Internationally, the prestige of the Chinese women's basketball team is even greater than that of the men's basketball team.
Since entering the Olympic Games in 1992 and winning the silver medal, the Chinese women's basketball team has been indispensable in the world's major basketball competitions.
Until today, the Chinese women's basketball team is still strong, and in last year's Asian Games, the Chinese women's basketball team defeated the Japanese women's basketball team and won the championship.
The reason why the Chinese women's basketball team has been able to prosper for a long time is because of the hard work of the following five stars.
They not only have first-class skills, but also led the team to break into various competitions many times, and also laid a solid foundation for the development of the Chinese women's basketball team.
So let's take a look at who these five top stars are!
The female version of "Chris Paul" - Wang Siyu
Wang Siyu, the soul of the women's basketball team.
Although he is only 1.75 meters tall, he has a big heart.
In the women's basketball team, Wang Siyu's physical condition can only be regarded as the lower middle level, and was once rejected by the Shanghai youth team because of his short stature.
In order to make up for the disadvantage of height, Wang Siyu can only work hard in other aspects.
She has a very fast start and a good ability to bounce, which is also a big feature of her.
On the field, Wang Siyu, as a guard, is an absolute brain, organizing attacks, coordinating defense, and stealing fast attacks are all Wang Siyu's forte.
Although he does not have top-level physical conditions, Wang Siyu has developed a top-notch ball quotient by relying on his love for basketball for many years.
Many netizens called Wang Siyu the female version of "Chris Paul".
The difficulties encountered by the 1.83-meter-tall Paul in the NBA are similar to Wang Siyu, the styles of the two are extremely similar, and the body can't play, so play with the brain.
Wang Siyu's vision is very good, and he can seize the gap to pass the ball to the right person to help score.
At the same time, she is also the icebreaker of the team, when the two sides are anxious and unable to break through the status quo, Wang Siyu always dares to be the first to stand up, throw that key ball, and take all the responsibility in her own hands.
Now Wang Siyu is still playing in the national team, and the Chinese women's basketball team is also shining in international competitions under the leadership of Wang Siyu.
She finished fifth at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, runner-up at the 2022 Women's Basketball World Cup, won the 2023 Asian Cup, and was also the champion at the Hangzhou Asian Games in the same year.
This generation of Chinese women's basketball talents has produced many talents, but Wang Siyu is undoubtedly the soul of many talents.
Stadium "Great Wall" - Chen Nan
If you ask which position is the most dangerous in basketball, it must be the No. 5 center.
This is also the position of high-intensity "hand-to-hand combat" on the court, it is the last great wall on the defensive end, and it is also a powerful heavy weapon when attacking.
And Chen Nan has played such a position for many years.
In the Chinese women's basketball team, Chen Nan is undoubtedly the main force, with a height of 1.97 meters, outstanding skills and outstanding strength.
At the age of 17, Chen Nan was selected for the national team, and when he went to South Korea as a foreign aid, Chen Nan overwhelmed the crowd and directly won the scoring and rebounding king.
In just one year, Chen Nan has become the main player of the national team.
Although the physical condition is already very good, Chen Nan trains very hard, and the center generally faces disadvantages such as too fast physical exertion and slow movement speed, but Chen Nan has greatly overcome the physical defects.
Chen Nan is always the most active one on the inside, and her excellent performance in the Olympics also made the Chicago Sky team of the United States take a fancy to it, becoming one of the few women's basketball players to join the WNBA.
Chen Nan's contribution to the team is undoubted, she is like a reassuring pill for the team, and seeing her makes people feel down-to-earth.
In 1999, Chen Nan was the most valuable player in the Asian Youth Championships, and he helped the team win the championship many times in the national team.
Champion of the 2004 Asian Championship, champion of the National Women's Basketball League, and semi-finals of the 08 Beijing Olympics. The Chinese women's basketball team has been able to make miraculous achievements repeatedly, and Chen Nan's efforts are indispensable.
In the game, Chen Nan started almost every game, and his contribution to the women's basketball team is absolutely impossible to ignore!
In 2013, Chen Nan retired due to childbirth, but in 2016, Chen Nan made a comeback and sent the Chinese team to the Rio Olympics.
But because of his age, Chen Nan, who loves basketball, could only be forced to retire in the end.
The "best pitcher" of 1.66 meters - Cong Xuedi
Cong Xuedi, a national team defender who is only 1.66 meters tall.
Cong Xuedi is definitely a very special player, if Wang Siyu's height of 1.75 meters is a disadvantage, then Cong Xuedi's height can only be said to be a defect.
But what is surprising is that Cong Xuedi has made a name for herself in the Chinese women's basketball team and is still the "best pitcher" in the country.
The most unforgettable thing for many people is still the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, Cong Xuedi represented the national women's basketball team, and activated the whole team by organizing the team in the case of a sluggish team.
In the Olympics that year, Cong Xuedi averaged 10.8 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 2.8 assists per game, making great contributions to the team.
Since then, Cong Xuedi has also become the absolute core of the Chinese team, and Cong Xuedi has not disappointed everyone, every time she needs her, she will stand up.
In 1992, Cong Xuedi played 23 minutes in the Olympic Games, scored 20 points directly, and led the team to the finals.
This Olympics directly established Cong Xuedi's position in the Chinese women's basketball team, and the semifinals sent Cuba back to her hometown with a score gap of 39 points.
Cong Xuedi's three-point shooting was 5 of 8, so that the Cuban team had to keep a tight eye on this little man.
But Cong Xuedi's vision is very good, and she can always pull out open space for her teammates and pass the ball accurately.
This game became the greatest victory in the history of the Chinese women's basketball team, and it was also the peak moment of Cong Xuedi, but unfortunately, Cong Xuedi announced her retirement in 1993.
But after retiring, she did not stay away from basketball, choosing to become a basketball coach and later serving as a national team coach.
Cong Xuedi is one of the 50 outstanding Chinese basketball players and a well-deserved top player in the history of Chinese women's basketball.
"Chinese Female Kobe!" - Miao Lijie
"Chinese female Kobe Bryant!"
Many people know that Black Mamba Kobe is a very ornamental game, and his step-back jumper is picturesque. But I didn't know that China's Miao Lijie's movements were also clean and beautiful.
If Kobe Bryant is the star of the Lakers, then Miao Lijie can be said to be the star of the Chinese team.
On the field, Miao Lijie is always the one with the most energy, one game is more energetic, and there is a ruthlessness of "insisting on Qingshan and not relaxing".
Since entering the national team in 1997, Miao Lijie has been the absolute main force of the team and has made outstanding contributions in international competitions many times.
In 2008, Miao Lijie "regarded death as home" and relied on his ruthlessness to help the team win the semi-finals of the Olympic Games.
In addition, Miao Lijie was also favored by the WNBA and is the third female star to play in the United States.
Miao Lijie's career total score in the WCBA is more than 6,000 points, more than 2,000 points more than the second place, and he is an absolute scorer.
Miao Lijie once thought that he could be regarded as the female version of Jordan, this sentence may be arrogant by others, but Miao Lijie can take responsibility.
In the 21st century, the Chinese women's basketball team can be so strong precisely because of Miao Lijie.
However, in addition to Miao Lijie's outstanding talent, she always trains hard day after day, and she will always practice a little more than others, so she can prosper for a long time, and in the WCBA, she has been the scoring champion for four consecutive seasons.
In October 2023, Miao Lijie was inducted into the list of the Chinese Basketball Hall of Fame for her outstanding contributions, and there should be a strong stroke in the history of women's basketball!
The "top ruler" of the stadium - Zheng Haixia
If the above have left a strong mark on the Chinese women's basketball team, then Zheng Haixia has an absolute position in the world women's basketball team.
As a centre-forward, she has a top-level dominance on the inside, winning a bronze medal on her first Olympic debut.
In the preliminaries of the 1986 World Women's Basketball Championship, Zheng Haixia performed brilliantly and became the best center of that year.
In the event that gathers the world's top female basketball players, Zheng Haixia can still stand out and build the Great Wall of China with flesh and blood on the inside.
Zheng Haixia's fame in the last century was so great that even Yao Ming had to call out the old-timers when he saw it.
The Chinese women's basketball team also has a name in the world because of Zheng Haixia.
Zheng Haixia has played in 4 Olympic Games in her career and is a well-deserved founder of women's basketball.
In 1997, Zheng Haixia entered the WNBA, killed all sides on the court, and was once the idol of the big shark O'Neal.
There are many tall female players, but it is very rare to find a player like Zheng Haixia with excellent skills, fast movement and strong bounce.
She is full of oppression when she stands on the inside line, and there is a ruthlessness that is not angry and self-threatening.
Zheng Haixia has won countless honors in her career, and she is very famous all over the world, and even opened up the era of Zheng Haixia for a time.
After entering the WNBA, Zheng Haixia played for the Los Angeles Sparks and played a total of 34 games, 23 of which were starters, which is enough to see the team's trust in Zheng Haixia.
But unfortunately, in 1998, Zheng Haixia had to choose to retire because of injury.
Throughout the latter part of her career, Zheng Haixia suffered from back injuries and leg injuries, and her weight also overwhelmed her knees and prevented her from walking for long periods of time, let alone high-intensity games.
postscript
In the history of China's women's basketball team, there are countless people who have "shed their blood" for it, although they are not on the list, but it cannot be denied that they have made outstanding contributions to the women's basketball team.
So who are the top actresses in your heart?
