Late last night, the Chinese women's basketball team announced the 12-member squad for the Paris Olympic Qualifying Tournament, with Wang Fang as the team leader and the original referee Song Houlu as the translator.
The vast majority of the 12-man squad for the Paris Olympic Qualifying Tournament this time are old faces, led by players who have played overseas such as Li Meng, Li Yueru and Han Xu. There are a total of 15 people on the training list, and in the end, Jin Weina, Tang Yu, and Chen Minglian failed to enter the squad.
The final list of 12 people is: Li Yuan, Wang Siyu, Wu Tongtong, Yang Liwei, Yang Shuyu, Li Meng, Zhang Ru, Huang Sijing, Pan Zhenqi, Luo Xinqi, Li Yueru, Han Xu.
It is worth mentioning that this time, there is one person who was selected again after a 2-year absence, and she is Wu Tongtong, who is known as the little steel cannon. The women's basketball girl had a rough fate, when she participated in the World Cup in 2022, she ruptured her anterior fork ligament and injured her meniscus, although she recovered after surgery, but on February 8, 2023, Wu Tongtong also ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament in her right leg during physical recovery and shooting training, and she finally missed the important games of the Women's Basketball Asian Cup and the Hangzhou Asian Games. On December 13 last year, Wu Tongtong made a comeback after 438 days. Zheng Wei still took a good look at her in this training camp, and brought her to the Olympic Games again after more than a year.
However, there is also one person who has been controversial in the selected squad this time, that is, Yang Shuyu, and some fans commented that Xiao Yang is really a human match! Fans believe that Kim Weina is more capable of being in the squad. What do you think about this?
The women's basketball qualifying tournament for the Paris Olympics will be held in Xi'an from February 8 to 11, with China competing with France, Puerto Rico and New Zealand for three qualifying places. It is not a problem to get a place in the qualification according to the strength of the Chinese women's basketball team, it depends on whether the women's basketball team can win three consecutive victories.
