In the recently concluded Women's Basketball World Preliminary Tournament, the Chinese team won all three games, especially in the third game, facing the French team with a world ranking higher than itself, the Chinese women's basketball team played a very eye-catching data, with a big victory to give back to the fans. In fact, in the Olympic Games, the Chinese women's basketball team is very regrettable, we won all three games in the group stage, and as a result, we were eliminated by Serbia when we entered the eight into four, that game we have been leading in the first three quarters, and the result was reversed by the opponent in the fourth quarter, Xu Limin was therefore under a lot of pressure, and in the subsequent Asian Cup, the Chinese team was once again reversed by the Japanese women's basketball team in the final, and now the head coach is also replaced by Xu Limin to Zheng Wei.
Recently, FIBA updated the strength list of the Women's Basketball World Cup, the United States women's basketball team ranked first without suspense, and the Chinese women's basketball team rose in the ranking with these three big wins, directly to the second place, which is what many people did not expect, although the Chinese women's basketball Team Olympic Group Stage and the World Preliminary Tournament played well, but after all, it was recently defeated by the Serbian women's basketball team and the Japanese women's basketball team. Behind the Chinese women's basketball team is our old rival Japan women's basketball team, who won the silver medal in the Olympic Games, reversed the Chinese team in the Asian Cup final, and won the Asian Cup five consecutive championships, and now the Japanese women's basketball team has become the main opponent of the Chinese team in Asia.
The second place is the recognition of the Chinese women's basketball team, but it is also a kind of pressure, remember that after the Olympic group stage, the Chinese team became the number one seed of the event, just when everyone was still worried about playing the United States in the semi-finals, I did not expect that the Chinese team was directly eliminated when it entered the four in eight, not to say that the game lost the future, the world is fleeting, some players simply can not play several big games, we need to cherish every opportunity. This time Zheng Wei's guidance also needs to adjust the state of the players before the World Cup, and also choose the list of the national team according to the specific conditions of the game, and strive to achieve good results in the World Cup.
At present, the weakness of the Chinese women's basketball team is the defensive line, the performance of the three major defenders Wang Siyu, Li Yuan, yang Liwei can be said to be inexhaustible, of which Wang Siyu occasionally has a good play, but not stable enough, in the game with France, she got 15 assists, and her performance has gotten better and better recently. Yang Liwei is also not stable enough, especially when facing some strong teams, she has made many mistakes in the Olympic Games, passing mistakes, stepping on the line, dribbling mistakes and so on. As for Li Yuan, her performance can be said to be very stable, stable poor, maybe some old coaches will like this kind of traditional defender, the reputation is good for the overall situation, in fact, there is no shooting, no breakthrough, defense is also very general, has long been unable to keep up with the development trend of basketball, in the game with France, Zheng Wei did not even let Li Yuan play.
In fact, Xu Limin's guidance did lead the Chinese women's basketball team through the most difficult period, but his coaching ability is really not strong, the suspension time is more to give the team members psychological comfort and soul chicken soup, tactical and high-level coaches do have a gap, can not deny the merits he made, but competitive sports are to rely on the results to speak, Zheng Wei has a national team assistant coaching experience, leading the Shandong women's basketball team has also achieved good results, she has the strength of the national team coach, now there are more than 5 months before the World Cup, It is also expected that the Chinese women's basketball team can achieve good results in the World Cup.
