If there is a player in this Chinese women's basketball team who dares to fight a hard battle and can win a hard battle, defender Wang Siyu is definitely one. Although Wang Siyu's physical condition is not a very prominent type, she can always burst out of amazing energy under her slightly thin body, and often when facing strong enemies, Wang Siyu presents a state of "the more hard the battle, the more excited" the game. On the 30th, the Chinese women's basketball team eliminated the host Australian women's basketball team 61-59 in the semi-final of the World Cup, and Wang Siyu decided the victory in the last minute of a defense and an attack, which is the epitome of her competition characteristics. As sharp as a scalpel and as cold-blooded as an assassin, this is Wang Siyu.
Wang Siyu is also a small player with great energy. If you have watched the focus battle between the Chinese women's basketball team and the American women's basketball team in the group stage, you will definitely remember Wang Siyu. In the face of strong opponents, Wang Siyu will not be angry, but can release pressure and transform into stronger competition energy. That focus showdown Wang Siyu scored 17 points, second only to the team's highest Li Meng's 21 points. But you know, Wang Siyu and Li Meng are not the same type of player, Li Meng has outstanding physical condition, good at confrontation, and technical masculinity, while Wang Siyu is different, she does not have a strong body like Li Meng, but her basic skills are very solid, and the competition temperament belongs to the type of excellent athletes. Race temperament is more of a talent than something that can be obtained by hard training.
Wang Siyu's words after that match were actually the truest reaction to the characteristics of this game. She wrote on social media: "The other few defenders are the top in the world, the more such a time the more opportunities to show themselves, the World Cup is a platform to show themselves, the more such a moment the more to bloom themselves." In this game, everyone in the team did a good job and played at a higher level than usual. ”
Wang Siyu's competition characteristics have brought great help to the Chinese women's basketball team in many cases. In this semi-final with the Australian women's basketball team, when there was less than a minute and a half left in the final quarter of the game, the Chinese women's basketball team was still 2 points behind, when the Australian women's basketball team controlled the ball, Wang Siyu defended the opposing defender, just when the other party tried to shake Wang Siyu by turning around, she pulled the ball from behind a clean and clean and directly stopped the ball. After that, Wang Siyu quickly counterattacked and passed to Huang Sijing under the basket, who calmly hit the equalizer. This defense shows Wang Siyu's calm judgment on the field and his steadiness and accuracy when he starts.
But more important than that, in the next offensive round, Wang Siyu faced the opponent's defense with a fake action of trying to shoot, causing the opponent to lose the center of gravity, and then she immediately broke through into the inside line, and the opponent could only commit a foul. After that, Wang Siyu steadily hit two points to lock in the victory.
Wang Siyu entered the national team from 2018, she has competed in the 2018 World Cup, the 2018 Asian Games, the 2019 Asian Cup, the 2021 Tokyo Olympic Games and other major competitions, after years of growth, she has become an absolutely trustworthy player in the current team. Wang Siyu put such a sentence on his personal social media: "Tailwinds are not waves, headwinds are not instigated." This is the best portrayal of her current state.
