On July 28, the semi-finals of the 2017 Women's Basketball Asian Cup, the Chinese women's basketball team lost to the Japanese women's basketball team 71:74. Wearing the Japanese women's basketball team's No. 1 jersey, Fujioka Ma caimi, with 19 points, 14 assists and 8 rebounds, became the most headache player in the Chinese women's basketball team.
What makes the Tall Chinese Women's Basketball Team feel helpless is that the player who played the all-round data is only 1 meter 70 in height! Standing in front of the players of the Chinese women's basketball team, Fujioka is at least half a head shorter! However, she is extremely agile, fast to start, sharp in breakthroughs, accurate in three-point shooting, and more importantly, she has a strong ability to control the rhythm of the game and organize the whole team.
What is even more incredible is that Fujioka is not the shortest player in the Japanese women's basketball team. The no. 13 player Machida Isabi is only 1 meter 62 in stature! As the captain of the team, Yoshida Yasami is only 1 meter 65 tall. It is such a group of small players that the Chinese women's basketball team has tasted failure for the second time in two years.
The Japanese women's basketball team participating in this women's basketball Asian Cup has an average height of 1.77 meters, and among the teams that have reached the quarterfinals of the Asian Cup, the Japanese women's basketball team is the shortest in average height. However, their speed is very fast, the basic skills of each player are particularly solid, the awareness of empty cutting is very strong, and the overall combat ability is excellent.
In contrast, the average height of the Chinese women's basketball team is dominant, and the height of the inner line is unmatched by the Japanese women's basketball team. However, in terms of speed and overall coordination, the Chinese women's basketball team is obviously inferior to its opponents.
