Looking at the past 2021, a lot of things have happened in the Chinese basketball world, the men's basketball team missed the Olympic Games for the first time in 37 years, and the three-person basketball women's basketball team won a bronze medal at the Tokyo Olympic Games. However, to the disappointment of Chinese fans, the powerful Chinese women's basketball team has achieved nothing throughout 2021.
Next month the women's basketball World Cup qualification tournament will start, the Chinese women's basketball team will soon start training, just recently, the official Weibo of the Chinese basketball team announced that the national women's basketball team will start training in Shanghai Chongming Sports Training Base on January 10, at the same time, the Chinese basketball team also announced a heavy news, the Chinese women's basketball team head coach Xu Limin coached for physical reasons to step down, changed to the Inner Mongolia women's basketball team head coach Zheng Wei as the acting head coach of the national team! Although the chinese basketball team's wording is very subtle, Xu Limin's guidance is actually the end of the class.
At the Tokyo Olympic Games in the summer of 2021, the Chinese women's basketball team led by Xu Limin originally planned to compete for medals, in fact, in the group stage, the women's basketball girls did show a very strong strength. They have won big victories over Puerto Rico, defeated the Australian and Belgian women's basketball teams, and defeated the U.S. women's basketball team to become the number one seed of the Tokyo Olympic Games with a three-game victory, but in the quarterfinals, the Chinese women's basketball team was reversed by the Serbian women's basketball team in the case of holding the advantage, and finally missed the top 4.
The goal is to compete for cards, but it was eliminated immediately after entering the quarterfinals, and the Olympic results of the Chinese women's basketball team made many fans regret. After the Olympic Games, the domestic National Games soon began, the Chinese women's basketball team will soon face the Asian Cup event, in order to support the Chinese women's basketball team, the National Games opened a special case, so that the Chinese women's basketball team formed an Olympic team, in the National Games to train troops.
As a result, in the Asian Cup field, the Chinese women's basketball team is still very strong, from the group stage to the Final of the Asian Cup, the Chinese women's basketball team has not lost. On the contrary, the Tokyo Olympic silver medalist Japan women's basketball team stumbled all the way, the process of playing to the final is very thrilling, the Chinese women's basketball team and the Japanese women's basketball team have been old enemies in recent years, the women's basketball girl in recent years in the international arena against the Japanese women's basketball team to win less and lose more, especially in the Asian Cup, the Japanese women's basketball team has won 4 consecutive championships.
So this time in the final of the Asian Cup, the Chinese women's basketball team is holding back enough to win the Asian championship on the opponent's head! But I didn't expect that the Chinese women's basketball team had the talent and height advantage, and it was still defeated by the Japanese women's basketball team, and it also made the Japanese women's basketball team the first team to achieve 5 consecutive championships in the Asian Cup, as the head coach of the team, Xu Limin can be said to be blamed!
In fact, the strength of the Chinese women's basketball team is indeed very strong, Han Xu and Li Yueru are world-class insiders, Li Yueru is praised by many fans as the world's first center, and Han Xu's flexible playing style and height advantage are more obvious. The strength of Li Meng in the small forward position is also very strong, including Yang Liwei, Huang Sijing and other players are also good players. But I believe that many fans have found that Xu Limin's guidance of chicken soup and doing ideological work is a good hand, but in terms of personnel rotation and technical and tactical arrangements, it is indeed lackluster, in the face of strong opponents, the Chinese women's basketball team often collapses suddenly at the last moment, which has a lot to do with Xu Limin's guidance.
The Women's Basketball World Cup Qualifier will start in February, and Zheng Wei, the head coach of the Inner Mongolia Women's Basketball Team, who has just led the team to win two consecutive WCBA League championships, will lead the women's basketball players to compete in the World Cup, as for how the women's basketball girls perform on the World Cup field, let us wait and see.
