The Chinese women's basketball team is currently ranked second in the world, and the Basketball Association and the competent authorities have high requirements for the women's basketball team, and the Paris Olympics must at least finish in the top four. However, the previous defeat to France in the Olympic qualifying tournament made the Chinese women's basketball team show its original form, and the long-term lack of high-intensity games made the Chinese women's basketball team's skills and tactics completely backward. At present, only Li Yueru of the Chinese women's basketball team is playing in Turkey and the WNBA, while Li Meng and Han Xu gave up the opportunity to go to the WNBA. Although the WCBA is the world's largest women's basketball league, the overall competitiveness is too poor and the confrontation is very weak, which undoubtedly makes no contribution to the future development of the Chinese women's basketball team.
At present, the third game of the WCBA finals is underway, and Sichuan is currently 1-2 behind Inner Mongolia, and is in a lower position in the best-of-five game. And Li Meng's performance was actually not good, he scored 14 points in the first three-point shot in 0 of 4, 2 in the second three-point shot and 13 points in 9, and 24 points in the third three-point game 1 in 5. Han Xu was okay on the offensive end, but he had 7 rebounds and 1 block in the first game, 6 rebounds and 0 blocks in the second game, and 16 rebounds and 2 blocks in the third game, and the defensive end still had a lot of ups and downs. What's even more fatal is that in the third game, Sichuan made 25-13 mistakes, Li Meng made 4 mistakes, Han Xu made 6 mistakes, and Wang Siyu made 5 mistakes, and our three core players of the women's basketball team did not make great progress.
The Inner Mongolia women's basketball team has Li Yuan and Zhang Ru, the two main players of the Chinese women's basketball team, Zhang Ru scored 11 points, 10 points and 7 points in three games, and made a total of 3 three-point shots. Li Yuan had a brilliant performance in the previous Olympic qualifying tournament, scoring 18 points on 1-of-6 three-pointers, and 1-of-16 on 3-of-3 three-pointers in the previous two games. Li Yuan covered Jones' layup with 3.5 seconds in the fourth quarter to tie the score at 80 and enter overtime, and at 1:21 in overtime, he broke through the top of the arc and made a layup to help the team lead by 4 points. Other Inner Mongolia players Pan Zhenqi scored six points on 3-of-9 shooting, while Zhang Qifang scored five points on 1-of-7 shooting.
In the finals, Sichuan's three-point shots were 7 in 16, 6 in 20 and 6 in 27, while Inner Mongolia's three-point shots were 9 in 23, 6 in 20 and 6 in 27. Inner Mongolia foreign aid Jones had 29 points and 12 rebounds in the first game, 28 points and 10 rebounds in the second game, and 47 points and 10 rebounds in the third game, and Sichuan foreign aid Cambage had 21 points and 11 rebounds in the first game and 30 points and 8 rebounds in the second game.
Our league has not improved the strength of the women's basketball team, and many national players in Sichuan and Inner Mongolia cannot restrict foreign aid, but also rely on foreign aid to win. We are ranked second in the world, but are the strength of our players also second in the world? At present, it seems that if we face international high-level players, there is already a big gap between the Chinese women's basketball players. What is the significance of this kind of low-level competition? The Chinese women's basketball team should base itself on the long-term, rather than just looking at the present, if the long-term development is ignored for the sake of temporary results, the Chinese women's basketball team will inevitably follow in the footsteps of the Chinese women's football team.
Although preparing for the Olympic Games is a big thing, our women's basketball players still have to go out and go to the top leagues in Europe and the United States to train, otherwise the Chinese women's basketball team will inevitably encounter a "Waterloo" in the Paris Olympics. Li Yueru has proven her strong inside strength in the Turkish League, and her own level has also been improved. After the Turkish league, Li Yueru will go to Los Angeles in the WNBA to start a new phase, hoping that she can make great strides in her individual skills and confrontation ability. I still hope that Han Xu and Li Meng will go to the WNBA, and Li Yuan and Wang Siyu can go to Europe for training.
