On July 23, 2024, Beijing time, the Chinese women's basketball team announced the list of 12 players participating in the Paris Olympics. As we all know, the selection of the Olympic roster has always been difficult, especially with the limited number of places, and there are regrets. Today, Yao Ming, chairman of the Basketball Association, Zheng Wei, coach of the women's basketball team, and two women's basketball players, Pan Zhenqi and Jin Weina, announced the news that they will withdraw from the national team.
Compared to the 12-man roster for Tokyo 2020, there are two changes to the squad for this Paris Olympics. After Shao Ting retired, Yang Shuyu filled her place. Shao Ting was once the core player of the team, and her retirement made many fans feel reluctant, but the addition of Yang Shuyu brought fresh blood to the team. Yang Shuyu is a rising star in recent years, with fast speed and strong scoring ability, and is a player worth looking forward to in the future.
Veteran Pan Zhenqi was not selected and was replaced by Luo Xinqi. Pan Zhenqi, born in 1995, is 1.92 meters tall and can play both power forward and cameo as a center. She has been a mainstay in events such as the Tokyo Olympics, the 2022 World Cup in Australia, the 2023 Asian Cup and the Asian Games. Even in the 2024 WCBA final, the fierce battle between the Inner Mongolia women's basketball team led by her and other national players and the Sichuan women's basketball team proved her strength. Under her leadership, the Inner Mongolia team once fought against the Sichuan team in the final, and although she failed to win the championship, her performance was impressive.
However, in the subsequent national team training camp, Pan Zhenqi's situation was not very optimistic. Her form has been inconsistent due to injury. In the warm-up match, she even had to make a cameo appearance in the center position, because Han Xu was injured and Li Yueru did not return, which put a lot of load on her body. In the end, in a warm-up match, Pan Zhenqi's old injury recurred, causing his form to decline sharply. While she continued to train hard and hope to get back to the top, the coaching staff ultimately decided to opt for a healthier and more consistent player. As soon as the news of Pan Zhenqi's failure to be selected for the Olympic roster came out, many fans expressed their disappointment and confusion online.
A fan left a message on social media: "Pan Zhenqi is the pillar of our women's basketball team, how can I do it without her!" Another fan responded: "Veterans also have the difficulties of veterans, injuries, inconsistent form, and the coaching staff has their considerations. Some people also expressed understanding: "Pan Zhenqi is indeed a veteran, he has been fighting with injuries in the past few years, he should take a good rest, and it is also very important to train newcomers." ”
Jin Weina, born in 1992, plays as a guard and is an important player in the Chinese women's basketball team. She is very versatile and very the field, which impresses. Especially in the 2022 World Cup and the 2023 Asian Cup and Asian Games, she has hardly missed a single game. Everyone still remembers the scene at the 2023 Asian Cup, where Jin Weina's efforts helped the Chinese women's basketball team win the championship, and her performance at that time was really eye-catching.
Especially in that final, Kim did her best to defend the opposing team's star players while also providing support on the offensive end. Her attitude of running all over the court and fighting for every ball shows her love for basketball and loyalty to the team. Seeing how hard she played on the court, as a fan, everyone was very proud of her. Her hard work is not only a technical performance, but also a reflection of the team spirit.
Entering 2024, Jin Weina continues to give her all and participated in the national team's training camp for the Olympics. On the training ground, she is always the busiest. In order to get the best out of herself, she runs a few more times a day than others and practices those physically demanding tactical moves. Coaches are also often full of praise for her performance, calling her a rare hard player in the team. Watching her work hard every day really makes people feel that she is wholeheartedly committed to this goal.
The final 12-man roster includes three centre-forwards, four forwards and five defenders. Although the warm-up games were poor, with only 2 wins and 11 losses in 13 games, this was mainly due to the team's personnel and injury problems. Coach Zheng Wei believes that the Chinese women's basketball team will perform better in the competition.
The Chinese women's basketball team has faced many challenges in Asia and Europe in recent years, especially losing to Japan in the Asian Cup many times. However, despite the unsatisfactory results in the warm-up matches, the Chinese women's basketball team performed well in the World Cup, Asian Cup and Asian Games, with accurate key shots and a high shooting rate. In the recent warm-up match with the France women's basketball team, Li Meng and Li Yueru rebounded in form, which made people see hope.
Some netizens commented: "To tell the truth, this year's women's basketball players were scrapped by Zheng Wei, their sports careers were dragged out very short, and the technical and tactical level of the players also dropped sharply." In this Games, they are really desperate for results. ”
Many netizens expressed their views when discussing this issue. Some believe that Zheng Wei's training methods are too strict and harsh, which has affected the physical and psychological state of the players. A netizen named Xiao Li posted this comment on the forum: "Zheng Wei really crippled the girls this time. I remember when I started, everyone was looking forward to this team, but now I look at it and it feels like the whole team is about to be tossed up. ”
Another netizen, Xiao Zhang, added: "Indeed, the performance in the game is clear at a glance. This time, the technical level of the women's basketball team has dropped too quickly, and it seems that it can't play at the previous level at all. The young players also looked tired, as if they had no fighting power left. Zheng Wei's training plan may be problematic, I don't know if he has considered the feelings of these girls. ”
Some netizens began to discuss specific details, and some mentioned the scene of a certain training camp. A netizen named Xiao Wang wrote: "I saw that in the video, the players were almost tired from training. One moment of physical training, one moment of tactical drills, and almost no time to rest. The training used to be rhythmic, but now it looks like it's all about pushing them to the limit. Does this approach really lead to good results? ”
In the face of the upcoming Paris Olympics, many team members may be their last Olympic Games, and everyone will do their best to win glory for the country. I hope that this group of girls can perform well in the competition, meet new challenges and create new brilliance.
