The Chinese women's basketball team announced the list of 18-man training
In order to cope with the Women's Basketball World Cup Qualifier in February 2022, the Chinese women's basketball team officially announced the 18-person training roster, according to the grouping of the World Cup qualifiers, the Chinese women's basketball team was divided into Group B, and the French women's basketball team, the Nigeria women's basketball team, and the Mali women's basketball team were in the same group. According to the rules of the group stage, as long as the top three teams in the group are in the group, they will qualify for the Women's Basketball World Cup. Judging from the overall strength of the Chinese women's basketball team, it can be said that it will not be too difficult to get a ticket to the main game.
The list of 18 people in the Chinese women's basketball team training is as follows:
Shanxi team 1 person: Wu Tongtong
Guangdong team 1 person: Yang Shuyu
Xinjiang team 1 person: Wang Lili
Beijing Normal University 1 person: Tang Ziting
Jiangsu team 2 people: Jin Weina, Luo Xinjian
Shandong team 3 people: Li Yuan, Wang Siyu, Yang Hengyu
Sichuan team 3 people: Gao Song, Han Xu, Li Meng
Inner Mongolia team 6 people: Huang Sijing, Li Yueru, Li Yifan, Pan Zhenqi, Yang Liwei, Zhang Ru
With 6 people selected, the Inner Mongolia team became the biggest winner
Judging from the big names announced by the Chinese women's basketball team, we can find that most of the players are players who have participated in the 2020 Olympic Games, such as Huang Sijing, Li Yueru, Li Meng, Han Xu, Wu Tongtong, Yang Liwei and other players who have participated in the Olympic Games. Of course, it is a pity that veteran Shao Ting is not in the big list of this training, which also means that Shao Ting will gradually fade out of the Chinese women's basketball national team.
Judging from the large list of participants in the training camp, it can be found that the Inner Mongolia women's basketball team, which has just won the WCBA championship, has become the biggest winner, and the number of players selected has reached 6, accounting for one-third of the total number, while the Sichuan team that has won the runner-up has 3 people selected. In addition, the Shandong team also has 3 players selected, the Jiangsu team has 2 players selected, and the Xinjiang team, Guangdong team, Shanxi team and Beijing Normal University each have 1 player selected.
Xu Limin left class for physical reasons
It is worth mentioning that in addition to announcing the list of 18-person training, the Chinese women's basketball team also announced an important news, that is, head coach Xu Limin officially left the class, on the grounds that Xu Limin no longer served as the head coach due to physical reasons. The new head coach of the Chinese women's basketball team is Zheng Wei, but from the perspective of the position given to Zheng Wei, it is only the name of the acting coach, so whether Zheng Wei can officially turn positive may also depend on the results of her team in the World Cup qualifiers.
Xu Limin has led the Chinese women's basketball team for many years, during his coaching period is also in the world competition has achieved very good results, in the 2020 Olympic Games, the Chinese women's basketball team under the leadership of Xu Limin, the group stage achieved 3 consecutive good results, creating the best result in the group stage in team history. However, in the quarterfinals, the Chinese women's basketball team lost, thus failing to qualify for the final four and achieving the goal of winning medals.
After the end of the Olympic Games, the Chinese women's basketball team lost to its old rival Japan in the final of the Asian Cup, and once again missed the Asian Cup championship, watching the Japanese team win 5 consecutive championships in the Asian Cup. Judging from the situation led by Xu Limin, the players have made great progress under his leadership, but from the team's achievements in recent years, there is still no breakthrough, whether it is in the Olympic Games or in the Asian Cup, the team will always drop the chain at critical times, which shows that Xu Limin's coaching level still owes a little fire. This time, the Chinese women's basketball team changed the head coach, which may be a good choice.
