Although Chinese women's basketball team won the runner-up in the World Cup, tying the best record in team history, head coach Zheng Wei still maintains a very clear mind. In an interview with domestic media, Zheng Wei pointed out that the Chinese women's basketball team still has a gap with the top teams in the World Championships, and she also pointed out the direction of the Chinese women's basketball team's future progress.

In this World Cup, the Chinese women's basketball team lost to the US women's basketball team twice, especially in the finals, the Chinese women's basketball team lost 22 points in the absence of Li Meng , setting a new record for the largest score difference in the Women's Basketball World Cup finals.

Through these two matches, Zheng Wei clearly saw the gap between the Chinese women's basketball team and the top team, and in her opponent, she also saw the future development direction of the Chinese women's basketball team: "In the past few years, the women's basketball team has developed rapidly. Compared with the past, the pace has faster, more physical contact, and more flexible players' positions. This is what we see in the American team. In international competitions, we still have a gap with the top teams, which also means that we still have room for improvement. This group of players has not had a lot of experience in the competition. In time, they will definitely go further."

In fact, the final of this World Cup is the end of this World Cup. The results should exceed Coach Zheng Wei's expectations: "The result is better than we expected. Our initial goal was to get a better ranking than the previous (sixth place). In my opinion, every game of this event is very important, and the first game with the South Korean team (107-44 wins) set the tone for our subsequent games."

Before this, Zheng Wei served as an assistant coach of the Chinese women's basketball team for a long time. With the change of identity, her interactions with the players have also changed accordingly: "When I was an assistant coach, I would take care of the players, but now, I should be more strict with them. Only in this way can they fully display their potential."
