With the FIBA announced the schedule of the Women's Basketball World Cup Qualifiers, the Chinese women's basketball team also started their journey early, they will meet the challenges of Nigeria, Mali and France in the Belgrade Division of Serbia, and among these three teams, only the French women's basketball team is stronger than us in the world ranking, according to the schedule and promotion rules, we only need to win one game to basically lock in the qualification for the main tournament. At 22:00 on February 10, the two sides began to compete, and finally with the good play of the whole team, the women's basketball debut was 90:76, with a small victory of 14 points, Li Meng rained three points.
In this game, we sent the starting lineup for Yang Liwei, Li Meng, Wang Siyu, Huang Sijing, Li Yueru, and the strength gap between our starting lineup and the substitute lineup is not very large, Han Xu and Li Yueru are two players of different styles, so they only choose who to start according to the opponent's situation. In the first half, the Chinese women's basketball team led the opponent by 18 points, and Li Meng scored 5 three-pointers, as if Curry was possessed. In the second half, Nigeria's No. 0 performed well, but the difference between the two sides was too large, and even chasing points could not change the outcome of the loss.
In this game we did not see the figure of Coach Xu Limin, instead of her command is Coach Zheng Wei, but Coach Zheng's coaching level is still debatable, although the women's basketball team is a big victory, but in the fourth quarter by the opponent continuously chased points, the other side stopped the Chinese women's basketball team many times, the point difference should have been even greater, but to be able to win is a happy thing, after all, although the opponent is weak, it is also the world's 15th ranked team, and we basically locked the qualification for the Women's Basketball World Cup. The next two games were held late at night, and I hope that the women's basketball team can adjust to the state and continue to work hard.
