There are less than ten days left before the 2023 Women's Basketball Asian Cup, and many teams, including our Chinese women's basketball team, have rushed to Sydney, Australia, where the Women's Basketball Asian Cup is held. At the same time, because the top four of this year's Women's Basketball Asian Cup can directly get tickets to the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, including the Japanese women's basketball team, the Australian women's basketball team and the South Korean women's basketball team have decided to send the strongest team to participate in the Asian Cup. However, just as the Asian Cup is about to start, there is bad news from our Chinese women's basketball team.
According to domestic basketball star Song Xiang, the Chinese women's basketball team Yang Liwei, Li Meng and Han Xu will represent the Chinese women's basketball team in the Women's Basketball Asian Cup, except for Li Yueru and Huang Sijing. Fans know that Yang Liwei's side has already met with the Chinese women's basketball team in Serbia, Han Xu also flew to Australia to prepare for the Chinese women's basketball team, and Li Meng's side will return to the Chinese women's basketball team after today's game. The Chinese women's basketball team is about to complete the main lineup, but I didn't expect that at this time, the famous Song Xiang suddenly reported that the two big players Li Yueru and Huang Sijing of this year's Women's Basketball Asian Cup will be absent.
Li Yueru and Huang Sijing are both core level players of the Chinese women's basketball team, Li Yueru and Han Xu form the inner twin towers of the Chinese women's basketball team, the two have completely different styles, Han Xu is good at medium and long-range projection, and the ability to protect the frame is also very outstanding, but also because the body is relatively thin, the confrontation ability is average, when facing the opponent has a strong inside, Han Xu is very difficult to fight. Li Yueru, on the other hand, is a traditional center forward, her body is very strong and can complete the inside strong attack.
But in the WCBA finals, Li Yueru was injured, after the domestic doctor diagnosed that Li Yueru's injury was not serious, rest and rest for 2-3 weeks can be recovered, but when it came to Australia for rehabilitation, it was found by Australian doctors, in fact, Li Yueru's injury is three torn cruciate ligaments, the degree of tear is basically equivalent to breaking, Australian doctors gave Li Yueru at least ten weeks of rest and rest, ten weeks later can barely rub you on running and jumping training. After meeting with the United States and Chicago Sky, the results of the inspection in the United States were consistent with those in Australia, Li Yueru was so seriously injured that she naturally could not risk returning to participate in the Asian Cup, which was also not allowed by the Chinese women's basketball team.
Huang Sijing's situation is similar to Li Yueru, in fact, Huang Sijing has always been injured, but in the past two years, the national team has a heavier task, the Olympics is followed by the World Cup, followed by the WCBA League, Huang Sijing has been leading the Inner Mongolia women's basketball team to play the WCBA Finals, and only underwent surgery in the offseason to completely solve the injury problem. It's just that Huang Sijing didn't expect that FIBA suddenly restructured the Olympic qualification, and the top four of this Asian Cup can directly get the Olympic ticket, but Huang Sijing has undergone surgery and is still recovering, naturally unable to return to the team.
Huang Sijing is the forward of the Chinese women's basketball team, she is 1.92 meters tall, the inside can help the center to assist the defense, and the excellent athleticism can also be given to the small players who defend the opponent, and the offensive end Huang Sijing is even more capable, and the accurate three-point shot is the winning weapon of the Chinese women's basketball team.
This women's basketball World Cup, Japan, Australia and South Korea have decided to send the strongest team to play, in the last Asian Cup, the Chinese women's basketball team at least Li Meng, in the Asian Cup final regrettably lost to the Japanese women's basketball team, now directly less Huang Sijing and Li Yueru two generals, get the Asian Cup top four easily, but if the Asian Cup final meets the Japanese women's basketball team again, I am afraid it will be very difficult, and even very likely to make the Japanese women's basketball team achieve 6 consecutive championships in the Asian Cup.
Of course, the current Chinese women's basketball team is completely different, Han Xu, Yang Liwei and Li Meng returned to the team, Zhang Ru, Pan Haoqi are becoming more and more mature, Gao Song is in excellent condition, we have reason to believe that even if it is not the main team, the Chinese women's basketball team still has to fight for the Asian Cup championship.
