On February 14, Beijing time, the women's basketball World Cup qualifier Belgrade Division B game has come to a successful end, the Chinese women's basketball team performed very well in this world preliminary round trip, the first game of the group stage Chinese women's basketball team 90-76 easily defeated the African powerhouse Nigeria, the second game of the Chinese women's basketball team 84-64 victory over Mali. In the last game, facing the European powerful French women's basketball team, Huang Sijing broke out, slashing 30 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists, Wang Siyu got 10 points, 8 rebounds and 15 assists, under the leadership of them, the Chinese women's basketball team won 103-70 against the opponent, thus ranking first in the group with an unbeaten record of three consecutive wins and successfully advancing to the World Cup.
Huang Sijing is the biggest surprise of the Chinese women's basketball team's trip to the World Preliminary Tournament, she performed very prominently in three group games, averaging 16.3 points, 8.3 rebounds and 6.7 assists per game, and was selected as the best team in the group and was also elected the group MVP. And Li Yueru's performance is also very good, she got 19 points and 6 rebounds in the first game, 21 points and 11 rebounds in the second game, 10 points and 7 rebounds in the third game, and averaged 16.7 points and 8 rebounds per game, so she was also selected for the best team in the group.
The Chinese women's basketball team can get such an excellent record in the World Preliminary Tournament, or thanks to Xu Limin, after Xu Limin coached the Chinese women's basketball team, the team has made visible progress, the Chinese women's basketball team reached the top 8 of the Olympic Games at the Tokyo Olympic Games, and last year's Asian Cup Chinese women's basketball team played with Japan until the last moment, regrettably lost. Under the coaching of Xu Limin, the Chinese women's basketball team has unearthed outstanding players such as Yang Liwei, Han Xu, Huang Sijing, and Li Yueru. Previously, Xu Limin did not lead the team to go out because of the rupture of the Achilles tendon.
From these three games, it can also be seen that the three-point shooting rate of the Chinese women's basketball team has increased very obviously, and the Chinese women's basketball team has shot a total of 77 times outside the three-point ball in three games, and hit 28 times, and the three-point shooting rate has reached a staggering 49.3%, and it is the divine accuracy of the three-point ball that has enabled the Chinese women's basketball team to beat France, the world's top five strong opponents. In the Final of the Asian Cup in October last year, the Chinese women's basketball team shot only 30% of the three-point shot. In less than half a year, the three-point shooting rate of the Chinese women's basketball team has improved so much. This can only show that after the Chinese women's basketball team lost to Japan in the Asian Cup, they were ashamed and brave, and through hard training, they constantly improved their projection ability. The outstanding performance of the Chinese women's basketball team in this World Preliminary Tournament is also reminiscent of the Chinese men's basketball team, which has a very bad record in recent years, and last year it was even more unsuccessful in the Olympic Games. Therefore, fans suggest that Du Feng and the Chinese men's basketball team should collectively watch the game of the Chinese women's basketball team and study it well.
Although the Chinese women's basketball team performed well in this World Preliminary Tournament, the old problem of their mistakes at key moments has not been solved, and I hope that the Chinese women's basketball team can solve this shortcoming as soon as possible and strive to achieve good results in the World Cup.
