Taiyuan, October 29 (Xinhua) -- As the start of the 2021-2022 China Women's Basketball League (WCBA) draws closer and closer, the Shanxi women's basketball team is preparing for the final stages of the new season, and coach Garcia said that the team will work hard to play team basketball in the new season and fully impact the playoffs.
In the offseason this year, the Shanxi women's basketball team introduced a strong forward support Wang Xuehao, signing a group of young players such as Zhai Ruoyun. At the same time, Wu Tongtong, who followed the national team to the international arena, has just returned to the team. Garcia said that the team has a lot of new faces, everyone played together for a very short time, the cooperation is not tacit enough, and it needs to continue to strengthen in the next training.
Speaking about the tactical play style of the new season, Garcia said the team will stick to playing team basketball. "Wu Tong Tong is still one of our cores, and we will develop some tactics around her." "But we need all the players to get involved, both offensively and defensively, to try to play team basketball, and that's what we're going to do," he said. ”
Asked about the goals of the new season, Garcia mentioned two points: one is to impact the playoffs, and the other is to train new people to train the team.
"In my opinion, there are seven or eight teams in the league right now that are better on paper than we are." Garcia said, "But it's not just paper power that's competing on the field, we have to work hard to fight for a playoff spot." ”
In addition, he said that another important task of the team in the new season is to train the team and cultivate new talents. "We are a young team and we have to keep learning, grinding and building 'chemistry' in the game." "Younger players will also get more opportunities and exercises because our eyes are not just on the new season in the present, but on the longer term," he said. ”
It is reported that the Shanxi women's basketball team is about to leave for Sichuan for a two-week training camp, where they will make the final sprint for the new season.
