On February 14, Beijing time, the Chinese women's basketball team faced the Third Olympic Runner-up France team on the third match day of the 2022 FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup Qualifiers. Facing the third place in the Olympic Games, the Chinese women's basketball team scored in double figures with 70-70 victories over france. The Chinese women's basketball team ended the World Preliminary Tournament journey with three wins.
The World Cup qualifiers belgrade hosted two groups, A and B. China is in Group B with France, Nigeria and Mali, and the top three in the group will receive tickets to the World Cup. In the first two qualifying matches, the Chinese women's basketball team first won the opening red with a 90-76 victory over Nigeria, and then defeated the women's basketball Africa Cup runner-up Mali team 84-64. Against France, the Chinese women's basketball team relaxed its mind and led the French team all the way in the case of an early round of promotion to the 2022 Women's Basketball World Cup.
At the end of the first half, the Chinese women's basketball team led the opponent by 14 points 54-40. In the second half, the women's basketball team continued to let the board play one by one in the second half, and extended the advantage to 36 points in the fourth quarter with 94-58.
In the game, Huang Sijing scored a team-high 30 points and 7 rebounds and 6 assists on 11 of 14 shots, Yang Liwei 14 points and 4 assists, Han Xu 12 points, Wang Siyu 10 points, 8 rebounds and 15 assists, Li Yueru 10 points and 7 rebounds, Li Meng 11 points, zhang Ru 10 points.
Huang Sijing averaged 16.3 points, 8.3 rebounds and 6.7 assists per game in 3 games (all three figures were in the top 3 of the team), and averaged 26 super efficiency points per game (1st in the division), and was elected the MVP of the division! At the same time, Huang Sijing and Li Yueru were also selected for the best team in this World Preliminary Tournament, Li Yueru averaged 16.7 points and 8.0 rebounds per game, FIBA wrote on its official website: Li Yueru's threat under the basket has set the tone for the Chinese team.
In the three World Preliminary Tournaments, Huang Sijing's athleticism, scoring ability and creativity were vividly displayed, especially in the last game. Huang Sijing's playing style and technical movements are still surprising, and if you don't believe it, you can take a look.
From this attack, we can see that Huang Sijing's shooting speed is very fast, and the action of receiving the ball and shooting does not drag the mud and water at all, and there is less preparation action when the women's basketball team shoots at a distance in the past.
The following ball can clearly see that Huang Sijing's shooting action and hand style are no different from the shooting actions of the current male basketball players.
Huang Sijing's offensive efficiency that day was quite terrifying, with 6 of 9 three-pointers, a variety of three-point shots, and a three-point shot directly after running to the front court.
If it was slightly inconsistent to say that Huang Sijing played ball and was called "female version of Durant" by fans, then after watching this game, I believe you will accept playing like Durant. In the third quarter of the game, both sides showed excellent game status. The French team blossomed inside and outside, while Huang Siyu broke out in a single quarter, cutting down 17 points.
In addition to shooting, Durant also has a sharp sense of smell in the empty cut running position. In the World Preliminary Round, Huang Sijing's timing of finding a cut is not bad, and the ability to finish under the basket is also quite good. For example, this ball:
Of course, with the development of world basketball, female players who learn the technical movements of male players will naturally not be a very small minority. France's Lisa Berkani used the cover of her teammates to dribble the ball and retreat to hit a three-point shot. In the women's basketball game in the impression, such shots will hardly appear.
France's leading scorer Marin Johannes also has a three-pointer. It is really possible to borrow a cover and throw it away. In the men's basketball game, we can all see the players shooting farther and farther, and the three-point shot after dribbling has almost become the standard for ball-holding stars, and the women's basketball team naturally has to keep up with the trend of world basketball.
Maybe you can blame Stephen Curry for his brilliant circus three-pointers that changed the sport.
Due to the epidemic, the Chinese women's basketball team has not played an international competition for more than half a year, but the Chinese women's basketball team can be said to have made quite adequate preparations for this World Cup qualifier. The women's basketball team has not stopped playing since last year's WCBA League, from the WCBA to the Tokyo Olympic Games, to the National Games, this year's WCBA, and finally to the World Preliminary Tournament.
Before departing for Belgrade, the Chinese women's basketball team also trained at the Shanghai Chongming Training Base for a month, and there was no slack during the New Year.
On February 10, the Chinese women's basketball team faced the Nigerian team without bloodshed and won easily. However, the coach was still cautious and picked faults for the players after the game.
Zheng Wei, the acting head coach of the Chinese team, said after the game: "We have not played an international game for almost half a year, so the players also need a process of adaptation. There are still a lot of problems in attack and defense, and we will continue to summarize and play the next game well. ”
On February 11, the Chinese women's basketball team still won easily against Mali. At the beginning of the game, the Chinese women's basketball team used the internal advantage to play a wave of 15-0 offensive climax. Li Yueru scored a game-high 21 points and 11 rebounds. Huang Sijing handed over a "quasi-triple-double" of 11 points, 14 rebounds and 8 assists.
Zheng Wei said that the players "did a very good job of suppressing strong points" in the game.
Three consecutive wins in World Cup qualifiers are just the beginning. Zheng Wei talked about being able to win three consecutive wins, mainly because the team has been summarizing problems and solving problems. "In this game against the French women's basketball team, the players did their best!" Zheng Wei said.
At the Tokyo Olympics, we saw that the Chinese women's basketball team was only one line away from the world's top teams. Four years ago, the Chinese women's basketball team won the sixth place in the World Cup in Spain. Let's look forward to the Women's Basketball World Cup in Sydney, Australia from September 22 to October 1, 2022, and look forward to the performance of the Chinese women's basketball team.
Huang Sijing said: "I hope we have improved compared to the last World Cup, and the Chinese women's basketball team is not afraid of any opponent!" ”
