She scored 13 points against the U.S. women's basketball team in the Women's Basketball World Cup final, but suffered a serious injury to the cruciate ligament in her left knee and retired from the game. She underwent cruciate ligament surgery on her knee twice, missed the Women's Asian Cup, and also missed the Women's Asian Games. She took 438 days to recuperate before making her return and gradually regained her form through the league. At the Olympic qualifying round, Wu Tongtong was far from her best form, and she was not satisfied with her performance. However, in the final stage of the WCBA league last season, Wu Tongtong's form is getting better and better.
Now Wu Tongtong is preparing for the Paris Olympics with the Chinese women's basketball team, and I believe that she can get a place in the Paris Olympics after gradually returning to her best condition. Peak Wu Tongtong is a very versatile scorer, especially with a beautiful three-point shot. Such a Wu Tongtong can bring great help to Li Meng and Han Xu.
Wu Tongtong can shoot suddenly, attack with the ball, and attack without the ball, she is a sharp knife in the scoring guard position of the Chinese women's basketball team. Wu Tongtong's defense is relatively weak, but her offensive characteristics are outstanding, so under Zheng Wei, she can serve as a substitute scoring guard.
In the playoffs last season, Wu Tongtong played 4 games, averaging 17.3 points per game and ranking tenth in the playoff scoring list, shooting 46.2% from the field, 43.5% from three-point range, 2.5 three-pointers per game, and 73.3% from the free throw line. Wu Tongtong averaged 2.5 three-pointers per game in the playoffs, ranking fifth on the three-point list in the playoffs.
That super shooter is back. Wu Tongtong played at the top of his game in the 2020-21 season, averaging 21.6 points, 3.9 rebounds, 5.4 assists and 1.9 steals per game. She has a sharp three-point shot, has won the league most three-point shooting in a single season, and also won the All-Star Game three-point championship. But in the past nearly two years, Wu Tongtong has been relatively unlucky, she showed a tough style against the United States in the 2022 Women's Basketball World Cup finals, but was unexpectedly injured.
It can be described as the pinnacle of joy, with a fountain of tears. Wu Tongtong originally hoped to participate in the 2023 Asian Cup and Asian Games, but he was injured in training the day before the 2023 Dragon Boat Festival and ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee and had to undergo surgery again.
Wu Tongtong had surgery on both legs of her knees, and she was in a bad condition and missed the Asian Cup and Asian Games. But the stalwart women's basketball team is back on the court and is gradually getting back into shape.
Some people say that Wu Tongtong is Ginobili in the Chinese women's national basketball team, and her current role is to be a backup point guard. At the Paris Olympics, Wu Tongtong had the opportunity to play the role of a surprise soldier. Whoever takes it lightly may be slashed by this demon knife.
