At the Tokyo Olympic Games that ended this summer, the team that surprised the Chinese fans the most must be the Chinese women's basketball team, in the case of not being optimistic about the outside world, the women's basketball girls passed the barrier all the way and reached the final eight, not only in the group stage will be the superior Australian team cut down, but also with a slight disadvantage to the Belgian team, regrettably missed the opportunity to reach the top four. And what makes this Chinese women's volleyball team look new is no one else, it is the team's meritorious coach Xu Limin, but in the women's basketball World Cup qualifier training list released by the Basketball Association this afternoon, there is no Xu Limin's name, which means that this famous coach is no longer the head coach of the Chinese women's basketball team, and without warning, he suddenly chose to leave.
In the list of participants in the Women's Basketball World Cup Qualifier released by the Basketball Association, the head coach of the Chinese women's basketball team is the team's original assistant coach Zheng Wei, Xu Limin's name does not appear in it, according to the inquiry of many sources, Xu Limin has been transferred out of the position of the head coach of the Chinese women's basketball team, in the Tokyo Olympic Games, he has already had a serious injury on the Achilles tendon, but in order not to affect the team's preparation, Xu Limin chose to sit in a wheelchair and insisted on directing the team to play the entire Tokyo Olympic Games schedule.
Now, there are still three years before the Paris Olympic Games, at this time Yao Ming chose to transfer Xu Limin away from the position of women's basketball coach, in fact, it is very likely that it is to create an opportunity for Xu Limin to cultivate surgery, at present, Xu Limin is appointed by Yao Ming as the Olympic envoy, mainly responsible for the formation of team personnel, is a relatively idle post, in such a post, Xu Limin also has more time and energy, used to take care of his body, in order to ensure that his injury can be fully recovered.
At present, the Chinese women's basketball team is in a critical period of replacement of the old and new, like Shao Ting, it is difficult to return to the national team to continue to play, three years later in the Paris Olympic Games, we can only rely on young players like Li Meng, Yang Liwei, Li Yueru, so most of the training list is under 25 years old, previously in an interview, Xu Limin had sworn that if he continues to coach this team, he has hope in the Paris Olympic Games, Lead the team to better results.
Historically, the best result of the Chinese women's basketball team in the Olympic Games, is the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games, won a silver medal, in addition, in the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games, the Chinese women's volleyball team also won a bronze medal, into 2000, the best result of the Chinese women's basketball team, is in the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games to get the fourth place, to re-stand on the podium, we need Xu Limin this kind of hard-working and diligent manager, look forward to Xu Limin guidance can be able to recover as soon as possible, and strive to lead the Chinese women's basketball team, Achieved even better results at the Paris Olympics.
