The Basketball Association finally stopped rushing for quick success. Compared with the seniors, Li Yueru and Yang Hansen are so lucky

Almost before the Women's Basketball Asian Cup, the Basketball Association and head coach Gong Luming had sufficient communication with Li Yueru, allowing Li Yueru to stay in the WNBA to continue his training without having to participate in the Women's Basketball Asian Cup. As it turns out, this strategy is still very correct. Although we did not win the Asian Cup for the Women's Basketball Team, Li Yueru finally secured her starting position in the WNBA Dallas Flying Wings, and her personal data is also rising. Just imagine if Li Yueru came back to participate in the Asian Cup for the Women's Basketball Team, her WNBA trip might have been ruined.

Li Yueru has been repeatedly in the European Turkish League and the WNBA in the past two years, and finally changed from the previous style of standing big center at the basket to a space-based inside. Last year, Li Yueru was the best player in the Chinese women's basketball team at the Paris Olympics. Imagine what the state will be like in next year's Women's Basketball World Cup and the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics? Now I think about it and feel expectant.

Similarly, in order to enable Yang Hansen to better develop in the NBA Trail Blazers and the long-term needs of Chinese basketball, coach Guo Shiqiang resolutely decided to let Yang Hansen miss the Asian Cup and participate in the Portland Trail Blazers' two short training camps. This short training camp started on August 11, just coincided with the Asian Cup schedule. However, this short training camp is based on the NBA Summer League, specifically for rookies and players who need to continue to improve.

Recalling when Wang Zhizhi and Yao Ming were in the NBA, the Basketball Association asked them to participate in the competition regardless of their big or small games, which resulted in Yao Ming being injured and retired early due to overwork. There is also Han Xu, who just made a name for himself and gained a foothold in the WNBA New York Liberty, and began to recall Han Xu frequently for the sake of Universiade, Women's Basketball Asian Cup and other results. As a result, Han Xu was no longer valued in the WNBA New York Liberty and eventually had to return to China to participate in the league. Looking at Han Xu's performance in the past two years, his level is incomparable to his strength when playing in the WNBA. After the Asian Cup for Women's Basketball Team, the clamor of coach Lu Ming from Kurokuhara began to start online, mainly focusing on changing coaches and players. It was nothing more than the players they wanted to participate in the competition were rejected by Gong Luming from the national team. In fact, this is short-sightedness in a short time. Why do we say that as long as we participate in the competition, we must win gold medals, and why can't we give the coach some room for fault tolerance? Therefore, we will no longer be eager for quick success and instant benefits, and focus on the long-term plan, so that Li Yueru and Yang Hansen can fully experience high-level leagues. Just for this, we should like to give the new Basketball Association a thumbs up. I believe that with the introduction of various new policies of the Basketball Association, the Chinese men's and women's basketball team will surely usher in a more brilliant development.
