One
He played 24 minutes and 29 seconds, shooting 8-of-13 from the field, including 6-of-9 from the free-throw line, for 22 points and 23 rebounds.
This is the data obtained by Li Yueru, an inside player of the Chinese women's basketball team, in yesterday's game against the Puerto Rico women's basketball team.
It is precisely because Li Yueru is so strong on the inside that this game basically lost suspense as soon as it entered the second half.
I have to say that the Chinese women's basketball team is really "lucky" to have a player like Li Yueru.
First of all, there is height.
For the sport of basketball, whether it is men's basketball or women's basketball, height is the first "hard indicator", after all, the famous Japanese center Akagi Goken once said a famous saying: the closer to the basket, the easier it is to score.
And Li Yueru's height of 201 cm is simply not too perfect.
Basically, when she stopped under the basket, she immediately had a glimpse of the mountains.
Secondly, there is technology.
Height alone can only be said to have a certain advantage in the position of the inside line, but if you want to fully reflect this advantage, you also need technology to support it.
The simplest thing is that many of the world's strongest teams now, they also have players who are not weaker than Li Yueru in height, and when facing these opponents, the effect is definitely not ideal.
After all, if the other party raises his hands high, it is also a hidden existence.
At this time, Li Yueru's excellent basket footsteps can come in handy.
In the flash and movement, the opposing player can easily lose the defensive position, at this time, Li Yueru seized the opportunity of this gap, and it was easy to complete the end of the attack.
Again, there are shots.
As we all know, the whole world is now playing "small ball", which makes the space on the whole court will be very open, and it is not enough for interior players to always nest under the basket if they want to get more opportunities.
This requires them to have a certain ability to shoot from a medium and long distance, so that whether it is down after blocking and dismantling, or "bounce" from the position under the basket to the outside, they can form a certain threat, or in other words, it is a great enrichment for the team's tactics.
We see that Li Yueru shows this very well, too far away to say, but in the middle distance near the free throw line, her overall shot is still relatively sure.
When she can hit a certain number of goals in this position, it will be a big blow to the opponent's defense, because defending her is bound to be a big man, everyone is fighting under the basket, a little better, once, can also expand outward, the opponent has to consume more physical energy on the defensive end.
If this is the case throughout the game, then the opposing players will have limited energy to put into the defensive end.
This is the so-called when you are good enough, all problems will be solved.
Such Li Yueru, how can fans not like it?
Second, after watching Li Yueru's performance, and then looking at the current group of inside players of the Chinese men's basketball team, you will feel how big the gap is.
Not to mention that the Puerto Rico women's basketball team is also among the top 10 or so in the world, Li Yueru has obtained double 20+ data in the face of such an opponent.
Even in the face of the team at the bottom of the world rankings, none of the current players of the Chinese men's basketball team are sure that they will be able to get double 20+ data.
Whether it is Zhou Qi, Wang Zhelin or the new generation of Yang Hansen, Yu Jiahao, etc.
Of course, there are still certain differences between men's and women's basketballs, and it is not realistic to compare them in this way.
However, from another point of view, which of the current men's basketball interior players can play at their level like Li Yueru, no matter what opponent they face?
Now, basically, in the face of weaker teams, these interior players of the men's basketball team can play a little bit, and it is very good to score 10 points and close to 10 rebounds.
But if the opponent of strength is a little closer, there is little room to play, if you face the world's strongest team, it will be directly "invisible".
Therefore, many times it is not necessary to "criticize" the current men's basketball players, it is really their own level and ability that are too poor.
It can't stand any strong tests at all.
The worst thing is that the ability to resist pressure is still very poor, and many times before it happens, I deny myself first, so that when the game shows some opportunities that can be easily grasped, I slipped away in the end.
In other words, no matter what opponent he is, he will not be strong enough to be able to suppress the whole court, and there will always be some moments that can be earned.
However, these men's basketball players of ours are not confident, and they dare not be confident.
In the end, you can only watch the opportunity slip away.
Therefore, we have been saying for so many years that the men's basketball team should learn from this and learn from that.
In fact, it is better to learn from the Chinese women's basketball team first.
With such a good role model around you, why should you go far and near?
