On January 6, Beijing time, the Chinese women's basketball team announced the 18-person training list for the Women's Basketball World Cup qualification tournament, Li Yueru, Li Meng, Li Meng and others all entered the big list, and Yang Shuyu, who is very popular with everyone, was also selected for the training list, but the Chinese women's basketball official announced that he would change the coach, and Xu Limin would no longer serve as the head coach of the national women's basketball team.
The Chinese Basketball Association said that Xu Limin no longer served as the head coach of the national women's basketball team due to physical reasons, and transferred to the post of executive commissioner of Olympic preparations and continued to play for the construction of the national team. Zheng Wei, the former assistant coach of the national women's basketball team, served as the acting head coach.
The Chinese Basketball Association also expressed its gratitude to Xu Limin, and the Chinese Basketball Association said: After the Rio Olympic Games, it successfully completed the replacement of the old and the new, and excavated and cultivated a group of outstanding players. The Chinese Basketball Association expresses its heartfelt thanks to Xu Limin for his dedication and contribution!
Xu Limin said in a low-key manner: it is his greatest honor to lead the team to win glory for the country, and thanks to the strong support of the Chinese Basketball Association, all the players of the women's basketball team, the coaching staff and all sectors of society, and will continue to work hard to contribute to the national team and Chinese basketball in the future.
Maybe everyone has questioned Xu Limin's coaching before, but now, everyone really has to thank Xu Limin, because when he took over the Chinese women's basketball team, we were at the lowest point, hanging by Japan at the Asian level, but since 2017 as the head coach of the national women's basketball team, in just over 4 years, Xu Limin not only led the Chinese women's basketball team out of the trough, but also brought the Chinese women's basketball team into the world's top eight.
In the past four years, the progress of the Chinese women's basketball team is obvious to all, and he led the national women's basketball team to climb to the world's peak with a high sense of responsibility and mission, and better completed various competition tasks, especially in the Tokyo Olympic Games, he still insisted on standing and directing the game in the case of Achilles tendon rupture, which made people very moved, and now 55-year-old Xu Limin chose to bid farewell to the front line, we sincerely wish and thank him.
