Only 4 minutes to score 2 points! Li Yueru s situation is similar to Yi Jianlian in the past, and it is unwise to miss the Asian Cup

This reminds people of Yi Jianlian after the Rio Olympics. At that time, he still had the NBA dream and went to the Lakers to play preseason. However, the Lakers did not give him any chance at all.

In a WNBA regular season game, the Seattle Storm lost to the Las Vegas Ace 70-75 at home. Li Yueru played for less than 4 minutes on the bench and contributed 2 points and 1 assist.

Previously, Li Yueru had scored 0 in two consecutive games. Now her playing time has dropped from more than 10 minutes in the first game to less than 5 minutes, or even just one or two minutes.

Judging from the arrangement of the head coach of the Storm team, she has ranked the appearance order of young player Ma Longa before Li Yueru, who is now the third choice in the center position.

In order to gain a foothold in the WNBA, Li Yueru did not return to the WCBA, but played in the Turkish League for two consecutive years, using this as a springboard to end the European game and then went to the WNBA League.

At first, people praised Li Yueru for sacrificing her personal playing time and annual salary for her dream. After all, now, a player of her level is no problem to earn millions of annual salary in China.

However, shortly after the start of this season, people learned that Li Yueru won the training camp contract first for the Storm! That is, it may be cut at any time and will be converted into a formal contract only after the season begins, but the money you get is very low.

It was previously reported that in order to stay with the Storm team and continue playing, Li Yueru will not represent the Chinese women's basketball team in the Asian Cup. In this way, if Zhang Ziyu plays the U19 World Youth Championship again, it will be difficult for the Chinese women's basketball team to defend their title.

But now, the WNBA season has just begun, and Li Yueru is equivalent to being thrown into the "cold palace". She must make a decision now, whether to continue to persevere or stop loss in time? Just like Yang Liwei at the beginning, don’t wait for this illusory opportunity, just return to China to play and focus on the national team.

This reminds people of Yi Jianlian after the Rio Olympics. At that time, he still had the NBA dream and went to the Lakers to play preseason, but the Lakers did not give him any chance at all. In the end, Yi Jianlian returned to the CBA and never made any more efforts in the NBA.

Li ​​Yueru has sacrificed her personal interests for two years and has played in the WNBA for three years. If she can't play this season, she should recognize the reality, otherwise it would be nothing more than a waste of time to pursue her dreams.
