2022 FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup has come to an end. Chinese women's basketball lost to the US team 61-83 in the final, winning the runner-up, tying the best record in history!
History, amazing similarity
When she was thrown high by the girls of women's basketball , I wonder if the thoughts of Chinese women's basketball coach Zheng Wei will return to the midsummer 28 years ago in an instant.
1994 Women's Basketball World Championships, Sydney, Australia, the Chinese women's basketball team made two free throws before the final game with No. 5 player Li Xin , eliminating the host Australia 66-65, and advanced to the World Championships final for the first time. At that time, the current head coach of the Chinese women's basketball team, Zheng Wei and deputy leader Wang Fang were both members of the team. "Who is not the top two in the world? Don't talk about this in the future!" Huang Sijing jokingly said to Wang Fang in the locker room after the game.
fate is amazing. 28 years later, the Chinese women's basketball team faced the same opponent in the semi-finals. They fought again until the decisive moment. The one who stood up happened to be the No. 5 player. Wang Siyu from Shandong once again showed the characteristics of a big heart, hitting two key free throws, helping the team beat Australia 61-59, and once again set foot on the World Cup finals that symbolized the highest level of the world women's basketball team. This scene is just as the protagonist said, "Dream back to 1994!"
It is worth mentioning that the meritorious star of the Chinese women's basketball team, Zheng Haixia, , scored 36 points and 14 rebounds in the semi-finals 28 years ago. 28 years later, another center forward, who was also from Henan, was born in , Han Xu, and , just like his predecessors, led the direction of the game. 19 points, 11 rebounds, 5 blocks and 2 steals were the results handed over by Han Xu in the semi-finals. According to statistics, this is the first player on the Women's Basketball World Cup stage to be able to play 15+10+5 data since the 21st century. Such dominant performance has made the head coach of the Australian team and Han Xu, also the head coach of the New York Liberty team in the WNBA, Sandy, couldn't help but sigh: "Han Xu is too difficult to defend. Unfortunately, my disciples attacked me a bit too ruthless today, and she played really well."
silver medal, collective strength,
As the semi-final MVP, Han Xu's performance is almost perfect, but it is also impeccable, which is the ultimate embodiment of the Chinese women's basketball team's basketball team.
With such a intensive schedule, the Chinese women's basketball team has demonstrated its advantage in lineup depth this World Cup. Against the US team, people remember the names of Li Meng and Wang Siyu; against the knockout match against the French team, Huang Sijing and Li Yuan are praised; against the Australian team in the semi-finals, Yang Liwei and Han Xu became the key players in the game; against the US team again in the final, Li Yueru and Wu Tongtong’s courage is eye-catching, "You never know who will stand up, but there will always be someone to stand up." This may be the success and foundation of this generation of Chinese women’s basketball team, so it is not difficult to explain why the team can be in chaos without the lack of the number one scorer Li Meng.
ranked second in 12 teams per game, and contributed an astonishing 41 assists in a single game against Puerto Rico. Compared with the final result of winning the runner-up, the Chinese women's basketball team's smooth and free performance during the entire World Cup stage is even more engraved in the minds of every fan. "This is what we have always asked for in training. This is our style and characteristics, and we must adhere to integrity." After taking over Xu Limin as the new head coach of the Chinese women's basketball team, Zheng Wei injected new vitality into the team, and her bold use of people is also the finishing touch of this World Cup mdash;mdash; against Puerto Rico, she tried the double tower combination for the first time; against the group stage against the United States, Dilana was sent to the third quarter, and 10 points beat the opponent in a single quarter; against the Australian team in the semi-finals, boldly activated Jinweina . Even the two players outside the regular 10-man rotation of the Chinese women's basketball team can have unexpected results under her, which is amazing.
The future is extremely anticipated by
After standing on the podium of the international competition for the fifth time, the new Chinese women's basketball team has tied the brilliant achievements of their predecessors, and this is just the starting point of a new chapter.This team, with an average age of only 25, has every reason to believe that they can create their own history in the future. "We don't have the chance to create history, but you still have a chance." Wang Fang, deputy leader of the Chinese women's basketball team, said that this is the expectation of his predecessors and the vision of all fans.
opens in clusters, opens without fear, fights without fear, fights without fear, and never stops! This Chinese women's basketball team has fallen several times before dawn, and finally ushered in its own dawn in Sydney, Australia. They fulfilled their promises before the game with perfect performance and presented the best birthday gift to their motherland with a result comparable to gold medals.
Whether it is the top two in the world or the second in the world, today when the world's women's basketball world is reshuffled, I believe that the Chinese women's basketball team is not satisfied with this! In Paris, France two years later, we look forward to the rejuvenation of the Fearless Golden Orchids!
