China News Agency, Beijing, March 14th, after Han Xu, Li Yuelu and Yang Liwei, another Chinese women’s basketball player will land in the US Women’s Professional Basketball League (WNBA).
On the 14th Beijing time, Li Meng, women’s basketball Chinese general, announced to join WNBA in personal social media. Li Meng said: “This summer, I will wear the Washington mystery man’s jersey and fight for WNBA! I hope I can bring more attention from Asia and China to WNBA, and also get exercise and promotion in WNBA.”
As the main forward of China’s women’s basketball, Li Meng won the MVP of the team in the Tokyo Olympic women’s basketball qualifier. In last year’s World Cup, China won the second place in the world after 28 years women’s basketball. Although Li Meng missed the semi-finals and finals due to illness, he ranked first in the midfield of the competition. In the final of the Chinese Women’s Basketball League (WCBA), which ended on the evening of 12th, the Sichuan team led by Li Meng won the WCBA championship for the first time with a big score of 2:1 Reke defending champion Inner Mongolia.
For Li Meng, the landing of WNBA was a round dreamway, because the first two overseas invitations failed to make a trip. She said that after joining WNBA, she would actively train to improve her ability and better play for the national team. At the same time, she hopes that more people can pay attention to female athletes and let the world see their efforts and persistence.
Last season, Han Xu and Li Yuelu, China’s women’s basketball “Twin Towers”, joined WNBA’s New York Free team and Chicago Sky team respectively. On February this year, guard Yang Liwei was recruited by the Los Angeles spark team. More and more Chinese players appear in the women’s basketball top league, which not only shows the booming development of China’s women’s basketball, but also indicates that it is expected to go further in the future.
A few days ago, China women’s basketball has released the 27th National People’s Congress list of the new national training team to prepare for this year’s women’s basketball Asian Cup and Hangzhou Asian Games. As the world runner-up of Xinke, China’s women’s basketball goal is naturally the Asian overlord. (Finished)
