Yesterday, the Chinese women's basketball team announced a new training squad to prepare for the upcoming 2024 Paris Olympics women's basketball qualifying tournament. In this list, we see many familiar names, and they are the backbone of the Chinese women's basketball team. Li Meng, Han Xu and Li Yueru, as core players, have always been the pillars of the Chinese women's basketball team with their excellent personal ability and rich game experience. The other 12 players, such as Wang Siyu and Pan Zhenqi, are also leaders in each team, and their strength should not be underestimated.
It is worth mentioning that in this training camp, Wu Tongtong, who was injured in the championship match between the Chinese team and the United States women's basketball team in the 2022 Women's Basketball World Cup final, returned to the national team. In this season's WCBA, Wu Tongtong made a comeback in the 21st round of the regular season on December 13, showing his strong attacking power, starting again from two relatively large injuries, and averaging 14.7 points per game in the 6 games after his comeback.
Another teacher of the Shijiazhuang women's basketball team, who became famous at this year's Chengdu Universiade and is currently one of the most popular players in the WCBA, was unfortunately absent from the national team squad. There is no doubt that Mr. Zhang's accurate three-point shot and sweet appearance make her super popular among fans, but the current Chinese women's basketball team is in its golden generation, which can be said to be full of talents. Although it is a pity that Mr. Zhang was defeated, for fans who like Mr. Zhang, they can still see Mr. Zhang Jingyi galloping on the field on the stage of WCBA.
The fifteen players selected for the squad in this issue are Wang Siyu, Li Yuan, Pan Zhenqi, Zhang Ru, Luo Xinqi, Jin Weina, Tang Yu, Huang Sijing, Yang Liwei, Yang Shuyu, Chen Mingling, Wu Tongtong, Li Yueru and other 15 outstanding players. Some of them are experienced veterans, and some are newcomers full of potential, but they all have a common goal: to win glory for the Chinese women's basketball team.
Of course, for those newcomers, this training camp is also a rare opportunity. They can improve their skills and experience through training and competition, and at the same time, they can learn how to work with their teammates Xi strengthen team cohesion. Only in this way can the Chinese women's basketball team go further in future games and continue to be strong.
The training camp will start on January 3, and the Chinese women's basketball team will carry out a series of intensive training, aiming to improve the technical and tactical level and tacit understanding of the players. At the beginning of February, the Chinese women's basketball team will face the challenge of qualifying, playing against New Zealand, France and Puerto Rico women's basketball teams. Only the top three teams in the group will qualify for the main event of the Paris Olympics, which is a daunting task and a challenge.
As a loyal fan of the Chinese women's basketball team, we have full confidence in this team. Under the leadership of Li Meng, Han Xu and Li Yueru, the team will be able to strive for three consecutive victories and advance to the main match of the Paris Olympics with high morale, excellent skills and tactics and tacit cooperation. At the same time, we are looking forward to other players who can reach their potential and contribute more to the team.
Overall, this training camp roster is full of hope and anticipation. We believe that under the leadership of Li Meng and Han Xu, the Chinese women's basketball team will be able to achieve good results. And those newcomers will also inject new vitality and hope into the Chinese women's basketball team. Let's look forward to the performance of the Chinese women's basketball team in the Paris Olympics qualifying round!
