On February 12, Beijing time, the women's basketball world preliminary tournament continued to play, 84-64, the Chinese women's basketball team in the world preliminary round of the second battle victory over Mali, two consecutive wins at the same time, according to the group's top three promotion rules, in advance of the round to lock the tickets for the 2022 women's basketball World Cup.
In this campaign, from the perspective of the trend of the first half, the confrontation of the Mali women's basketball team, forcing to create certain troubles, but under the outbreak of Li Meng's third quarter, through three-pointers and continuous personal stringing, successfully suppressed the counterattack of the Mali women's basketball team, its own personal ability, to help the Chinese women's basketball team create an advantage, further killing the suspense of the game.
Li Meng got 15 points and 6 assists of the data, almost all the points are extremely critical, even in the high-intensity forced, can activate teammates through the way of passing, which is very representative, but also a further embodiment of their own ability, 27-year-old Li Meng, has entered his own era.
For the 33-year-old Shao Ting to leave the Chinese women's basketball team, from the level of ability, it is certainly not yet the age of retirement, but considering the needs of the Paris Olympic Games, Shao Ting is obviously not part of the future plan, and Li Meng is a golden age athlete in this cycle, with excellent physical confrontation, stable three-point shooting, and one-handed ability to fill the limited physical quality of Yang Liwei and Li Yuan, Li Meng can be used as the No. 4 position, which is the tactical system that has not appeared in the Chinese women's basketball team for a long time in the past. The 6 assists in this campaign are very good proof, when Li Meng's personal ability can attract defense, the opponent wants to defend through the bag clip, or a big delay, she can pass the ball to further reflect her value.
The Chinese women's basketball team in the Tokyo Olympic Games, did not have the opportunity to impact the medal results, once caused a heated discussion among fans, the biggest advantage of this women's basketball team is definitely the internal line, Li Yueru as the main end of the strong point, but in the decisive moment, or the level of the hard battle, the current Li Yuan, Yang Liwei has not yet proved themselves, in the face of the European strong team period, with the ability to stand alone, which in the knockout match in Serbia, but also encountered the black fourth quarter, the two even basically hold the ball through the half is extremely difficult, Not to mention further handing the ball over to Li Yueru. In the final of the Asian Cup, in the face of the Japanese women's basketball team, almost half of the Japanese women's basketball team, the backcourt created was tight, so that the defender line of the Chinese women's basketball team was subjected to very large rotation pressure.
In this regard, if you want to make great progress and adjustments to the defensive line in the Olympic cycle in Paris, it is difficult for Yang Liwei and Li Yuan to do this, but Li Meng, who is in the forward position, has become the new leading sister and contributes his strength in all aspects of the team. Involving the young Li Yueru is a link in the core, and the distance to determine the trend of the game is still Li Meng as the absolute core.
