At the Paris Olympics, when the Chinese women's basketball team pinned its fate on the performance of other teams in key games, the result was embarrassing. It all started with a win for the Chinese women's basketball team against Puerto Rico, after which the goal difference was adjusted to -1. After that, the team and fans were full of confidence, because according to common sense, Japan could not lose to Belgium by 27 points, and Australia was unlikely to beat France. If the results of these two games meet expectations, the Chinese women's basketball team can smoothly advance to the quarterfinals.
Not only did Japan lose to Belgium by 27 points, but Australia also unexpectedly beat France. Such a result led to the Chinese women's basketball team losing to Belgium by 0 points with a net score of -1, and unfortunately missed the quarterfinals. This scene undoubtedly brought a huge blow to the Chinese women's basketball team and its fans, especially in the first game against Spain, which could have locked the quarterfinals through their own efforts, but lost the initiative due to some mistakes.
After the team returned home, the scene of warm welcome was gone, and the desertion of the airport reflected the disappointment and chill of the fans. Amid the criticism from the media and fans, there was no shortage of doubts about the team's strategy and internal management. According to the team, there are some problems within the team, such as the starters asking for special treatment, which includes keeping the national team's plane waiting and trying to arrange work for individual friends in the team. These actions not only affect the cohesion of the team, but can also lead to some players not giving their best in the game.
In addition, Guan Weijia and another Inspector Zhao also pointed out that there is an uneven distribution of the ball within the team. Li Yueru performed well in the first game after returning, but suddenly lost possession of the ball in the subsequent game, and this sudden change may be related to the conflict within the team. The most touching thing is that although the Chinese women's basketball team has the longest training camp, the best state is Li Yueru, who did not participate in the training camp and went to play in the WNBA.
This series of problems exposed not only technical and tactical deficiencies, but also problems of management and internal culture. The defeat of the Chinese women's basketball team is reminiscent of the Chinese women's football team in the past, their glory is gone, and the current women's basketball team is also following the same old path?
This experience is undoubtedly a painful lesson, and it teaches us that in competitive sports, any hope that relies on external forces is unreliable. The real victory can only be won by oneself one step at a time. Maybe it's time for something to change, from the management to the coaching staff to the individual players, and only by really coming together can we regain our glory in the future.
