The Olympic women's basketball qualifying tournament has just ended, and the Chinese women's basketball team has been divided into groups with three teams, New Zealand, France and Puerto Rico. In the end, the Chinese women's basketball team defeated the New Zealand women's basketball team 94:47, the Chinese women's basketball team lost to the French women's basketball team 50:82, and the Chinese women's basketball team 105:69 Puerto Rico women's basketball team, and successfully won the Paris Olympics with a record of two wins and one loss.
As the world's second-ranked team, the goal of the Chinese women's basketball team is not only to qualify from the group, but to impact the medals in the Olympic Games, and this state will certainly not satisfy the team and the fans.
Judging from these three games, the team's best and most stable player is Li Meng, who scored 21 points in the face, and if it were not for her play, the Chinese women's basketball team would have lost even more ugly. Among the other players in the front line, Huang Sijing's performance is also good, especially on the defensive end and rebounding competition, very positive. In the center position, Han Xu and Li Yueru's performance is also decent, both have highlight performances, and they also have bad times, and their performance is not very stable.
The worst performance is the back line, and the main defenders Wang Siyu and Yang Liwei play very poorly. In the face of France's high-intensity defense, Wang Siyu scored 3 points, shooting 1 of 5, Yang Liwei scored 2 points, shooting 1 of 6, the two made many mistakes, a total of only 4 assists, completely suppressed by the opponent! The team's strongest point is on the inside, but it can't pass the ball to the inside, which is also a major reason for the team's fiasco.
Among the substitute guards, Li Yuan didn't score a point, only two assists, and two turnovers, and her physical weakness made her completely unable to complete technical moves in the confrontation with the French players, and there was an empty basket. The other two defenders, Yang Shuyu, played 10 minutes and scored 1 point, while Wu Tongtong did not get playing time.
Regarding the problem of the back line, head coach Zheng Wei is also very clear, and the defenders have been adjusted many times in the game, but no one can stand up, resulting in the embarrassment of playing with a strong team and no one is available!
It is reported that in order to play well in the Olympic Games, the Chinese women's basketball team will adjust the guard line, and the players who performed poorly before will leave the team temporarily. Among them, it was confirmed that Wu Tongtong and Yang Shuyu were leaving, the former was injured and older, and his state has not yet recovered. In addition to these two players, the team's main player Yang Liwei may also be temporarily adjusted out of the team, due to continued poor performance, the outside world has very big doubts about her selection, and it may be a good choice for her to leave temporarily.
At present, the Chinese women's basketball coaching staff intends to recruit two newcomers, one is Zhang Jingyi, who plays in Hebei, who has very good projection ability and performed extremely well in last year's Asian Games. The other is Zhang Manman, the core guard of the Jiangsu women's basketball team, who is fast, has excellent skills, and has good projection ability.
Due to the continuous excellent performance and the increase in off-court activities, the performance of some members of the Chinese women's basketball team has obviously declined! At this time, it is necessary for the coaching staff to adjust the personnel as soon as possible, recruit the best players into the team, and prepare for the Olympic Games wholeheartedly!
