WNBA player Li Yueru, take the initiative to apply for a trade! Why is that? She herself said why!

Li Yueru, a Chinese women's basketball player, requested a trade from the Seattle Storm.

Talking about the reason, Li Yueru said: "I came to the United States for only one reason - I want to play basketball. It's really important to be able to play, that's pretty much the most important thing for me. ”

In her speech she stated,If she could get a bigger role on the Storm team, she would prefer to stay on the team。

This season, as a representative of the Chinese women's basketball team, she averaged only 9.1 minutes per game and contributed 2.9 points and 1.6 rebounds during her time with the Storms, which is a significant decrease from the 14.4 minutes per game in the Los Angeles Sparks last season.

In the game against the Dallas Wings, she hit two three-pointers in the first quarter and was still abandoned by her coach, playing only 5 minutes and 45 seconds in the whole game...

According to U.S. media reports, the Storm had promised to gradually increase their playing time after seven games, but they still did not fulfill their agreement after eight games.

In addition, the coaching staff has a more tactical system that prefers to develop young players, rather than the team's top of the list, Malonga.

Li Yueru's situation fully demonstrates how difficult it is for a Chinese player to survive in the environment of American basketball.

Prejudice is ever-present.

In addition, the internal competition of the team.

Li Yueru is now the team's fourth interior liner, with Storm starting Ohumik and Magbegol and then Marlonga as the third choice.

So the playing time is limited, which is also expected.

What is outrageous is that when Li Yueru hit a three-pointer, the bench did not cheer...

In this case, there is no point in staying.

Realistically speaking, she is still more suitable to go to a team with weaker internal competition to have more opportunities.

For example, where the new champion is locatedDallas Flying Wing.

But no matter what, a girl who has crossed the ocean, traveled to Europe and the United States, and stepped out of her comfort zone to bravely pursue her dreams, has won our special respect.
