Basketball is one of the most popular and attention-oriented sports, in fact, in the women's field, the national women's basketball game has always been quite concerned. In the field of women's basketball, which countries should be included in the world's leading countries? In this article, the author will take stock of the current TOP10 teams according to the latest FIBA Women's Basketball World Ranking List for reference.
10. Turkish women's basketball team
Turkey is a European country with a long history of basketball development, men's basketball and women's basketball professional leagues have a mature operating experience and a system of cultivating talents, the national team has long been world-class, and the NBA players have been trained. Since the 2010 generation, the Turkish women's basketball team has never fallen out of the top 5 at the European Championships. By the way, the current president of the Turkish Basketball Association is the former NBA star Tekoglu.
9. Serbian women's basketball team
The Serbian women's basketball team, which has a former Yugoslav gene, will really rise after 2010. Prior to this, they had been traveling for a long time at both the European Championships and the Olympic Games, or they had not qualified for the finals. After 2010, the Serbian Basketball Association entered a period of reform, and the strength of both men's and women's basketball teams has improved significantly.
In terms of women's basketball, they finished 4th at the 2013 European Championships, setting a record high and qualifying for the World Championships again after 12 years, after which the team further broke through, winning the 2015 European Championships and winning the bronze medal at the 2016 Olympic Games. However, in the past major competition cycle, the momentum and performance of the Serbian women's basketball team have declined.
8. Japanese women's basketball team
The Japanese women's basketball team is a representative team that has performed quite impressively in recent years, supplementing the shortcomings of athletic talent with naturalization, combining small fast spirits and three points well, they won many European teams all the way to the Tokyo Olympics last year, met with the American women's basketball team in the final, and finally won the silver with a difference of 15 points, creating the best competition result in team history.
After last year's Tokyo Olympics, the world ranking of the Japanese women's basketball team also jumped from the original eleventh breath to the current eighth in the world. Once upon a time, Asian basketball looked at China first, then at South Korea. However, at this stage, Japan, which has made great progress in the men's basketball and women's basketball team, may have replaced South Korea as the biggest potential opponent in the Asian scope.
7. Chinese women's basketball team
Looking back at the history of the Chinese women's basketball team, the most glorious time period was from the early 1980s to the mid-1990s. During this period, the Chinese women's basketball team won the second and third places at the World Championships and the Olympic Games, respectively, and belonged to the top teams that may compete for the championship in the competition. After this, the Chinese women's basketball team fell slightly, but it is still the top asian and world-class team.
In the last Olympic Games, the Chinese women's basketball team was fifth, and the previous World Cup was sixth. After advancing to the next World Cup in advance, Li Yueru, the chinese women's basketball team leader, has said that the goal of this session is to strive for the top five, and please look forward to the play of the Chinese women's basketball team.
6. Belgian women's basketball team
Belgium is not a European country that attaches great importance to basketball, and their best result in men's basketball is the European Final Four, which needs to be traced back to the 1947 European Ancient Basketball Championship.
Compared with the men's basketball team, the development of the Belgian women's basketball team is good, and the long-term positioning is a world-class team. At the last Tokyo Olympics, they met the host Japan women's basketball team at eight-in-four, and finally lost by one point and stopped in the quarterfinals.
5. French women's basketball team
The French women's basketball team, which has both height and athletic talent, is a team that has improved significantly in recent years, having only reached the Olympic finals once before the 2012 London Olympics, but by last year's Tokyo Olympics, they reached the final four and defeated European powerhouse Serbia in the bronze medal battle. It is worth mentioning that in the last World Cup, the Chinese women's basketball team lost to France in the 5-6 qualifying round, and finally won the 6th place result.
4. Canadian women's basketball team
Whether it is a men's basketball team or a women's basketball team, Canadians have made rapid progress in the past decade or so, and many basketball players who can stand in the NBA or WNBA have emerged. In fact, in college sports, because of their proximity to the United States, many of Canada's elite athletes also went to the United States early to develop and became talents under the NCAA Association's training system. After entering the 2010 generation, the Canadian women's basketball team has become one of the world's best.
Third, the Australian women's basketball team
When it comes to the Australian women's basketball team, I believe many fans will think of lauren Jackson, a strong center of the women's basketball team who has sparked with Yao Ming, and cambage, a women's basketball legend who has turned to the sea, and also have to mention the Australian classic characteristics of the tight suit.
Similar to the Australian men's basketball team, the Australian women's basketball team has excellent confrontation and tough playing style, and has about half of the WNBA players on the team for many years. At the 2006 World Championships, Australia won the title, becoming the third team in history to win the World Championships, and announced its rise.
At the Olympic Games, the Australian women's basketball team has won the podium four times, three silver medals in 2000, 2004 and 2008, and bronze medals in 1996. Because of its excellent record, the Australian women's basketball team has long been ranked at the forefront of the world, in the 2018 World Cup and the Final of the United States Women's Basketball Team, but it still lost 56-73, and the gap is more obvious. After Campbic faded out of the basketball world, their current strength has declined significantly. At last year's Tokyo Olympics, our Chinese women's basketball team beat the Australian women's basketball team 76-74, and I believe many fans were deeply impressed by this one.
Second, the Spanish women's basketball team
The number of world basketball powers is the United States, and the United States is followed by Spain, whether it is a men's and women's stadium, this situation has been the consensus of fans for a long time. Compared with the Spanish men's basketball team in the talent transition period, the Spanish women's basketball team, which also rose after the nineties, is actually still in its own golden generation.
At last year's Tokyo Olympics, the Spanish women's basketball team lost to the French women's basketball team by 3 points in the quarterfinals and failed to move forward. However, they are the 2016 Olympic silver medalists, in the past three World Cups have been the top three teams, and the points are still enough to keep them in the second place in the world. By the way, when it comes to the Spanish women's basketball team, I believe many people will remember tamara Abard, the first beauty in the basketball world. At present, the 33-year-old has not retired, playing at The Ensino Club in La Liga Basketball League, but has been out of the national team for several years.
First, the United States women's basketball team
Since the establishment of the Olympic women's basketball program in 1976, the U.S. women's basketball team has never fallen off the podium, winning a total of 9 Olympic gold medals, 1 Olympic silver medal, and 1 Olympic bronze medal. In the history of the World Championships, they have participated in 14 times, including 10 championships, 1 asian and 2 seasons.
In the Olympic women's basketball final held last year, the U.S. women's basketball team defeated the host Japan women's basketball team 90-75, winning the 10th crown in team history and the 55th consecutive Olympic victory. In the field of basketball, from the current situation, the strength of the US women's basketball team can be said to be better than the US men's basketball team.
