Li Meng officially announced his rejection of the WNBA! All the two-year contracts were wasted

In preparation for the Paris Olympics in July, Li Meng announced that he would refuse to return to the WNBA team, Washington Mystics.

Immediately afterwards, the media revealed that the mysterious person provided Li Meng with a two-year formal contract, which was quite sincere.

Last year, Li Meng completed his rookie season in the WNBA with the Mystics, averaging 15.9 minutes per game, contributing 5.6 points, 1.1 rebounds and 1 assist, hitting a total of 43 three-pointers, ranking first among all rookies, and was also selected to the Rookie of the Season team.

Li Meng's refusal to return to the WNBA is expected, after all, the Paris Olympics are only 4 months away, and he really has to prepare well with the national team at this stage.

According to Song Xiang, a well-known domestic basketball reporter, the Chinese Basketball Association has set the goal for the women's basketball team in the Paris Olympics to be the top four, and it is best to win a card.

As the absolute main force of the Chinese women's basketball team, Li Meng is well aware of the heavy responsibility, so he decided to give up all the WNBA preparations for the team this summer.

The Chinese women's basketball team has achieved outstanding results in the past two years, winning two championships in the Asian Games and the Asian Cup last year, and winning the World Cup runner-up in 22 years.

Therefore, entering the semi-finals of the Olympic Games and even winning a card is not a dream for the Chinese women's basketball team, but an achievable goal.

As Li Meng took the lead in making a statement, Han Xu and Li Yueru, the two main centers of the Chinese women's basketball team, should also give up going to the WNBA and concentrate on preparing for the Paris Olympics.

It is worth mentioning that thanks to the excellent performance of the Turkish league, the Los Angeles Sparks traded Li Yueru from the Chicago Sky some time ago, and another Chinese player who can play in Los Angeles after Sun Yue.

After reading the comments of netizens, in fact, most people do not agree with Li Meng's behavior of giving up going to the WNBA for the national team game, and think that when there is no special conflict in the game time, it is better to think more about his career.

For this kind of thing, it can only be said to respect the choice of the players, you can not understand but don't be too strategic.

Of course, if it is not a choice made by the player's personal will, then feel free to pick up the keyboard and spray 360 degrees without dead ends.

But considering that the speaker of the Chinese Basketball Association is Yao Ming now, a phenomenon similar to "forcing players" should not exist!
