In the fourth game of the 2023-2024 WCBA finals, Sichuan Yuanda Meile defeated Inner Mongolia Nongxin 78:70 at home, bringing the score of the two sides to 2:2.
The two teams in this game are the same as the previous games, with fierce physical confrontations, frequent fouls, and falling to the ground to scramble from time to time. In fact, Han Xu's behavior also reflects Han Xu's obvious shortcomings of being afraid of confrontation and not adapting to fierce competition.
Han Xu's debut is actually very amazing, she has not participated in a WCBA professional league, and she directly entered the national team from the high school league. Han Xu's talent is much stronger than Zheng Haixia, Chen Yuefang and other predecessors, Han Xu is taller, faster, more flexible, and has a softer shooting feel, which his predecessors do not have.
It only took two years for Han Xu to complete the triple jump from the high school league to the national team and then to the WNBA, and at the age of 19, Han Xu was selected by the WNBA New York Liberty with the 14th pick in the first round, and gradually became the team's main rotation player. But last year, Han Xu suddenly returned to China and participated in the Universiade, and her status in the WNBA team at that time had been completely lost.
Before Han Xu left the WNBA, he had not played for 14 consecutive days. On the one hand, this is due to Han Xu's absence from some WNBA games and the loss of his tactical position in the team, and on the other hand, it also shows that Han Xu's strength is no longer able to gain a firm foothold in the WNBA. Because since Han Xu's debut, more than 6 years have passed now, and her skills can be said to have made no progress!
Han Xu's debut back then was because of his tall stature, fast speed, and outstanding hand feel, high shooting percentage, and difficult to defend, but so far, Han Xu's characteristics are still the same. Han Xu now has no ability to hold the ball, is not good at running, and is not good at back-to-back singles under the basket, it stands to reason that these skills should always improve in the long 6 years.
But these are not Han Xu's biggest flaws, Han Xu's biggest flaw is that she is not active and murderous. In fact, on the field of the finals, Han Xu is the player with the best feel and the player who is the most threatening. Because Jones was forced to defend Cambage, and Han Xu was misplaced in the face of all the players, the entire opponent's offensive area was within Han Xu's range, and Han Xu's offense should be what he wanted.
But it's a pity that Cambage's return made Han Xu lose himself. Han Xu doesn't want the ball when he is attacking and doesn't grab rebounds when he defends, because these Cambage can do everything, and it doesn't matter if he does it or not! Under this mentality, Han Xu's task is to catch the ball and shoot, and everyone can see what effect Han Xu's league training can have.
Li Meng is 29 years old this year, you can't ask Li Meng to have a more outstanding performance, Li Meng's sports career has reached its peak, and the era of Li Meng after the Paris Olympics is about to pass, this is a fact that cannot be concealed. Originally, with Han Xu's athletic talent, it was enough to continue to carry the banner of the Chinese women's basketball team, but now it is impossible, Han Xu does not have such a temperament. And Li Yueru took the initiative to go to the European League to exercise, but Han Xu didn't have any of these problems.
In fact, everyone understands that in the Paris Olympics, the performance of the Chinese women's basketball team may inevitably decline, and the Chinese women's basketball team is not optimistic in the next Olympic cycle. I hope that the young players of the Chinese women's basketball team will be strict with themselves, catch up, continue to carry forward the tradition of the Chinese women's basketball team's "fearless Jinlan", and continue to stand at the forefront of world basketball!
