Chinese women's basketball team, won again!
On the evening of September 30, the Chinese women's basketball team defeated the host Australian team 61-59 in the semi-finals of the 2022 Women's Basketball World Cup and advanced to the finals. This is after 28 years that the Chinese women's basketball team has advanced to the World Championship finals again to create a miracle after 28 years.
This is a competition of strength and will
In this game, Li Meng, the "number one scorer" Li Meng was absent from the game due to physical reasons, which affected the Chinese team's attack power to a certain extent. But judging from the competition situation, the strength of the Chinese women's basketball players cannot be underestimated! After the start of the first quarter, both teams quickly entered the game. Australia has been hitting the basket continuously, and the Chinese team fell behind 4-8. Yang Liwei and Huang Sijing teamed up to tie the score. At the end of the first quarter, the Chinese team fell behind Australia by 4 points 13-17.
enters the second quarter, Han Xu and Wang Siyu seize the opportunity and continue to make contributions to tie the score. Yang Liwei completed a three-pointer and took the lead. Han Xu, Wang Siyu and Yang Liwei scored one after another, widening the 6-point gap. Han Xu continued to kill and injure the opponent through China Central Point. At the end of the half, the Chinese team led 36-30.
Although the Australian team counterattacked fiercely in the third quarter, the Chinese team withstood the pressure and still had a 3-point advantage at the end of this quarter. In the middle of the fourth quarter, Australia overtook the score and the two sides were in a stalemate. In the last 46 seconds, the two sides fought 59 to 59.
Fight for will at critical moments!
In less than a minute, the Chinese women's basketball players gritted their teeth and successfully defended, forcing Australia to violate the rules for 24 seconds. In the last 22.3 seconds, the Chinese team made a last attack, the Australian team fouled, and Wang Siyu made both free throws. In the end, the Chinese team defeated Australia 61-59 and entered the finals.
This is a trough
From the 2015 Asian Championship final, the Japanese team lost 35 points in the Japanese team , Rio Olympics 1 win and 4 losses in the group stage, missed the quarterfinals, and set the worst result in the Olympics in 10th place, and now it has advanced to the World Championship final again. In the past 6 years, the Chinese women's basketball team has been reborn.
Since Xu Limin as head coach in March 2017, the Chinese women's basketball team has made returning to the podium of the World Championships a long-term goal and has formulated plans including two Olympic cycles. He vigorously used young players and the first competition he led the team to participate was the Asian Cup after the Asian Championships was renamed. The semi-finals met the Japanese team again, and the Chinese women's basketball team was reversed when they were once led by 9 points in the final quarter.
's failure in the world and intercontinental competitions has made this Chinese women's basketball team grow up through unwillingness to admit defeat. In 2018, in Jakarta, the Chinese women's basketball team regained the gold medal at the Asian Games after 8 years. Less than a month later, the Chinese women's basketball team defeated the Japanese team, which played with their main players in the World Cup, and finally broke the inner demon of "not defeating the Japanese team" in those years.
During this period of time, hope stars such as Li Yueru , Han Xu, Li Yuan have the opportunity to exercise on the competition stage, laying a solid foundation for the formation and consolidation of the main framework of the Chinese team in the future. In February 2020, the Chinese women's basketball team defeated the third-ranked Spanish team at the time in the Tokyo Olympics women's basketball qualifiers, and obtained Olympic qualification one round ahead of schedule.
"We must play the spirit of the Chinese women's basketball team, dare to fight tough battles, and be stronger when facing strong ones." At that time, this "super burning" pre-match mobilization of the whole team in the locker room was moving. The Tokyo Olympics narrowly defeated Australia in the group stage and the World Cup qualifiers with 33 points to defeat France in the World Cup qualifiers... The Chinese women's basketball team defeated strong enemies with their fighting spirit. The whole team is down-to-earth, has become stronger and stronger in self-confidence, and its own skills and tactics have been polished.
Finally, the Chinese women's basketball team, which has been tempered and struggled, ushered in a "harvest" this autumn of 2022.
Dare to fight and fight, and when you meet the strong, you will be stronger
"You need stability, execution, and efficiency." In the third quarter of the semi-finals, the commentator's words revealed the secret of the Chinese women's basketball players moving forward bravely.
's stable lineup is the key to the growth and progress of the Chinese women's basketball team. Although the team's training roster has been slightly adjusted at different times, since the 2018 World Cup, a team framework with Yang Liwei, Li Yuan, Wang Siyu, Li Meng , Huang Sijing, Li Yueru and Han Xu has been formed, and their cooperation with each other has become increasingly mature. In the World Cup group stage, the 10 regular rotation players of the Chinese team averaged more than 5 points per game, and 7 of them averaged more than 7 points per game. Facing the Puerto Rico, the Chinese team sent 41 assists throughout the game, bringing the team strength to the extreme.
Low-key style of conduct and efficient execution are the spiritual outlook shown by the Chinese women's basketball team. The current head coach of the Chinese women's basketball team, Zheng Wei, has served as an assistant coach of the national team for more than ten years and assisted three head coaches. He has had in-depth and meticulous observations on the technical characteristics of the team itself and its main opponents. Faced with the high expectations of the outside world for the Chinese women's basketball team, Zheng Wei always kept a calm mind, "We must first put our position right."
dares to fight when encountering strong teams, and does not relax when encountering weak teams. The quarter-finals encountered the bronze medalist of the Tokyo Olympics, France, and the Chinese team dared to fight against their opponents head-on. Li Yuan, the shortest on the court, hit the basket again and again. Huang Sijing calmly hit the free throw after suffering a body violation foul. Han Xu successfully "scored three-pointer" when the lead was reduced to 1 point. At the last moment, Huang Sijing's three-pointer that almost locked the victory... Successfully advanced to the semi-finals of the World Championship, fully confirming the comprehensive improvement of the ability and quality of the Chinese women's basketball players. In the semi-finals of
, Wang Siyu, who scored the "decisive world" at the last minute, admitted after the game: "The spirit of the women's basketball team is to dare to fight and fight. Thank you for your support, be calm and calm, and strive for tomorrow's battle with all your strength. If you encounter strong, you will be stronger. Come on!"
advance to the finals is not the end, but a new starting point. At 14:00 on October 1, the Chinese team will compete for the championship of this event. I look forward to the Chinese women's basketball girls continuing to work hard, facing difficulties, and showing off their own style and spirit!
