Li Meng could not play, and many fans had two words in their hearts: bad.
Everyone knows that Li Meng is the main firepower point of the front, the offensive responsibility of the Chinese team, and her absence suddenly cast a shadow on the semi-finals.
However, the Chinese team stubbornly defeated Australia, which has the advantage of the home court 61:59, from the perspective of the whole game, the women's basketball team played extremely tenaciously, showing a good tactical quality and fighting spirit, in which the platoon led by head coach Zheng Wei is commendable.
1, the use of people do not doubt - believe in each team member.
The current Chinese women's basketball team and the women's basketball team that won silver at the Barcelona Olympics thirty years ago (Zheng Haixia, Cong Xuedi, Li Xin, Zhan Shuping, Wang Fang, Liu Qing... That batch), the situation is somewhat similar, everyone in the team can fight, there is no so-called "five tiger main generals", the substitute team members go up, the same strong combat effectiveness.
At that time, Li Yaguang used this strategy to win the silver medal.
Today's Zheng Wei, it is also with this strategy that she reached the final.
In each game, we will not play the five main starters, but strengthen the rotation, look at the situation of the opponent, arrange the right personnel, and many times the substitutes are longer than the starters.
Believe in every team member, this is Zheng Wei's strategy, but also the guarantee that the Chinese team can maintain physical strength and defensive strength.
Along the way, successive victories over Belgium, France, Australia and other world-class teams, the use of Chinese teams is not doubtful, large-scale rotation tactics, has achieved great success, it can be clearly seen that the physical fitness of Chinese players, not at all lost to European and American teams, and even exhausted opponents, this "all soldiers" is the best physical support.
It is safe to say that if a few key main forces are, the Chinese team will not go far.
Everyone can play, this is the biggest feature of the strong team, today Li Meng was absent, Jin Weina played more than 30 minutes, although the score is not much, but her strategy, luck, and defense are very good, which is an important part of the tactical system.
Dilana did not play because we did not lack people on the inside, Han Xu played too well, the basket was a pillar of power, and he could be inside and outside, pressing Li Yueru on the bench most of the time.
(Interestingly, Han Xu's head coach at the WNBA, is the current head coach of this Australian team, Sandy, for a season, Han Xu has performed well, but he always can't compete for the starting position, let Sandy see today, how is Han Xu better than you?) ）
2, the use of "art" is not doubtful - adhere to our tactics.
With Belgium, France and Australia, the three hard battles have in common, that is, the Chinese team is lagging behind in the opening stage.
These opponents are all strong teams, their attack power and the technical quality of the team members are very high, and they are very threatening in the opening stage.
However, the Chinese team is behind the situation, tenaciously turned over. The quality of not being impatient and calming when playing against the wind is really amazing.
Why is that?
Listen to what Coach Zheng Wei said during the pause, and maybe you will understand a thing or two.
Director Zheng has the demeanor of a general, never scolding the team members harshly, but meticulously and calmly, clearly telling the team members - what to do next, how do you fight, how do she fight, which direction do you go...
Several times, when she paused to lay out tactics, her first words were: "It's okay..."
A good "it doesn't matter"!
This clearly tells the players that we are fine!
All of a sudden, let the troubled team members calm down and maintain their self-confidence, it doesn't matter! The coach said this, we stick to the tactics, no problem.
Adhere to tactics, this is the style of the Chinese team, we have world-class centers, we have fierce fronts, we have excellent and flexible defenders... Our tactics are internal diversion, external fast and slow combination, all-round attack and defense, each set of tactics, there are strong points that can be relied on.
Just play it, it doesn't matter!
After a few games, no matter how much the Chinese team is behind (including being played 9:0 by the opening of the American team), it has never panicked, the tactics have been played in an orderly manner, the players are not chaotic, not timid, not nervous, keep calm, and the tactics are clear, which has a lot to do with the on-the-spot command guided by Zheng Wei.
When you are behind, if the players are messed up, it is over.
The good news is that the Chinese women's basketball team has never been chaotic, on the contrary, the opponent has been chaotic many times.
The team members have mistakes, and the tactics on the field cannot be opened... There will always be such a situation, Zheng Wei's guidance always encourages the team members in time, and will never replace you immediately if you have a mistake.
The result of this is that every team member is full of confidence, bravely rushes to kill, has no worries, has tactics in mind, and has goals in hand.
Final, keep up the good work, sprint.
Realistically speaking, compared with the American team, there is still a gap in the overall strength of the Chinese team, and we are now in a position to rush, play our own tactical level, and strive to play a highlight.
