Han started her basketball training at a sports school in her hometown. Then she studied at the well-known middle school attached to Tsinghua University in Beijing, which is also a secondary school with basketball culture.

Yao Ming, former NBA star center and incumbent Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) president, has ever said that more and more Chinese basketball talents will come from campuses and middle schools.

As one of the talents, Han said, "In the six-year period of middle school, I took curricular courses everyday in morning and afternoon, followed by basketball drillings. It needed a proper time arrangement and role switching."

"My school has professional basketball coaches and the basketball-oriented students including me have many chances to take part in competitions, even international ones," she added.

Graduated from the middle school, Han turned to a professional player joining WCBA side Xinjiang Tianshan. In her first season in 2018, Han averaged 15.9 points, 8.9 rebounds and 2.1 blocks to help Xinjiang advance to playoffs. She was selected into the WCBA All-Star starting line-up and went to the World Cup with the national team before coming to the United States for the draft.

Han said, "During my stay in Los Angeles this year in preparation for the draft, the coach of New York Liberty came to see my training."

"I can feel the hospitality of WNBA. And I don't mind being picked in the first, second or third round. The most important thing is I've come to WNBA and I'll try my best here," Han noted.
