that Sichuan and Shougang have agreed in advance that after the Olympic Games, Shao Ting, who has reached the age of 31, will go to Sichuan to play her residual heat. Although the Olympic Games have been postponed, the "agreement" between the two sides may not be postponed any longer.
The relationship between the Shougang women's basketball team and the Sichuan women's basketball team has always been good. A few years ago, the Shougang women's basketball team loaned substitute feng Fan to Sichuan to play in the league for several years. In those years of training, Feng Fan became the number one scorer of the Sichuan women's basketball team, and entered the team's rotation lineup after returning to Shougang.
Last season, the Shougang women's basketball team loaned another young striker, Dong Jingxian, to Sichuan for training. After returning to Shougang this season, she played the main force on the edge of the team's status, averaging about 20 minutes per game. Dong Jingxian has become the key training object of the Shougang women's basketball team, which can be seen as paving the way for Shao Ting's departure.
August is about to start the National Games women's basketball qualifiers, if there is no impact of the epidemic, after the Olympic Games, Shao Ting will also have to represent the Sichuan women's basketball team to play the National Games.
Therefore, Shao Ting's departure from the Shougang women's basketball team at the peak period was not sudden. Joining Sichuan is only a long overdue "fulfillment".
