The 2024 Olympic Games will undoubtedly be a disappointing journey for the Chinese women's basketball team.
The team's semi-final dreams were shattered in several key matches, and despite ending in victory in the final game of the group stage, they ultimately failed to qualify for the knockout rounds due to poor performances in the first two.
The first game was reversed by the opponent, the second game was defeated, and the third game was won by a large margin, but the calculation of goal difference made the team miss the subsequent games.
This ending undoubtedly left the players and fans alike feeling very disappointed.
The women's basketball team quickly returned home after the elimination was confirmed.
Yesterday at noon, the team finally embarked on a flight home.
After arriving in China, the team did not hold a welcome ceremony and went straight to the disbandment.
Everyone's mood was very heavy, especially the players, their faces were gloomy, and they completely lost the vitality on the field.
Many fans have also expressed their disappointment and frustration on social media.
Han Xu's performance became the focus of discussion.
After the game, many netizens criticized her on the forum.
A netizen wrote: Han Xu's performance on the inside is really unsatisfactory, he always floats on the outside during the game, and there is no way to break through when he encounters the opponent's defense.
Another netizen commented: Obviously, everyone had high expectations for her before the game, but she just couldn't open the situation during the game, and she felt that her whole person was restricted.
This made many fans feel very disappointed, feeling that she failed to play her due strength at critical moments.
Han Xu's performance on the offensive end was quite comprehensive.
She is very capable of breaking through and can often easily get around opponents' defenses.
On the court, as long as she accelerates, almost no one can stop her.
Especially when it matters most, she always uses her flexibility and speed to create effective attacking opportunities.
Her turnaround jumper is also one of her specialties, and opponents often can't guard against her style of shooting.
Her performance on the field also sparked discussions among many netizens.
Some fans spoke highly of Han Xu's offensive skills on the Internet.
A netizen left a message on the basketball forum and said: Han Xu's breakthrough is really amazing, watching her break through with the ball in the game, I feel like the opponent is being led by her.
Others said: Her turnaround jumper is simply incomprehensible, and her skills are really too high, especially at critical moments, which can often bring unexpected surprises to the team.
However, there are also voices that have made comments on her defensive ability.
Although Han Xu performed well on the offensive end, her performance on the defensive end also caused discussion.
In some matches, her defensive moves, while aggressive, were sometimes found by her opponents.
Some netizens spoke in the comment area: Han Xu's defense still needs to be strengthened, and sometimes it is easy for opponents to break through her defense.
Another netizen also commented that her defensive attitude is very positive, but she seems to struggle against some stronger opponents.
However, Han Xu's defensive skills have been recognized by many fans.
She is often quick to react when defending, trying to block the opposition's offensive lanes.
Against strong opponents, she relies on her physical condition and on-court experience to minimise her opponent's chances of scoring.
One fan said: Although her defense is sometimes breached, her hard work on the field is impeccable and she always provides a stable defensive guarantee for the team.
Overall, Han Xu's performance on the offensive and defensive ends has its own merits.
Her breakaway and jumper make her a threat on the offensive end, while her aggressiveness on the defensive end makes her a key defensive end.
Despite the areas for improvement, her all-round skills and hard work on the field have won the admiration of many fans.
She still has a lot of room for improvement in both offense and defense in the future, which also makes everyone look forward to her future.
Li Meng's situation is equally worrying.
Her injury clearly affected her form and she received a lot of criticism for her performance after the game.
Some fans said on social media: Li Meng's offensive performance is really distressing, her shooting percentage is ridiculously low, and the impact of the injury has not recovered well at all.
Another netizen added: It's really anxious to watch her game, I feel that she is not sure every time she shoots, and she has not been able to find her rhythm at all.
Back home, the players don't seem to have much to look forward to for the future.
Han Xu was particularly silent when he was at the airport, and he didn't want to talk much, just lowered his head and walked silently to the exit.
Li Meng's face was even more gloomy, and her injury made her feel depressed.
In an interview with the media, she simply said: This competition is really disappointing, we did our best, but this is the result.
There was a sense of helplessness and frustration in her tone.
With the Olympics coming to an end, the women's basketball team faces a complex set of adjustment tasks.
After such a disappointing season, the team urgently needs to undergo a deep self-examination.
The coaching staff and management are taking a fresh look at the team's squad, especially those who have seen a significant dip in form, such as Wu Tongtong and Yang Liwei.
Wu Tongtong's performance is worrying.
During this Olympic Games, her form was clearly not as expected, and she seemed to be unable to do it on the field many times.
Her fans have also made a lot of noise online, expressing concern about her future.
Someone commented: Wu Tongtong's performance this time is really too bad, and it feels like she is dragging her feet every time she plays.
Such voices make her future uncertain and may be reassessed by the team.
Yang Liwei's situation is also not optimistic.
In the competition, her performance has been at a low point.
Fans questioned her endlessly, and some people said: Yang Liwei's state is really disappointing, and she hasn't seen her highlights in every game.
It's really hard for her current level to occupy the main position anymore.
The team now needs to seriously consider whether they want to keep her or find other players who are more suitable to fill her place.
In addition to the assessment of existing players, the team also knew that it was necessary to start digging out and developing young players.
The addition of young players can increase the vitality and competitiveness of the team.
The team's coaches and management are thinking about how to effectively use the potential of the young players and increase the depth of the squad.
According to some team insiders, management has started to focus on some of the players who have excelled in the youth game, hoping that they can become a central force in the future.
The reshuffling of the coaching staff is also an important issue.
Zheng Wei's future has become a hot topic.
While she has had some results in previous competitions, her performance at this Olympics has clearly fallen short of expectations.
Fans and the media are full of speculation and discussion about her whereabouts.
Some voices support her to continue coaching, believing that she needs more time to lead the team to find form; Others said that if she is unable to lead the team to good results, she may need to find a new coach to bring out the best in the team.
The Chinese women's basketball team's Olympic journey ended in a disappointing elimination, and despite the team's efforts to save face in the final game, it failed to change the overall situation.
The team needs to learn from this setback, carefully analyze the problem, and make the necessary adjustments and rebuilds.
I hope to see a more mature and powerful Chinese women's basketball team in the future, regain its strength, and continue to fight for honor.
