The Sichuan women's basketball team and the Inner Mongolia women's basketball team contributed a wonderful and fierce finals tie-break battle, and finally the Sichuan women's basketball team, which had a more luxurious lineup, won the championship. The Inner Mongolia women's basketball team has been very successful in reaching the fifth game of the finals, and their lineup configuration is indeed inferior to that of the Sichuan women's basketball team. Inner Mongolia women's basketball forward Zhang Ru once again played a stable performance in this game, she played 38 minutes and 30 seconds for a team-high, scoring 18 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal.
In the second half of the game, Zhang Ru and Li Meng faced off, so that the Inner Mongolia women's basketball team still maintained suspense until the last moment, and the 24-year-old Chinese women's basketball gold medal blue-collar did rise this season.
Zhang Ru ranked third in the league with 2.7 steals per game in the playoffs, and she kept running on the court like a perpetual motion machine, stealing again and again, rushing for rebounds in the card position, and fighting for the floor ball. Zhang Ru left all her energy on the court. We saw that from the beginning of the third quarter, Zhang Ru bent over many times during the game and gasped for breath, as if he couldn't straighten his waist.
But once she returned to the game timer, she was fighting hard. As a blue-collar player of the Chinese women's basketball team, she played a very heavy offensive role in the Inner Mongolia women's basketball team. This season, the Inner Mongolia women's basketball team lost Li Yueru, Huang Sijing, Yang Liwei and Yang Shuyu, although some players were introduced, objectively speaking, the offensive points have become fewer, which requires Zhang Ru to improve his ability.
In fact, Zhang Ru's physical condition is very good, but unfortunately his role was a defensive striker before, and his offensive skills were not polished enough. Zhang Ru is 1.86 meters tall, taller and stronger than Li Meng, who is 1.82 meters, but when it comes to offensive skills, she is indeed inferior to Li Meng. This is also why in the national team, Li Meng is the starting small forward, and Zhang Ru is the substitute.
But Zhang Ru still has a lot of room to rise, and her offense this season is a lot of improvement from last season. In the fifth game of the finals, Zhang Ru and Li Meng had a match, Zhang Ru shot 7 of 11, 1 of 2 three-pointers, and 3 of 5 free throws.
Li Meng shot 8-of-15, 5-of-11 three-pointers and 2-of-3 free throws. Li Meng's offensive means are more abundant, especially his shooting ability. The Sichuan women's basketball team made a total of 7 of 23 three-point shots, Li Meng made 5 of 11 shots, and other players shot 2 of 12. Li Meng's three-point shot played a crucial role in this game.
Of course, the tactics of the Sichuan women's basketball team were also brought into play, and they had two towers on the inside, forcing the Inner Mongolia women's basketball team to wrap up Cambeqi, and Li Meng repeatedly got vacant opportunities.
The Inner Mongolia women's basketball team fought fiercely, but some gaps were difficult to make up, especially Jones's game was plagued by foul troubles, playing time was compressed, and she was unable to attack and defend decisively as she wanted.
This season's women's basketball league is over, and Zhang Ru's transformation is good news for the Chinese women's basketball team. Coach Zheng Wei may be able to add an extra burden to Zhang Ru in the national team, after all, in the international arena, Zhang Ru's physical confrontation is also tough enough.
