Han Xu did what he said, no longer lay down! He has confirmed his new home, and the next step is to return to the WNBA

Han Xu, who had previously proved himself in the WNBA New York libero, chose to stay in the domestic WCBA league in the past two years, which also caused many fans to sigh. However, after the Chinese women's basketball team was disappointed in the Asian Cup not long ago, Han Xu made it clear in an interview that he would consider going to overseas leagues in the future and no longer choose to lie down.

Recently, according to Australian media reports, the Australian WNBL Perth Bobcat is close to signing with Han Xu. Compared with the domestic league, the Australian league's physical confrontation is more intense, which is also the intensity of Han Xu's advance adaptation to the WNBA next year.

Since the WNBL regular season cycle is October 18 to February 8 of the next year, this also means that Han Xu will miss the entire WCBA season. Although it may be a fatal blow for the Sichuan Women's Basketball Team, for the Chinese Women's Basketball Team, Han Xu's "exit" is indeed a very necessary one at the moment. After all, in recent years, Han Xu has proved in the WCBA that she is a top star and has no room for improvement. On the contrary, if she stays in this comfort zone, it will hinder her progress. In these national team competitions, Han Xu's strength in the team is indeed the only one. Considering that she is only 25 years old this year, she can be said to be the golden age of a female basketball player. If she chooses to lie flat in such a great year instead of going to a higher stage to experience it, it will be a pity for Han Xu herself and the Chinese women's basketball team.

Considering that Li Yueru can firmly hold the core position of the team when he goes to the European League, Han Xu, who plays more closely to modern inside, should be able to become the absolute core of the team like Li Yueru when he goes to the WNBL League. However, for Han Xu, the WNBL League is just a springboard for her return to the WNBA. As Han Xu, who once played the main rotation at the libero, as long as he does not suffer from injuries in the future, returning to the WNBA next season should be a foregone conclusion.

In fact, in addition to Han Xu, the Chinese women's basketball team also needs more players to bravely step out of their comfort zone. Yang Shuyu is currently in the golden period and has the hope of going to a higher stage. In addition, Zhang Ziyu, who has just been promoted to the adult team this year, may also step on the WNBA stage in the future. I also hope that the wave of overseas development launched by Li Yueru and Han Xu will be a turning point for the Chinese women's basketball team.

If more and more players can step out of their comfort zone and play in the European League, Australian League and even WNBA, the Chinese women's basketball team should be able to quickly stop the decline and regain their competitiveness. I also hope to hear more good news about female basketball players studying abroad in the future. As for the WCBA League, in order to avoid becoming a useless league in China, relevant decision makers should indeed think carefully about how to reform.
