Eliminates the Japanese Universiade Women s Basketball Team! China s 24-year-old 2-meter 01 female version O Neal hit 17+7: It s a two-game winning streak

On July 23, in the quarter-finals of the women's basketball team at the 2025 Rhine Ruhr Universiade, the Chinese Universiade Women's Basketball Team reversed the Japanese Universiadeball Team 75-70, thus advancing to the semi-finals. It can also be regarded as avenge for the Chinese women's basketball team to lose to the Japanese women's basketball team in the semi-finals of the Asian Cup. In this game, the female version of O'Neill Liu Yutong performed bravely. She played for 30 minutes, made 7 of 10 shots, made 3 of 6 free throws, scored 17 points and 7 rebounds, with a plus-negative value of +8.

Liu Yutong has caused huge trouble for her opponent. She has a height of 2.01 meters and her huge body, so her opponent is unable to limit Liu Yutong. The Japanese Dayun Women's Basketball Team adopted a double-team tactic and took the opportunity to fall when Liu Yutong was exercising his strength. This move created several offensive fouls from Liu Yutong.

Liu Yutong is in trouble with foul. However, in the final quarter, Liu Yutong still faced too much pressure to foul and played dominance under the opponent's encirclement. She and the outside players combined the ball inside and outside. After reaching a deeper position, she took the ball and turned around and carried the player who was defending her, and scored the ball continuously. China National Games Women's Basketball Guard Tian Yuanyuan scored a score in the final quarter, and Liu Yutong was like the overlord of the inside. The team not only completed the overtake, but also gradually opened the score. In this battle, the Chinese National Games Women's Basketball Team fell behind most of the first three quarters, but the tenacious players withstood the pressure and blossomed at multiple points on the offensive end. Liu Yutong's offensive success rate in the inside line is very high, but because of her repeated offensive fouls, she had about 2 minutes left in the final quarter, and had a total of 5 fouls. Fortunately, at that time, the Chinese Women's Basketball Team had a certain leading advantage, and the whole team worked together to defend the victory.

In this game, guard Tian Yuanyuan scored 20 points, Tang Ziting scored 10 points and 4 rebounds, and Chen Yujie felt bad, but scored 10 points, 12 rebounds and 5 assists and double-double.

Liu Yutong competed in the Chengdu Universiade in 2023. She and Han Xu took turns to play center forward, helping the Chinese Universiade women's basketball team win the championship, and defeated the Japanese team in the final.

Liu Yutong still has a lot of experience in dealing with the Japanese team. She is known as the Chinese female version of O'Neal, and the game at this level is a big killer. Liu Yutong is from a college basketball. She once helped Beijing Normal University achieve three consecutive championships in the university league and won the MVP in the finals.

Liu Yutong played for Shanxi Women's Basketball Team after graduating from university and currently plays for Beijing Women's Basketball Team. She now continues to pursue her doctorate degree. Liu Yutong has competed in the 2015 Asian Youth Championship in the national team, averaging 9.2 points and 5.8 rebounds per game. In the 2017 U15 Asian Youth Championship, Liu Yutong became the core of the inside, averaging 14.3 points and 13.5 rebounds per game.

Liu Yutong was selected for the Chinese women's basketball team's training list for the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 and has the status of a national player in the Chinese women's basketball team. Unfortunately, Liu Yutong was unable to represent the first team of the Chinese women's basketball team in the end.

The Chinese women's basketball team is full of talents, with Li Yueru and Han Xu at the center position. Liu Yutong's style is somewhat similar to Li Yueru, while Li Yueru has stronger and more comprehensive capabilities, so Liu Yutong lacks the opportunity to play. Fortunately, Liu Yutong got the opportunity to perform at the Universiade Games. At present, the Chinese National Games Women's Basketball Team has reached the semi-finals and will launch an attack on medals and even gold medals.
