At 73:78, in the final of the Women's Basketball Asian Cup last night, the Chinese girls lost to the Japanese women's basketball team and came in second. The big crash of 0-12 in the last quarter, looking at the technical statistics of up to 14 mistakes in the whole field, the idea of wanting to win and afraid of losing brought too much pressure to the girls...
"Are you afraid of losing?"
Xu Limin briefly woke up the girls in the second half of the "golden sentence", but in the face of the Japanese women's basketball team that could hardly run to death, the pressure on the girls was obvious. Ten years, ten years of championships have been taken away by Japan, 15 years of Japanese women's basketball championship photos even if taken down are engraved in the girl's heart, this pressure let the Chinese team on the field distracted...
The group stage and the semi-finals are big wins, and it is easy to get tickets to the women's basketball World Cup to advance to the final, but these are the messages from the outside world. And the more this is the more Chinese girls want to win, not to mention that the women's basketball Asian Cup is not the strongest lineup of the Japanese women's basketball team.
Only five of the Japanese team competed in the Tokyo Olympics, and another three in the three-person women's basketball program, while the coach who miraculously brought the Japanese women's basketball team to the Olympic final, Tom Hovas, was also promoted to the Japanese men's basketball team, replaced by Otsuka, a video analyst on the Hovas team. How to say that the opponent's changes are much more than the Chinese women's basketball team, and the adjustment from the head coach to the players is quite a trend of training new recruits.
In the face of an average height of only 1.77 meters, the highest is only 1.86 meters of opponents, the average height of 1.86 meters we just want to chisel to the inside line, want to crush the opponent through the twin towers of Li Yueru and Han Xu, but who knows that it is the "trap" of others, when you want the ball, there is still a person behind you, and when you get the ball, you will be caught, Li Yueru's "2+1" of the flying immortals seems to be powerful, but it is exhausted, and Han Xu has only 4 points in the account after the whole game...
And the more you can't play, the more you have to play, and the mistakes under the impatient mentality will also increase, if it is not Huang Sijing's 4 three-pointers, the suspense of the game may be ended before the end of the game.
The Chinese girls really fought, 14 mistakes than the opponent 9 times more can still be in the final moments of the game with the opponent, but such an old problem is too serious, the Tokyo Olympic Games 1/4 final and Serbia's 23 mistakes are still vivid, this time let the women's basketball team pay a more painful price.
With this, there is a question about head coach Xu Limin, after signing a "3+1" contract with the Chinese Basketball Association in 2017, this year's Women's Basketball Asian Cup did not win the championship, which will affect Xu Limin's coaching prospects, not to mention that there are inevitably some problems in the on-field command on the field. But have we ever thought that without Xu Limin and his words, the current Chinese women's basketball team can still achieve such achievements?
Everyone knows that the women's basketball training hall has hung two photos of the Japanese women's basketball team climbing to the top, in the 2015 Women's Basketball Asian Cup at home, the Chinese women's basketball team lost 35 points in the final, and Xu Limin as an assistant coach at the time, he knew the feeling of losing miserably in the final. The photo is hung for the players to see, but at the same time it is also hung for himself to see, and Xu Limin, who is from the military, needs this kind of stimulation and needs this anger.
But Xu Limin is not only angry, he also has thoughts, in the blood exchange work of China's three major balls, Xu Limin's hands and feet are very fast, because age and injury are important factors that limit the development of women's basketball, just as he faced Australia in the Olympic group stage, the words he said to the girls "This step must be crossed in the past, and it is better to cross the future than to cross now." Indeed, Xu Limin knows that change will inevitably go through pain, but this is the quality of soldiers, resolutely implemented!
From the return of the Asian Cup in 17 years, han Xu, Li Yuan, Wang Siyu, Pan Zhenqi and many other young players have been summoned to the national team, of which Han Xu and Li Yuan have no professional league experience, and it has to be said that Xu Limin is really big-hearted, and the team of the 17-year Asian Cup has only left 5 players such as Li Meng, Li Yueru, Huang Sijing, Sun Mengran and Shao Ting. In this Asian Cup, he resolutely abandoned the veterans Shao Ting and Sun Mengran, and brought two newcomers, Li Yifan and Yang Hengyu. Surprisingly, Yang Hengyu was still on the key moment for 2 minutes in last night's final...
To ensure the healthy age structure of the women's basketball team, the Chinese team has already walked on the right path, and in the game, it can use the most simple and powerful words to convey the correct ideas to the players, "Olympic games, desperate to rush ah! "I can't vote for mine, but you must vote decisively"... It is this sentence that makes the Chinese women's basketball team the most affordable team in China's three major balls, even if it loses, the women's basketball girls have gained!
Who knows how long the Chinese women's basketball team has not rested? Roughly calculated, from march 14 to the end of the Asian Cup last night, the Chinese women's basketball team has been more than 200 days without a good rest, just like this to see the super long training + isolation, after experiencing the Olympic Games, the National Games and the Asian Cup, the Chinese women's basketball team even if there are regrets, but it is enough to be respected, and these achievements are completely inseparable from the coachIng of coach Xu Limin.
Ten years of regrets could not be made up last night, but as the most successful team in China's three major balls at this stage, after the retirement of Miao Lijie and Chen Nan's generation of female basketball players, their growth has made the Chinese women's basketball team out of the haze. Please believe in this group of girls, if you can also continue to believe in Xu Limin, so that we can afford to lose, we can win!
Girls, please rest well!
Come on!
