In the fourth game of the 2023-2024 WCBA finals, Sichuan Yuanda Meile sat at home to face Inner Mongolia Rural Credit Corporation. After the opening, the Inner Mongolia women's basketball team's offense suddenly lost power, and in the entire first quarter of the game, the Inner Mongolia women's basketball team only scored two goals in the seventh and eighth minutes, and they fell behind 5:26 in the first quarter of the game. Although the Inner Mongolia women's basketball team won the opponent in every quarter of the next three quarters, it had no choice but to dig a huge pit in the first quarter and could only lose to the opponent. In the competition, the performance of the six national players was different, and the difference was quite large:
Wang Siyu: The strength is still strong
Wang Siyu's performance in the entire finals is the most stable player among the six national players, and although Cambage's comeback in the crucial fourth game has made the Sichuan women's basketball team more likely to win, Wang Siyu's performance is still unrelenting and does not give up an inch of land. Wang Siyu shot 3-of-7 two-pointers, 3-of-6 three-pointers, and 4-of-4 free throws, scoring 19 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists. In the first four finals, Wang Siyu scored 16 points, 15 points, 19 points, and 19 points respectively, and his performance was very stable.
Li Yuan: The performance is unstable
In the fourth finals, Li Yuan's performance was still active enough, as the brain of the team, she controlled the ball with a good sense of rhythm, shuttled back and forth between the opponent's defense line, patiently looking for opportunities, but she had no good feeling. In the whole game, Li Yuan shot 2-of-7 two-pointers and 2-of-6 three-pointers, scoring 10 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists. This ball highlights that Li Yuan's strengths and weaknesses are also prominent, and Li Yuan must practice diligently in shooting in the future in order to play well in the international arena.
Li Meng, Han Xu: Confused again
Cambage's comeback gave Li Meng and Han Xu something to rely on, and the attitude of the game had a huge reversal. Li Meng's strong offense was gone, and Han Xu neither actively shot nor grabbed rebounds. Originally, their defensive attitude was far inferior to Gao Song, Wang Xuehao, Jia Saiqi and other teammates, and if they didn't take the initiative to attack, their role on the field was obviously not good. Li Meng shot 2-of-2 from two-pointers and 1-of-5 from three-pointers, scoring 8 points and 6 rebounds. Han Xu shot 3-of-6 two-pointers and 0-of-1 three-pointers, scoring 8 points and 3 assists. The competition attitude of Li Meng and Han Xu in the Paris Olympics is worrying! Especially Han Xu's problem of being weak when he is strong (including the strength of his teammates) is worth summing up.
Zhang Ru: There has been a slight improvement
In this game, the Inner Mongolia women's basketball team shot 2 of 23 in the first quarter, and Zhang Ru shot 0 of 3 in the first quarter, and there were many fouls on the defensive end. However, Zhang Ru quickly adjusted himself, although the defensive intensity decreased slightly, but the offensive success rate increased significantly. Zhang Ru shot 2-of-2 two-pointers and 2-of-5 three-pointers, scoring 11 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists.
Pan Jinqi: Not doing well
In the fourth finals, Pan Jinqi's ability on the defensive end is still outstanding, and the defensive success rate is high, although she was sent off for 5 fouls, she can't perform better against Cambage and Han Xu. But on the offensive end, Pan Jinqi didn't feel it, and Pan Jinqi shot 0 of 2 two-pointers and 1 of 5 three-pointers, scoring 3 points and 2 assists.
The performances of the six major players in the finals series are very different, and the upcoming fifth game of the finals is a real battle of life and death. Although the strength of the Inner Mongolia women's basketball team is slightly inferior, their attitude to the game is as always, throughout the finals, and the two teams are evenly matched. I hope that the six national players of the Chinese women's basketball team can give full play to their level, strive to win the championship, and leave no regrets in their careers!
