Now that the women's basketball final of the National Games has come to an end, the People's Liberation Army women's basketball team, who has won eight consecutive championships, unfortunately lost to the young Guangdong women's basketball team, and had no chance to defend the title to see the Guangdong women's basketball team win the championship for the first time. The 36-year-old Miao Lijie and the 34-year-old Chen Nan, two veterans, in order to ensure that the People's Liberation Army women's basketball team won the championship, returned at this National Games, but in the end did not help the team win the championship and left with regrets.
This is Miao Lijie's return to the basketball field after 3 years, is to fight for the team to fight for a championship, the greater the pressure, the play is not too good, an injured Miao Lijie has tried everything. Basketball fans know that at the peak of Miao Lijie, his personal ability was very prominent, and he was the scoring king of WCBA, leading the Chinese women's basketball team to the top 4 at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, creating the final result since the runner-up in 1992. With excellent performance, Miao Lijie also entered the wnBA and also had a good performance in the top league.
Her career can be described as great, even if the final comeback did not help the ball win the championship, but Miao Lijie can still leave with his head held high. At the award ceremony, Yao Ming, chairman of the Chinese Basketball Association, deliberately omitted Miao Lijie when awarding the award row to Miao Lijie, and only finally awarded her the award. For such an act, Yao Ming explained: Players like Miao Lijie are to be put at the end. An explanation of this fully proves Yao Ming's emphasis on the veteran, and many fans have praised Yao Ming for his high emotional intelligence.
Life is not more than basketball, Miao Lijie off the court is already a mother, and Miao Lijie, who no longer plays football, also hopes to become a good coach while taking care of his family and cultivating more excellent basketball talents. Perhaps when Miao Lijie saw the heroic performance of young players, he was full of the shadows of his youth, and the veterans did not die, but would only slowly wither.
