Tears! The Chinese women s basketball team 24-year-old 2-meter 01 ace won the championship with illness: Female O Neal has a high fever and cannot fall from the fire line

"Start from here and protect this honor! We are the champions! Defend the title!" Liu Yutong posted a series of photos of herself winning the Universiade Rhine and wrote this passage. After winning the championship, she burst into tears, which moved many people because Liu Yutong had a cold and fever these days, and had a high fever of more than 39℃ at one time, but she played in the semi-finals and finals with illness and maintained a stable performance. In the finals against the US women's basketball team, Liu Yutong was still coughing before the game. After practicing for a while, she sat on the bench to rest and adjust. Because she was sick, her physical fitness was affected. However, as long as you stand on the field, Liu Yutong is the lively female version of O'Neal, who is stimulating the energy in her body.

Even when facing the American women's basketball team members with outstanding athletic ability, Liu Yutong, who is 2.01 meters tall and weighs 130 kilograms, can still gain an absolute advantage at the basket. In the final, Liu Yutong's playing time was compressed. She played for 21 minutes, made 4 of 7 shots, 1 of 2 free throws, scored 9 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 1 block.

Liu Yutong's contribution on the court is not just about scoring, she can inspire the energy of the outside players. Chen Yujie and Tian Yuanyuan took turns to play pick-and-roll with Liu Yutong and scored in the offensive. Chen Yujie scored the highest 19 points in the team, and most of her offense was to cooperate with Liu Yutong in pick-and-roll.

Liu Yutong used her huge body to provide a very solid pick-and-roll screening, and Chen Yujie scored three-pointers from the outside. With the help of cover, Chen Yujie dribbled the ball and broke through to the near-the-free throw line and then stopped and jumped. She successfully played this tactic three times in this game.

This is another value of Liu Yutong on the court. Liu Yutong was sick and did not start in the second half. Coach Li Sunnan used her correctly, allowing her to maintain her physical fitness until the last moment. At the beginning of the second half, the speedup of the Chinese Universiade women's basketball team worked and took the lead. Then Liu Yutong came up to fight more positional wars, and if she had the chance, she would fight fast attacks. If she didn't have the chance, she would focus on efficiency and consume time. The Chinese National Fortune Women's Basketball Team finally won the game. In the semi-finals, Liu Yutong fought for 32 minutes, made 5 of 12 shots, 1 of 1 three-pointers, scored 14 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists. In the quarter-finals, Liu Yutong played for 30 minutes, made 7 of 10 shots, 3 of 6 free throws, and scored 17 points, 7 rebounds and 1 assist. There is no doubt that Liu Yutong is one of the heroes of the Chinese Women's Basketball Team. After winning the championship, Liu Yutong cried into tears. This is her second time winning the Women's Basketball Championship at the Universiade. At the 2023 Chengdu Universiade, the Chinese Universiade Women's Basketball Team won the championship because Han Xu was in the interior. Liu Yutong is the substitute center. This time, Liu Yutong is the pillar of the inside, and her task is obviously much heavier. Liu Yutong successfully completed the task.

The Chinese National Games Women's Basketball Team even exceeded its target. This team is all from college students, not from professional teams since childhood. The team set a goal to win medals, but unexpectedly, it achieved the defense of the title, and defeated the three powerful teams of Japan, Poland and the United States during the championship.

Liu Yutong was once selected for the Chinese women's basketball training team, but unfortunately she has not yet had any experience in representing the Chinese women's basketball team in competitions. In the future, Gong Luming will face the trouble of happiness. The Chinese women's basketball team has a lot of talents in the center position, and Li Yueru, Han Xu, Zhang Ziyu and Liu Yutong are all super centers. In addition, Jiangsu Women's Basketball Center Xu Chenyan is 2 meters tall and is quite capable.
