Although it has successfully entered the Paris Olympics, the current prospects for the women's basketball Olympics are not optimistic. The team was able to win in the knockout round, mainly relying on the personal ability of Li Meng, the absolute core. Being beaten by the French women's basketball team in the Olympic qualifying tournament is not just a matter of women's basketball mentality. The French women's basketball team has made a lot of changes to the lineup, adding four or five big men who can shoot 180+ and are flexible, the defense doesn't let the center receive the ball at the three-point line, covers our small guards, doesn't let the breakthrough and easy pass to the inside, so our stuff can't play at all.
In an interview, women's basketball coach Zheng Wei also clearly emphasized that there have been many problems in these games, and some adjustments will be made to the squad in the future. In this knockout stage, the two national players of the women's basketball team played very badly, and the first to bear the brunt was Wang Siyu in the guard line. Wang Siyu played very badly, he couldn't get rid of the defenders when he broke through, and he was also bad at choosing the route. Wang Siyu herself frequently updated social media after the World Cup, began to take the Internet celebrity route, and frequent exposure in the public eye is not a good thing, her current competitive level has plummeted, if she can't adjust in time, it is estimated that her position in the next Olympic Games will be suspended.
In addition to Wang Siyu, Wu Tongtong should also be replaced, and the level of coming back from a major injury is still much worse. Plus she's no longer young. In view of the lineup and defensive aggression of European teams, these two places can be tried to be replaced by Sun Mengran and Jin Weina. We have short defenders, Kim can be in control when the defenders are restricted, she has the organization and the ability to defend the second and third positions. When Han Xu and Li Yueru were caught or the ball could not be passed to them, Sun Mengran, as a tall insider, had a strategy, and a three-point hand, and his performance picked up this season, which could help pass the ball to the inside line and break the opponent's bag.
At present, Li Meng, the absolute core of the women's basketball team, will also become the captain of the next women's basketball national training team. And in addition to the players, the women's basketball league is also very problematic at the moment. Compared with the state of the World Cup, the Olympic Games and the Asian Cup, such as Han Xu and Li Mengxiaobao, who have maintained it better, other players have almost fallen off a cliff. It is a good illustration of the fact that the stinky chess basket becomes more and more stinky the more you play chess. In a slow-paced, confrontational environment, there is no point in playing dominantly statistical, and a few tough battles are completely exposed. The World Cup is played well, firstly, because of the tacit understanding brought by long-term training, but also because of the training intensity and game level that the national team can guarantee.
Therefore, for outstanding domestic players, especially young players, to go out as soon as possible, don't feel that it is safe to play famous in China first and then go out. For every year you play at home, the gap between you and the rest of the world's young people widens by five years. Slight progress but missed a critical period of development.
