It has been more than half a month since the women's basketball team was eliminated from the Olympics. As the new season approaches, the WCBA league has also received a big news. In the new season, the women's basketball league will expand again, and this time it may expand by two teams. From the current strength of the women's basketball league, the original 19 teams are already full, and now it has expanded by 2 teams. This move by the Chinese women's basketball team can be called a stupid move among stupid moves.

In recent years, the performance of the Chinese women's basketball team has been quite good. Before the Paris Olympics, the Chinese team was once seen as a team that had the potential to win Olympic medals. In the past two years, the women's basketball team has won the runner-up in the World Cup, the Asian Games and the Asian Cup, and has become the dominant team in Asia. Especially after defeating Japan in succession last year to win the Asian Cup and Asian Games, the Chinese team has recreated its former glory.

What about the women's basketball league? In recent years, as the Chinese women's basketball team has achieved success, the attention of the women's basketball league has also increased. In the past two years, the income of players in the domestic women's basketball league has risen sharply. The income of many players has exceeded that of male basketball players. For example, Li Meng, Han Xu, Wang Siyu and others, their income is close to the top salary of CBA, and Li Meng's annual income even exceeds 10 million.

However, the level of the WCBA league is very average. In the past two years, although the women's basketball league has 19 teams, only Sichuan and Inner Mongolia are very strong, and the annual championship is produced by these two teams. Apart from these two championship-level teams, only a few teams such as Jiangsu, Dongguan, and Shanxi can be considered strong teams, and most of the other teams are just muddling through.
