In February 2022, the women's basketball World Cup qualifier is about to start, and on the afternoon of January 6, the official Weibo of the Chinese basketball team suddenly announced that the Chinese women's basketball team will start training at the Shanghai Chongming Sports Training Base from January 10.
However, to the surprise of many fans, xu Limin, the head coach of the Chinese women's basketball team, stepped down without warning! According to the Chinese basketball team, Xu Limin's coaching is no longer the head coach of the Chinese women's basketball team because of physical reasons, he will serve as the executive commissioner of the Olympic preparations, and the new head coach of the Chinese women's basketball team is Zheng Wei, the head coach of the Inner Mongolia women's basketball team who has just led the team to win the WCBA championship. The World Cup qualifiers will start in February, and the sudden suspension of Coach Xu Limin has surprised the fans.
In fact, there have been calls for Xu Limin to leave class since the end of the Tokyo Olympics and the Asian Cup. At the Tokyo Olympic Games, the Chinese women's basketball team won three games in the group stage, and the opponents won included the Australian women's basketball team and the Belgian women's basketball team, and became the number one seed of the Olympic women's basketball team after qualifying from the group, but in the quarterfinals, the Chinese women's basketball team was overturned by the Serbian women's basketball team in the case of a good situation, and even the final four failed to score, ending their Olympic journey early.
At the National Games after the Olympic Games, in order to let the women's basketball girls prepare for the upcoming Asian Cup, the Game deliberately let the Chinese women's basketball team form an Olympic team, but in the Asian Cup field, the Chinese women's basketball team opened high and low, all the way to the final, but was once again defeated by the old rival Japan women's basketball team, so that the opponent achieved the Asian Cup 5 consecutive championships, such a good talent, the team has Han Xu, Li Yueru and Li Meng such world-class athletes, Xu Limin led the team but could not cash in as results, so that domestic fans can not accept.
Coach Zheng Wei has led the team to excellent results in the domestic WCBA League in recent years, and has just led the Inner Mongolia women's basketball team to achieve two consecutive championships, and naturally served as the acting head coach of the Chinese women's basketball team. The assistant coaches of the Chinese women's basketball team are composed of Korean foreign coach Park Myung-so, Jia Nan from the former Bayi team, Muratti from Xinjiang and Li Jun from Sichuan. This time, the Chinese women's basketball national training team also gathered domestic super-first-class players, and a total of 18 players were selected for the national women's basketball training team.
The 18 players are Wu Tongtong of the Shanxi women's basketball team, Huang Sijing, Li Yueru, Li Yifan, Pan Zhenqi, Yang Liwei and Zhang Ru of the Inner Mongolia women's basketball team, Jin Weina and Luo Xintang of the Jiangsu women's basketball team, Li Yuan, Huang Sijing and Yang Hengyu of the Shandong women's basketball team, Yang Shuyu of the Guangdong women's basketball team, Han Xu, Li Meng and Gao Song of the Sichuan women's basketball team, and Wang Lili and Tang Ziting of the Xinjiang women's basketball team, all of which are the core players of their respective teams. It is worth mentioning that the two veterans Sun Mengran and Shao Ting were not recruited to the training team.
It is expected that Wu Tongtong, Huang Sijing, Li Yueru, Yang Liwei, Zhang Ru, Huang Sijing, Li Yuan, Han Xu, Li Meng, Wang Lili, Li Yifan and Pan Zhenqi will eventually be selected for the 12-person roster of the Chinese women's basketball team, Jin Weina, Luo Xintang, Yang Hengyu, Gao Song are likely to just accompany the run, Yang Shuyu has a certain possibility of being selected for the new Chinese women's basketball national team.
This time Yao Ming can say that he has made a cruel hand, let the Chinese women's basketball team meritorious coach Xu Limin leave the class, and helped Zheng Wei of the Inner Mongolia women's basketball team to serve as the new head coach of the Chinese women's basketball team, that is, he hopes that the Chinese women's basketball team will not repeat the mistakes of the Olympic Games in the World Cup, and believe that this year's women's basketball World Cup, the Chinese women's basketball team will definitely achieve good results.
