The first game of the Chinese women's basketball team to participate in the women's basketball world preliminary tournament has ended, the Chinese women's basketball team against the Nigeria women's basketball team, the whole game is over, the Chinese women's basketball team defeated the Nigeria women's basketball team 90-76. From the perspective of the group qualification situation, in fact, after defeating the African champions, one foot has stepped into the World Cup, and the next victory over Mali can be.
In this campaign, the Chinese women's basketball team basically continued the old lineup of the past Xu Limin period, the national team newcomers Yang Shuyu and Wang Lili were not able to enter the big list, the starting lineup of No. 3 Yang Liwei, No. 5 Wang Siyu, No. 9 Li Meng, No. 11 Huang Sijing, No. 14 Li Yueru are basically the past combination.
In this game, the Chinese team can successfully win the opponent, mainly in the relatively hot outside feel, with Li Meng's outside firepower, the whole team hit a total of 14 three-pointers, of which Li Meng is even incarnated as a small Li flying knife, in the second quarter of the opponent's pursuit of points, three-point shots almost 100 shots, consecutive three-point shots to repel the opponent's counterattack. He shot 6-of-10 from three-point range in the game and shot 60 percent from the field. Cut 19 points, 2 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal, while Li Yueru was still a big hit on the inside line, playing 21 minutes and 54 seconds, 8 of 11 shots, cutting 19 points and 6 rebounds; another center, Han Xu, felt even hotter and hotter, shooting six of the first six shots. Played 18 minutes, shot 7-of-9, and scored 15 points and 3 rebounds. The team shot 35-of-61 from the field, shooting 57.38 percent, while shooting 51.85 percent from 14-of-27 three-point range.
However, in this game, although the Chinese women's basketball team has made a good start, the new women's basketball team that took office did not show a new atmosphere, and the old problems of the past still exist. First of all, the offensive threat is insufficient, the Chinese team won in this game in the hot feel, especially the outside three-point shot, the first three quarters of the game, the Chinese team's three-point shooting rate was once as high as 70%, but from the perspective of the whole team's attack, in addition to Li Yueru's basket attack is efficient and threatening, can cause damage, others are more floating outside shooting, is simply relying on the feel to eat, more tactical, targeted things have not been played out at all, that is to say, the game content is not rich, in the second quarter of the game, The number of fouls on both sides was 6-0 and nigeria did not have a single foul. We did have 6 fouls, which is obviously not the performance that a strong team should have all along.
This offensive style to Nigeria's defensive system, there must be a lot of shooting opportunities, but once you meet the European and American strong teams, the difficulty of this style of play can be imagined, once the inside line is li Yueru is sandwiched, the inside line can not be opened, the outside line only relies on the feel to eat is undoubtedly relying on the sky to eat, not to mention the opponent will not give you these opportunities. In the fourth quarter of this game, with the decline in physical strength, the decline in attention and other factors, in the absence of the outside hand, the attack of the Chinese women's basketball team basically stagnated. Therefore, from the overall demand, the ability of the Chinese women's basketball team to hold the ball and attack needs to continue to improve.
The second problem is also the old problem, that is, the lead is lax, the Chinese team in the first quarter of this game has achieved a 15-point lead, but the second quarter once made the opponent shrink in a short period of time to play a number, this situation is even more shocking in the fourth quarter, with an advantage of 27 points into the fourth quarter, the result is a half-time situation, the basket is not scored, continuous mistakes. The opening was beaten 18-6 by the opponent, only 11 points were scored in a single quarter, and the problem of easy crotch pulling in the fourth quarter was not only not solved, but the problem was more serious, and the angry coach Zheng Wei was forced to call a timeout when he sent three soul tortures in a row: "What about the national game as a joke?" Is there such a fight, and what kind of water is put into the fight? This is basically the same thing as the last time the women's basketball team competed in the Olympic Preliminary Round, coach Xu Limin angrily criticized the players on the spot for not being rich. Realistically speaking, the Chinese women's basketball team is lax if it does not solve the lead, and the old problems of easy to drop the chain in the fourth quarter are estimated to be difficult to change.
Victory is gratifying, the problem must also be solved, for the new coach Zheng Wei, this debut is not perfect, such as in the use of the two major centers is not flexible enough, Li Yueru played the first quarter full, the second quarter is obviously a little tired, three consecutive layups do not score, but also sent two fouls, had to passively replace Han Xu, the result is that Han Xu is basically playing two or three quarters, the fourth quarter Li Yueru on the field is obviously not in a state of rest. The whole team has 11 points in a single quarter, which is undoubtedly the level of sleepwalking for the Chinese team, from the perspective of the competition attitude, the Chinese women's football team has given a standard and height in the Asian Cup, and the women's football girls have also won more than 30 million prize money with their attitude, which should be a good yardstick. It's all World Preliminary Tournament level games, and the women's basketball girls should have to work hard!
