China News Network Client Beijing, October 1 (Wang Sishuo) On the 1st of Beijing time, the 2018 Spanish Women's Basketball World Cup officially ended. Chinese women's basketball lost 67:81 in the ranking match against the French women's basketball team, winning 6th place in this World Cup.
Starting from the quarter-finals, the Chinese team has successively encountered strong opponents ranked 3-5 in the world. When facing an opponent who is far stronger than his own, the women's basketball girls are not afraid of it. After losing to the Australian Women's Basketball Team, they quickly adjusted their mentality and regained their face in Canada with a refreshing big reversal. Just two years ago, Canada defeated the Chinese team with a huge advantage of 22 points. Facing France's last game, although the Chinese team lost the hardship, the game was not one-sided.

At the beginning of the game, the Chinese team's forward team felt hot, while France seemed to have insufficient concentration and made consecutive mistakes. The smooth Chinese women's basketball team once established a 14-point lead, which was also the brightest time period for the Chinese team in the game. The second quarter of the second quarter, the French team quickly adjusted, and the world's strong team began to emerge. With the decline in China's offensive efficiency, France seized the opportunity to achieve a 22:1 offensive climax. At the end of the half, the Chinese team fell behind by 1 point.
The second half started with both sides, and the scores rose alternately. Until the middle of the third quarter, the French team suddenly exerted force to gradually widen the gap, while China fell into a long scoring drought, and the opponent once again made a 24:5 offensive wave. When the Chinese team gradually stabilized the situation in the last quarter, the score difference also reached an irreversible point. As time went by, the game gradually lost its suspense, and in the end, the score was frozen at 67:81.
team core Shao Ting contributed a tie for the highest 16 points in this game. After the game, she also said that this loss was the price paid for growth. "Today we played our characteristics, the score has always been biting the opponent. The French team is indeed very strong. We have not grasped it well in some time periods, but this is the price of our growth. Through the game against strong teams and accumulating experience, it has particularly great benefits for all aspects of our development."
In addition to the Sino-France battle, the other three games held on that day also concern the final ranking of this World Cup, which is also eye-catching. In the latest final, the U.S. Women's Basketball Team defeated Australia, the favorite to win the championship, for the first time, and achieved three consecutive World Cup championships. It is worth mentioning that the two sides have met 18 times in the official competition, and the US team has not lost yet. Spain, who played at home, revenges the dark horse Belgium with 67:60, winning the third place. Canada narrowly defeated Nigeria with 73:72, ranking 7.

The United States, Australia, Spain, Belgium, France, China, Canada, Nigeria... The top 8 rankings were announced one by one, and the Women's Basketball World Cup also ended successfully in the hustle and bustle. The Chinese women's basketball team finished 6th, which was the same as the 2014 World Championships. In the post-match summary of
, Xu Limin evaluated the players' performance in this World Cup. "It's not 10 points, but 12 points, or even 120 points. This team performed very well. I really didn't expect that this team could show such a great energy when there was such a big change of personnel. It's not because of strength, experience, and technical and tactical abilities, but because of spirit, vitality and vitality. Everyone united to seize such a little opportunity and was lucky to be here."
And the little things experienced in this journey are far more valuable than a simple ranking. The women's basketball girls under Coach Xu not only successfully achieved the expected goals set before the game, but also achieved some results in confrontation with world-class teams. This is the best experience for a young team.
Looking at this national team list, many of the main players of the Chinese team are under 20 years old. The new forces represented by Han Xu , Li Yueru , Li Yuan are not frightened and are brave enough to take responsibility. They can't help but make people look forward to the upper limit and potential of this team.After gaining the "first experience" of the World Championship, they may bring more surprises to people in multiple aspects such as technology and spirit.

At the same time, Xu Liming also spoke out loudly that the main tasks this year have been completed, and calming summary and thinking are also essential. "Summary, take a few days off, and then (the players) return to various clubs. The whole year of work has ended. The current summary work is also for the next year's work. Now we need to consider: What to do next year? The idea is now moving to the next year."
First of all, the stability of the Chinese team needs to be further improved. In the first game, facing the Latvia , which was less powerful than that of its own, the Chinese team almost "submerged" and relied on the Shao Ting's last-minute free throw to win the victory. If the first show needs to adapt to the rhythm of the competition, the problems exposed in the quarter-finals with Australia are even more real. Facing the tough Australian women's basketball team, the Chinese team made 3 of 21 three-pointers, ending the entire game in a panic. In the eyes of coach Xu Liming, this is the price the team paid for their youth. "People's expectations for this team have been invisibly increased, which is also an invisible pressure on the players. They are too worried about gains and losses. This is related to the young and lack of experience in this team," said Director Xu.
Secondly, the gap between the women's basketball team and the world's top teams in terms of strength and confrontation is clearly visible. Looking back at the journey of the Chinese women's basketball team in this World Cup, they have had direct confrontations with four top 5 teams in the world, with joy and sorrow in the ending, but the problems exposed in the confrontation always exist, which should be faced with face. It is urgent to catch up with the opponent's pace, strengthen strength training, and improve the intensity of confrontation.

Finally, the future development direction of the Chinese women's basketball team must be clarified as soon as possible. If the Chinese women's basketball team wants to reach a higher position, they naturally have to show their determination and courage to "rush out of Asia and go to the world." Looking at the world women's basketball world, strong teams have their own unique playing style. The Chinese team must not limit the offensive focus to several tall inside players in order to restrain the "small quick spirit" style of South Korea and Japan. A day or later, there will always be a day to face the strong European and American teams, and the lessons learned by the Chinese women's basketball team in this World Cup are profound enough. How to improve speed, optimize details, consolidate basic skills, and improve shooting percentage while maintaining the strength of the inside line, these complex problems are still waiting for Coach Xu and his players to overcome one by one.
Soon, the Chinese team will return with full load and devote themselves to the preparations for the next stage of the Tokyo Olympic cycle. Xu Liming was very alert: "The teams in the world do not understand us, and Asia does not understand us. Now all our things are shown, and the other party understands us, which invisibly increases us a lot of difficulties." There is no doubt that the road to the Olympic podium is still long, and it may not be achieved overnight, but as long as we maintain an enterprising spirit, be cautious in arrogance, be brave in fighting, and dare to fight, the fire of hope will be a prairie fire.
