On September 30, Beijing time, in the semi-finals of the Women's Basketball World Cup, the Chinese team narrowly defeated Australia 61-59 and entered the finals as they wished. At the post-match press conference, Chinese Women's Basketball coach Zheng Wei commented.
Zheng Wei said that the victory of the Chinese women's basketball team is hard-won: "The game in this venue is like home court. The encouragement of Chinese fans on the scene has brought us a lot of energy. Although we have also encountered many difficulties, especially Li Meng cannot play the game because of illness, which has also brought a great impact on us. But everyone was not intimidated by the difficulties and still insisted on their own offense and defense. This is done well. When there are players who cannot play, we need more people to stand up, and other players have achieved their own extremes on the court, and I am very happy to be able to win."
Zheng Wei thanked the coaching staff and players: "The Chinese women's basketball team was able to perform well in this World Cup, first of all, because of the excellent coaching team, and the communication and cooperation between each other are very harmonious. In addition, the players did a very good job on the court. They have made their abilities to the extreme and achieved the best in both spiritual and technical and tactical performance. I am also proud of them."
Zheng Wei then talked about the team's attention when going to the final with the United States tomorrow: "Australia The team's offensive rebounds have caused us great difficulties, and we need to improve in this regard. Tomorrow's final with the United States, I hope we can do better. Only by improving the ball can we take the initiative in the game. Our defense in this game is very good, but the ball is not taken down, which makes us more difficult to play. "
Looking forward to tomorrow's China-US finals, Zheng Wei said that the most important thing for the Chinese women's basketball team is to do their best: "Everyone knows that the overall strength of the American women's basketball team is relatively strong and has outstanding Personal ability. In the finals, we will cherish this opportunity very much and show our best mental outlook and technical and tactical style. As long as we do ourselves well, everything else is not important. In the first match, the US team put a huge pressure on us on the defensive end. When we fight again, we will do better in dealing with the pressure, and we also need to play more teamwork."
Then Zheng Wei expressed her gratitude to the fans again: "Just as I said just now, the game here is like At home, the fans' shouts gave us great energy, which also played a very critical role in our performance. Thanks to the majority of fans, I hope they can continue to cheer for us tomorrow."
Li Meng missed this game because of a fever. Zheng Wei said when talking: "Because she has a fever today, we should consider the health of the players and let her rest today. As for whether she will play tomorrow, we must also check her physical condition. We hope she can get better as soon as possible and participate in the game tomorrow."
