On January 9, Beijing time, after the end of the first phase of the WCBA competition, the Chinese women's basketball team gathered to prepare for the Paris Olympic Games qualifying tournament. Most of the players and coaches of the Chinese women's basketball team held a training opening ceremony together, the whole team raised the national flag together, and all the staff saluted the national flag and sang the national anthem. The Chinese women's basketball team will fight for Olympic qualification.
The women's basketball qualification schedule for the Paris Olympics has been released before, the Chinese women's basketball team is in the same group as France, New Zealand and Puerto Rico, and Xi'an, Shaanxi Province has won the right to host the Olympic qualifying tournament. On February 8, the Chinese women's basketball team will play against New Zealand, on February 10 against the French women's basketball team, and on February 11 against the Puerto Rico women's basketball team.
The qualifying tournament was held during the Spring Festival, and the Chinese women's basketball players could not go home in the Chinese New Year's Eve. However, after the game, they can go home for the rest of the Spring Festival.
The Chinese basketball team posted the latest training photos, and the women's basketball players stood together in the uniforms of the national team, saluted the national flag, and sang the national anthem. Judging from the photos, there are Tang Yu, Pan Zhenqi, Zhang Ru, Yang Shuyu, Zheng Ming, Wu Tongtong, Li Yuan and Zheng Wei in the first row.
Yang Shuyu was in the C position of the team, and Zhang Ru looked serious. In the second row, there are Huang Sijing, Jin Weina, Luo Xinqi and other team members. At present, there are still some players in the Chinese women's basketball team who have not arrived in the team, and Han Xu and Li Meng are not there. In addition, Li Yueru also competed in Turkey.
Li Yueru also played a Turkish league game today, Besiktas defeated Kayseri 99-86, Li Yueru played 25 minutes, 6 of 11 shots, 2 of 3 free throws, contributed 14 points, 5 rebounds, 1 block and 0 turnovers. Li Yueru has maintained a stable form recently, and has repeatedly cut 20+ or hit two doubles. Li Yueru's performance in this battle can be regarded as a relatively average performance recently, which shows how good her condition is.
Li Yueru may be the latest of the Chinese women's basketball team to return to the team, after all, she is the inner core of the Besiktas women's basketball team. Besiktas certainly won't let her leave too soon. Just like Li Meng arrived at the team before the start of the Asian Games, Li Yueru may not wait until the last few days to assemble with the Chinese women's basketball team.
The French women's basketball team, who are the hosts of the Paris Olympics, have already secured an automatic quota place. The Chinese women's basketball team will compete with New Zealand and Puerto Rico for the remaining two spots in this group. The Chinese women's basketball team is stronger than New Zealand and Puerto Rico, and it should not be difficult to qualify for the Olympics.
Of course, the Chinese women's basketball team cannot be careless, Han Xu, Li Meng and Wang Siyuran will be important pillars of the Chinese women's basketball team. When Han Xu and Li Meng arrived in the team, some of the team's tactics could be deployed.
