At ten o'clock tonight, the new Chinese women's basketball team will meet the first opponent of the World Preliminary Round Nigeria women's basketball team in Belgrade, and returning to Belgrade should be a blessing for the Chinese women's basketball team to revisit, last year's Olympic qualifiers, the Chinese women's basketball team lost its home stadium due to the epidemic and was forced to expedition to Belgrade, and the result was that the Chinese women's basketball team won all three games here and got the Olympic ticket in advance. At present, the Chinese women's basketball team ranks seventh in the world, and the Nigerian women's basketball team ranks seventeenth in the world, it should be said that the gap between the two sides is still very obvious, this western expedition, for the Chinese women's basketball team is not much pressure, the group stage four teams compete, there are three teams can qualify, Belgrade division four teams are China, France, Nigeria and Mali. Nigeria and Mali are definitely one notch worse than the Chinese women's basketball team in terms of strength, so for the Chinese women's basketball team, there is no pressure to qualify, and the main opponent is the French team. However, because it is a new women's basketball team, this tournament still has a lot to watch.
First of all, how can the women's coach lead the team bring to the Chinese women's basketball team? The Chinese women's basketball team, like the women's football team, changed the coach after the Olympic Games, Zheng Wei guided the structure of Xu Limin's coaching whip, and the Chinese women's basketball team rarely led the team to the team with a female coach. The Chinese women's football team has proved that changing the coach is like changing the knife, and the women's football team led by Shui Qingxia has changed its old appearance and changed the decline in the Olympic Games for the first time in sixteen years. Although the women's football team did not lose in the Olympic Games, but obviously did not meet expectations, after the Olympic Games to participate in the Asian Cup, but also at the last moment to drop the chain, in the case of obvious superiority in strength, but once again the champion surrendered, realistically speaking, the Chinese women's basketball team under the guidance of Xu Limin, although the overall strength has been greatly improved, and also maintained a relatively stable state, but this team always gives people the feeling that something is missing at a critical moment, especially from the Olympic Games to the Asian Cup Process, Xu Limin's guidance of himself seems to have entered a bottleneck period, and it is always difficult to let the team go to a higher level, which should also be another important reason for Xu Limin to leave the coaching position in addition to physical reasons.
Zheng Wei's coaching has been Xu Limin's assistant all these years, there is certainly no problem in terms of familiarity with the team, and many things should also be in the same vein to maintain the stability of the team, which will not be flawed, the key point is what kind of change she can bring to this team, whether this change can make the team really open the second vein of Ren Dou, rather than always feeling bad. This should be the most concerned by the fans.
The second focus should be on the performance of the newcomers, this tournament, the new Chinese women's basketball team not only has a new head coach to coach, but also two newcomers Yang Shuyu and Jin Weina selected. Veteran Wang Lili also returned to the national team. In the Tokyo Olympic cycle, the lineup of the combination of the new and old of the Chinese women's basketball team should be said to be very reasonable, the two major internal lines of the twin towers Han Xu and Li Yueru have grown up, the front line is Li Meng, Gao Song and other veterans, and the defender line Li Yuan Wang Siyu Yang Liwei is also a combination of new and old. Veterans are not old and newcomers mature.
The newcomer to focus on this event should be Yang Shuyu, a young player with a brilliant experience in olympic three-person basketball who has grown into the new core and new leader of the Guangdong women's basketball team. With super popularity, is the new idol player created by the Guangdong women's basketball team, from the highlight performance of three-person basketball to the five-a-side basketball arena, her performance is certainly worth looking forward to, whether she can play her own space in the national team like her sister Yang Liwei, or surpass her sister to play a higher status, these will be full of unknowns, but from the perspective of personal technical characteristics, she is obviously the current team urgently needed type of player, in the case of Li Meng's injury plagued by Gao Song and other age-plagued situations, Whether she can quickly integrate her own shooting into the team is an important point of view.
Of course, from the three games of this western expedition, the most interesting is still the competition with the French team, perhaps the victory or defeat of this game is of little significance for the two teams to qualify, but for the Chinese women's basketball team and this kind of equal opponent between the competition is really the time to play the content of the game, it can be said that the Chinese women's basketball team can hand over what kind of answer sheet, depending on the process of this game, both sides win or lose in the reasonable, the result will be accidental, and the game process is really there will be no accidents, The process never deceives people, and the reason why women's football is sought after by fans is because they won the Asian Cup and won the process, and the quality of the game was relatively high. I hope that the women's basketball team can also replicate this experience.
However, it is regrettable that the event CCTV will still not be live broadcast, according to the live broadcast information provided by FIBA, the women's basketball World Cup qualification tournament will be broadcast live on the official website of FIBA FIBA, THE official Weibo of FIBA, Douyin and Toutiao, and the Chinese basketball team has also set up a live broadcast entrance on the double micro platform. Fans can still watch through a variety of channels.
