The Chinese women's basketball team recently experienced a series of ups and downs in a match against the French women's basketball team. At first, they performed well and even led their opponents at one point. However, the progress of the game gradually revealed some problems. First of all, in the game, the Chinese women's basketball team started with a lot of potential, especially in the first quarter, when they had the upper hand with a 3-point lead. At this stage, Pan Zhenqi became the highlight of the team with his outstanding performance. However, as the game progressed, the Chinese women's basketball team began to encounter difficulties, especially in the third quarter. It was at this moment that Li Yuan had to leave the field due to an ankle injury, which undoubtedly had a big impact on the overall rhythm of the team. At the same time, the French women's basketball team increased its defensive intensity, resulting in the Chinese women's basketball team scoring only 2 points in the third quarter, which was quite a frustrating performance. This loss of points has made it rare for the Chinese women's basketball team to become Zheng Wei's head coach.
Li Yuan's injury retirement is a huge blow to the Chinese women's basketball team. Although Li Yuan's performance in recent games has not been ideal, she still plays a crucial role in the Chinese women's basketball team. While it is hoped that her injury will not have much impact on the upcoming Asian Cup matches, Li Yuan's departure is undoubtedly a serious setback. At the same time, the performance of substitute Yang Shuyu was not satisfactory, and she failed to give enough support to the team at key moments.
It more deeply reflects the problem facing the Chinese women's basketball team on the inside. Although Han Xu may return in time, the Chinese women's basketball team is still stretched thin in terms of substitutes and No. 4 position. This caused Zheng Wei to readjust her tactics, focusing the team on the outside line, hoping for the scoring ability of the outside players.
All in all, the Chinese women's basketball team has experienced a series of challenges in recent matches, including a lack of bright starts, Li Yuan's injury and internal problems. These issues need to be addressed before the Asian Cup, otherwise the team will face even greater challenges. To achieve good results, the Chinese women's basketball team needs to face and solve these problems to ensure that the team continues to remain competitive in future competitions.
