Women's basketball defeated Belgium! The whole team was frustrated and witnessed the opponent celebrating, Li Meng and Li Yueru looked serious!
Today, a much-watched women's basketball warm-up game has set off a lot of waves in the domestic sports circle. The Chinese women's basketball team ended in a 57-79 defeat in this contest against Belgium. After the game, the air on the court was solemn, and the faces of the players of the whole team were grim and their eyes were gloomy, as if they had not expected such an outcome.
At the beginning of the game, the Chinese team suffered an opening collapse with all the main players playing, and could not effectively resist the strong attack of the Belgium team. Despite the gradual release of water in the second half, the Chinese team could not turn the situation around and ended up with an unsatisfactory score. In particular, Li Meng's performance in her comeback debut was regrettable, and although her efforts were undeniable, the lack of shooting percentage and tactical execution was still an obvious problem.
For Belgium, their celebration was even more relaxed and confident. They also performed well against the Chinese team's substitutes, maintaining control of the game despite rotating the lineup in the final quarter. The Chinese players hugged on the field after the game, as well as the picture of collective cheering in the midfield, all showed their frustration and helplessness.
The defeat in this game is not just a simple game defeat, it reveals the real dilemma of the Chinese women's basketball team at the technical and tactical level. Both the instability on the offensive end and the omissions on the defensive end need to be effectively improved in a short period of time, especially in the context of the upcoming Olympic Games.
The result of this game not only had an impact on the mental state of the Chinese women's basketball team, but also had a profound reflection on the prospects of the Olympic Games. How to maintain combat effectiveness and team cohesion in the cruel competition will be the top priority of the next training and adjustment.
I don't know how people feel when they see the game, but I was really mixed at the time. With the Belgium players cheering on one side and the frustrated figures of our women's basketball girls on the other, the strong contrast is really distressing. Especially seeing Li Meng and Li Yueru's serious expressions, I couldn't help but ask: How much pressure are they on?
Li Meng is one of the core of the team, and her performance is directly related to the performance of the whole team. But this comeback, 2 of 11 shots, 0 of 7 three-pointers, and only 6 points are really worrying. Li Meng has been playing floating, and this state has obviously not fully recovered. Seeing such data, will you have the same feeling as me that "the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment"? It's her first game since she came back and we're going to give her some time. Hopefully, she will be able to adjust her form soon enough to meet the challenges ahead.
On the other hand, Li Yueru, she cut a double-double of 19 points and 12 rebounds, and this performance is still quite stable. The team's overall performance has not kept up with her rhythm. Against Belgium's bench we still couldn't take any advantage, and it was obviously not a problem with one or two players, but a problem with the whole team on a tactical and psychological level.
The celebration of the Belgium team really pierced the hearts of many fans. I saw comments on the Internet, some people said, "This is the low point of our women's basketball team", and some people said, "How can we play in the Olympics with such a performance?" "Indeed, judging from this game, the state of the women's basketball team is worrying. The offensive end is inefficient, the defensive end is full of holes, and the only interior line that can be relied on is difficult to support the whole team on its own. It raises the question of how far we can go at the Olympics.
Speaking of which, everyone may feel the same as me: our women's basketball team needs not only tactical improvement, but also mental adjustment. After all, sports competitions are not only physical confrontations, but also psychological confrontations. Girls, you must know that defeat is not terrible, but what is terrible is the loss of confidence and courage to fight.
Then again, competitive sports are so cruel that winning or losing a game does not fully represent the true level of a team. Hopefully, our girls can learn from this defeat and start anew. As the old saying goes, "Failure is the mother of success", and every setback is an opportunity to grow. As long as they can maintain a positive mindset and keep adjusting and improving, there is still hope for the future.
