The Chinese women's basketball team, which was once dominant, was defeated in all three games at the Paris Olympics and was eliminated ahead of schedule. Why did this team, which carries the expectations of countless Chinese people, suddenly become dumb?
It's a blessing or a curse, and it's a disaster that can't be avoided. Today, Xiaoyi will take a look at how our women's basketball girls fell from the altar to the dust.
Let's listen to Xiaoyi slowly. I remember that in the first two years, our women's basketball team was infinitely beautiful! fought tenaciously at the Tokyo Olympics, and at the 2022 World Cup, it was even more black, reaching the final and winning the runner-up.
At that time, who didn't praise our girls for their heroic posture and women's eyebrows? But how long has it been, and how has it changed from "sonorous roses" to "ruined among them"?
Speaking of which, the Chinese women's basketball team in this Olympics is all old faces. Ten have participated in the Tokyo Olympics, nine have played in the World Cup, eight have won the Asian Cup... What do you see, this lineup is not exciting?
But who knows, these veterans have fallen into the sand this time.
Our star Li Meng said bluntly: "Our current Chinese women's basketball team is no longer the Chinese women's basketball team in peak state in 2022."
This sounds heart-wrenching, but doesn't it mean that our girls have reached the twilight of heroes!
Tell me, these veterans have made outstanding achievements, but the years are not forgiving! If you can't keep up with your physical fitness and technology, how can you fight with other young and strong foreign girls?
Isn't this just playing "meritorious basketball"! It's a pity that this meritorious basketball is not very effective in a world-class arena like the Olympic Games.
Let's talk about our head coach Zheng Wei. This Director Zheng is really confusing. Tell me, is it a self-cutting arm to exclude our defensive titan Pan Zhenqi from the squad?
Just to strengthen the offense? As a result, the offense was not strengthened, and the defense leaked like a sieve. Isn't this a typical "losing a watermelon and picking sesame seeds"?
There was also that game against Spain, which was 3 points behind in the last 14 seconds, and Coach Zheng actually directed the players to score quickly before committing a foul. Isn't this typical "smallholder mentality"? What age are you still playing this conservative tactic? Isn't this blocking your own way?
You say that these veterans are not in good shape, so you should give young people a chance. But Director Zheng didn't, so he had to let the veteran Wu Tongtong, who had declined in form, play, and put aside Yang Shuyu, a young player who performed well in the training match.
Isn't this a typical "old book"? If this continues, isn't our women's basketball team "green and yellow"?
So, isn't the loss of this Olympics a wake-up call for our women's basketball team? Veterans should be retired, newcomers should be replaced, managers should be replaced, and tactics should be changed. Our women's basketball team is now standing at a crossroads!
Look at Yang Shuyu, Li Yueru, Han Xu and other young players, which one is not a potential stock? Give them a chance and cultivate them well, maybe it will be the next Li Meng!
Besides, the pattern of women's basketball in the world is changing, and we have to keep pace with the times. Always clinging to that old-fashioned tactic, isn't that uncomfortable for yourself?
