When Shao Ting and Li Mengjun are absent from the Women's Basketball Asian Cup, who plays the outside attack arrow of the Chinese women's basketball team? 26-year-old Yang Liwei became such an "answer", she once scored 10 points in the first quarter to show the offensive explosiveness, the whole game was played in 18 minutes and 32 seconds, has contributed 21 points, 5 assists and 5 steals of 7 of 9 all-round data, of which the score and steals are the highest values in the whole game, becoming the sharpest offensive point of the Chinese women's basketball team.
As one of the main players of the Chinese women's basketball team, Yang Liwei has already won the gold medal at the Jakarta Asian Games with the national team as early as 2018, and last season helped the Inner Mongolia women's basketball team win the WCBA championship, and this summer also followed the Chinese women's basketball team to the Tokyo Olympic Games.
This women's basketball Asian Cup because it is the first intercontinental event in the Paris Olympic cycle, Shao Ting and Sun Mengran two veterans are absent due to injury, Li Meng also did not have the opportunity to participate, the overall lineup of the Chinese women's basketball team is mainly young, naturally it is also a key moment to test young players.
Lacking Shao Ting and Li Meng, two core players outside the world, the overall strength of the Chinese women's basketball team is still crushing the Philippine women's basketball team, after all, in the past 3 international competitions, the Chinese women's basketball team has averaged more than 60 points per game. The first opponent of this Asian Cup encountered the Philippine women's basketball team, and Yang Liwei became the number one weapon of the Chinese women's basketball team.
Shortly after the start of the first quarter, Yang Liwei continued to attack the inside line to score, not only to make the opponent's defense helpless with consecutive shots, but also to create a three-point long-range shooting threat on the outside. Yang Liwei once scored 10 points in the first quarter, helping the Chinese women's basketball team to set the tone for the Philippine women's basketball team early.
It is worth mentioning that Yang Liwei only appeared in the first quarter of the game for 5 minutes and 18 seconds, and she has already scored 10 points, 2 assists and 2 steals of all-round data, which can be called an attack and pass defense to comprehensively crush the opponent.
In the following games, Yang Liwei deliberately reduced the number of his offensive shots on the offensive end, but it was still a very inexplicable offensive weapon. Yang Liwei's 7-of-9 crosshairs were extremely efficient, in addition to the outside three-pointer of 3 of 1, her two-point shots of 6 of 6 were not false, and the free throws were 6 of 7, allowing her to finally blast the highest score of the game.
