Last night, the Chinese women's basketball team ushered in its first game in this year's Women's Basketball World Cup qualifiers, against the Nigerian women's basketball team.
Although Nigeria is the most recent women's basketball Africa Cup champion, the overall strength is still much worse than the Chinese women's basketball team. Without many twists and turns, the Chinese women's basketball team won easily 90-76 and got the opening red. In this game, Li Meng, the main striker of the Chinese women's basketball team, performed brilliantly, scoring 19 points alone, worthy of the "women's version of James".
In addition, Li Yueru, the main center of the Chinese women's basketball team, also scored 19 points, which was very stable. But the most impressive thing is Han Xu, another center of the Chinese women's basketball team. Because of her tall and emaciated body, Han Xu is known as the "female version of Zhou Qi", but her style of play should be a little tougher than Zhou Qi.
Han Xu's mid-range and long-range shooting has improved significantly, and she is very aware of her strengths, so she plays high and does very well. In the third quarter, Han Xu suddenly broke out, scoring in both the mid-range and outside the three-point line, and as long as she raised her hand, nigerian players could not touch her.
Previously, Han Xu had traveled to the United States to play in the WNBA League and performed well in the New York Free Agent women's basketball team. However, in the past two years, it has been inconvenient to go abroad, and the Chinese women's basketball team has many game tasks, so Han Xu has stayed in China to play WCBA games.
It can be seen that Han Xu has improved his personal physical fitness and competition feelings by going abroad to compete. If conditions permit, Han Xu should still be allowed to play another game in the WNBA. In addition, Li Yueru was also selected by the WNBA team, and her signing rights were recently traded by the Atlanta Dream team to the Los Angeles Sparks.
If Han Xu and Li Yueru can go to the WNBA to play, the overall strength of the Chinese women's basketball team may be improved.
