There are still three months left before the Paris Olympics, and the Chinese women's basketball team also announced the list of 17 Olympic training camps, and top national players such as Han Xu, Li Meng, Wang Siyu, and Li Yueru were all selected. At the same time, people like Zheng Ming, Tang Ziting and Tang Yu also appeared on the list, and it is very regrettable that Liu Yutong, the big baby who had a very high voice, was once again selected for the national team training squad, and the 23-year-old Liu Yutong really missed the national team and missed the Olympics in advance.
This time, most of the players in the women's basketball training squad are from the top four teams of the WCBA playoffs, and a total of 13 people from the four teams have been selected. Among them, 4 people from Inner Mongolia and Sichuan were selected, Li Meng, Han Xu, Wang Siyu, Tang Ziting of the Sichuan team, Li Yuan, Zhang Ru, Pan Zhenqi and Sun Mengran of Inner Mongolia. Huang Sijing, Yang Shuyu and Yang Liwei of the Dongguan team, Luo Xinyu and Jin Weina of the Jiangsu team. The remaining 4 players are Li Yueru, Zheng Ming, Wu Tongtong and Tang Yu.
It can be seen that the women's basketball team's training squad this time basically follows the main team of the past two years, Li Meng, Huang Sijing, Wang Siyu, Han Xu and Li Yueru are still the absolute main force, Zhang Ru, Pan Zhenqi, Li Yuan, these people in the team are irreplaceable. Although we can't know who will be on the final 12-member list of the women's basketball team, there is a high probability that it will still be based on last year's Asian Games and Asian Cup, plus one or two newcomers.
However, what makes people feel difficult is that as a potential center in the women's basketball team and one of the strongest centers in the WCBA league, Liu Yutong once again failed to be selected for the women's national basketball team. In the eyes of many people, Liu Yutong, who is 2.01 meters tall and weighs 260 pounds, is definitely the best substitute for Li Yueru and one of the most dominant centers in the women's basketball team. In the face of European and American teams, Liu Yutong's tonnage may be able to have a surprising effect. It's a pity that on the list this time, Liu Yutong was ignored again.
In the women's basketball team this time, in addition to Li Yueru and Han Xu, there are two big men, Tang Yu and Sun Mengran, who have no advantage in age, and their playing style is more inclined to Han Xu. Although they are a little more flexible than Liu Yutong, they lose a lot to the big baby in terms of confrontation and strength. When facing strong teams in Europe and the United States, they are also prone to suffer in confrontation.
Compared with the men's basketball game, the women's basketball team basically has to win the world with the insider, and the women's basketball team has been able to rise in recent years, thanks to Han Xu and Li Yueru, two super centers. At last year's U16 Asian Youth Championships, the Chinese team chose to give up the inside line, refusing to bring Zhang Ziyu, who was 2.28 meters, and decisively speeding up, but unfortunately, without Zhang Ziyu, the women's basketball team did not even enter the semi-finals, and lost to South Korea, Japan, New Zealand and others one after another.
