htmlOn the 22nd, Women's Basketball World Cup will start in Australia. Chinese women's basketball team The opponent in the first match that day was the South Korean team. In this game, the overall strength of the Chinese women's basketball team is in full swing, and they will not encounter too strong challenges. For the Chinese women's basketball team, their primary goal is to gradually find the feeling of the game through the competition.

Before the start of the World Cup, FIBA ​​ updated the team strength list, Korean women's basketball ranked 11th among all the 12 participating teams. This reflects the strength level of this Korean women's basketball team to a certain extent. Park Ji-soo, the biggest player in the Korean women's basketball team, was absent, which was the biggest pain for the Korean women's basketball team. Park Ji-soo, who currently plays for the WNBA Las Vegas Ace, has absolutely no replacement for the Korean women's basketball team, but this time she missed the World Cup. The Korean women's basketball team lost the team's top player and offensive core. Their strength has dropped significantly. The Korean women's basketball team, which lacks core, suffers even more in the inside line. According to the 12-man roster announced before the game, the two centers of the Korean women's basketball team are 1.85 meters tall and the other is 1.84 meters tall. The two absolute centers of the Chinese women's basketball team, Han Xu and Li Yueru, are 2 meters and 2 meters 05 respectively. Such a height gap will be directly reflected on the court in many aspects. The Chinese women's basketball team will likely present a situation of "big against small" in this game.

The overall style of Korean women's basketball team is mainly based on outside shooting, and is good at fast attack and counterattack. But for the Chinese women's basketball team, as long as they can play their advantages in the inside, this game will soon enter their game pace. And the Chinese women's basketball team will not encounter challenges that their opponents are too strong. The most important thing for the Chinese women's basketball team in this game is to gradually find the rhythm of the game and gradually "cultivate" the tough battles behind it.

In addition to the United States, the strongest opponents in the group where the Chinese women's basketball team is located are Bosnia and Herzegovina and Belgium. These two games are the second and last game of the group stage respectively. Two tough battles will determine the final ranking of the Chinese women's basketball team in the group. Although it is not difficult for the Chinese women's basketball team to qualify in the group (top four), if they want to reach the second place in the group, their main competitors are Bosnia and Herzegovina and Belgium. Therefore, the most important thing for the Chinese women's basketball team when facing weaker opponents is to train and find their state, and accumulate strength for the tough battles behind them.
