Fiasco start: The Chinese women's basketball team suffered another setback
On July 3, Beijing time, the Chinese women's basketball team lost 66-94 to the Australian women's basketball team in an overseas warm-up game. The crushing defeat marked the fourth consecutive defeat of the Chinese women's basketball team in a warm-up game, and people can't help but worry about their form and future. Although Wang Siyu contributed 21 points and Han Xu also had a double performance of 11 points and 11 rebounds, the team's overall performance was poor, especially the only 13 points in the third quarter, which was opened up by the opponent.
Wang Siyu is difficult to support alone: the individual performance is brilliant and it is difficult to hide the team's disadvantages
In this game, Wang Siyu's performance was undoubtedly the highlight. She scored 21 points in the game, showing her strong offensive ability and fearless spirit. Whether it is a breakthrough or a shot, Wang Siyu shows his style. However, basketball is a team sport after all, and it is difficult to make up for the overall lack by the brilliance of an individual. The lack of effective support from other players left the team struggling on both offensive and defensive ends.
Han Xu's two pairs were useless: the inside advantage failed to translate into a victory
Han Xu contributed 11 points and 11 rebounds in the game, and his performance was also remarkable. As the team's interior core, she also performed commendably on the defensive end, contributing three blocks. However, Han Xu's double-double data failed to help the team reverse the decline. The Australian women's basketball team effectively dismantled the inside advantage of the Chinese women's basketball team through teamwork and a multi-point flowering offensive strategy, making Han Xu's efforts seem lonely.
Third Quarter Crash: Poor performance kills game hopes
The turning point of the game came in the third quarter. The Chinese women's basketball team had a terrible performance in this quarter, scoring only 13 points, while the opponent scored 26 points. This 13-26 single-quarter score directly led to the Chinese women's basketball team trailing by 22 points at the end of the first three quarters. Such a gap almost took the suspense out of the game early and made the fourth quarter an inconsequential garbage time. The collapse in the third quarter exposed the Achilles' heel of the Chinese women's basketball team's lack of adaptability and stability in the face of pressure.
The performance of overseas warm-up matches is sluggish: 2 wins and 8 losses are worrying
After this loss, the Chinese women's basketball team's overseas warm-up record became 2-8, which is obviously unsatisfactory. This series of games was supposed to be an opportunity to run in the lineup and improve the state for the upcoming competition, but the performance of the Chinese women's basketball team failed to meet expectations. The frequent defeats not only hit the morale of the players, but also exposed the team's shortcomings in tactical execution, teamwork and psychological quality.
Looking ahead: A comprehensive rethink and adjustment is needed
The fiasco is disappointing, but it is more important to learn from it. The Chinese women's basketball team needs to reflect comprehensively, find the root cause of the problem, and make targeted adjustments. The coaching staff needs to re-evaluate their tactical strategies, and the players need to strengthen their physical training and mental development. Only through comprehensive adjustment and improvement can the Chinese women's basketball team re-emerge in future games and show its due strength and style.
Controversy: Can the Chinese women's basketball team return to the top?
Although the Chinese women's basketball team is facing many challenges, they still have potential and hope. The question is whether the coaching staff and players can really learn from the failures and make the necessary adjustments. Some people believe that the Chinese women's basketball team only needs to adjust its tactics and mentality to get back on track; But there are also questions about whether there are deeper structural problems with the team that require more radical reform. The next few games will be a litmus test for these ideas.
