united as one, you can summarize the game of Chinese women's basketball team defeating Australia. After Li Meng was absent, the Chinese women's basketball team still showed a good overall performance. Although the offensive end was bumpy, the defensive work was not lost at all. In the hard battle with Australia, China won the game by defense. There are three main points in the specific summary. In addition, the performance of two players in this game is indeed worthy of establishing the team's foundation.
The first point is to protect the rim. It is true that China lost a lot of rebounds, but Australia can only end at the bottom of the basket, so after the rebound is obtained, it still has to come to the basket. Han Xu can not only assist in time, but when Han Xu stands at the bottom of the basket, he can almost hold down the opponent's low post and breakthrough every time. Tolo is an example. There is no way to do it at the basket, and he will be blocked if he is strong. Whitcomb and others go to attack the rim. Han Xu can also cover it. Australia's shooting percentage has just exceeded 30%. There is Han Xu's contribution. Li Yueru has been considered as the only way to protect the rim, but the overall movement is a bit slower. Of course, Han Xu's height advantage is also the core reason.
The second is high-intensity defense. From the whole game, Australia's strength is not as high as China. It is only because the referee on duty gave Australia too many false free throws, which makes it more aggressive. In fact, China puts more pressure. In the first quarter, Whitcomb's hand style was very smooth, and he could basically make an attack with just one cover. However, China can change defense and stick to the opponent in time from the second position to the fourth position. For example, Zhang Ru and Huang Sijing , it is difficult for Australia to easily get rid of China's entanglement. It seems that the first and second energy-saving shots were made, but from the third quarter, Australia's outside line, led by Whitcomb was silent. It had long collapsed without free throws to save the game. The close score can only be said to be a help from the call. In the first two events of
, it is obvious that Han Xu and Huang Sijing's role is good. Han Xu's low-post skills are good, and his shooting is a killer weapon, and he has a height. This ensures that in addition to being double-teamed by multiple people, Han Xu can release offensive potential well. Of course, if Han Xu catches the ball at the bottom of the basket, those few hits are useless. Although Huang Sijing's shots are inaccurate in this game, his previous mature shooting and holding the ball are indispensable. The more important contribution of the two is that Han Xu can defend the basket and not be afraid of low posts. Even the American team will find it difficult to challenge easily. Huang Sijing has defended from one to five, from small to large, and can switch defenses in time, and can protect rebounds. These two are enough to help China build a stable defensive system.
The third point is not to lose the points you should get. The mistakes and the intensity of the game are related to the mentality. This is normal and it is impossible to maintain a stable state all the time. However, some points that cannot be lost, especially free throws, are well-behaved by the Chinese women's basketball team. You should know that in such a tense and high-confrontational game, the Chinese women's basketball team can still maintain the efficiency of 11 free throws, which is quite rare. On the other hand, the opponent Australia lost 5 of 15 free throws in the game. Some people may look down on the score of free throws, but China won two points in the whole game. The last two points of the game were also won by free throws. Australia lost these five points, which directly led to the team's defeat.
Among all basketball skills, free throws are the most basic and best practice. Compared with three-pointers, emergency stop jump shots and back-to-one singles , free throws are events that can give away points steadily. If you can't even do the most basic projects well, unless you are talented, don't expect other abilities to be developed. The girls of our Chinese women's basketball team are actually not that outstanding in their talents except for the inside double towers, but they only rely on good basic skills, simple defense and shooting to reach the World Cup finals. Sometimes the simplest technology is often the best weapon to decide the game. On the other hand, some European and American women's basketball team and our Chinese men's basketball team always lose these points that should not be lost, and it is not surprising that they lose or regress.
