2022 Women's Basketball World Cup Finals, Chinese Women's Basketball 's game against the US Women's Basketball Team, there is no suspense, the Chinese Women's Basketball Team lost the game with a score difference of 22 points and won the runner-up. Even so, the peak period of the Chinese women's basketball team has arrived, and it has arrived. After the quarter-finals of France, the top scorer of the Chinese women's basketball team, Li Meng , began to have a fever, and then missed the semi-finals against the host Australia. Even so, the Chinese women's basketball team used their team and physical fitness to defeat their opponents at the last critical moment of the game and advanced to the finals. At this point, no matter how they played in the finals, they have completed the mission of this World Cup
The number one scorer of the Chinese women's basketball team, Li Meng, still failed to play in the finals. The two consecutive days of high-intensity competitions have made the women's basketball team players exhausted . On the contrary, the US women's basketball team was strong and easily won the quarter-finals and semi-finals, waiting leisurely for their opponents. Talent is still the biggest reason for widening the gap between the two sides. It is difficult to catch up with just the acquired efforts. However, the Chinese women's basketball team is more tenacious than the American women's basketball team imagined.
At the beginning of the game, the US team replaced unlimited defense, while the Chinese team led the defense directly in the half, directly stretching the intensity. The main scorer of the American women's basketball team, , Stewart , didn't feel the touch, Wilson broke through and leaned back to make up for the firepower. The Chinese team will use Li Yueru to use Dream Steps to attack the inside. So the first quarter was anxious, and the gap did not widen
2nd quarter Han Xu came on the court, and his excellent ability to protect the basket made the American team lose their grievances. Captain Yang Liwei has made many wonderful passes, Wu Tongtong hit the shot, but the score difference has not been widened. This made the American team start to change their playing style and no longer attack the inside line, but still try to make Stewart find the touch on the outside
Zheng Wei Coach boldly used the "two towers" lineup, and Han Xu supported Li Yueru at a high position, which made the American team unable to defend. The double towers protect the basket made Team USA afraid. The US team changed their moves again, avoiding its edge, and directly converted the fast break, which almost broke the game. Jin Weina 's buzzer-beating three-pointer narrowed the gap in the game to 10 points
In the second half, the US team increased its defense and shortened it to a seven-man rotation, using strong against strong, the physical strength of Chinese players gradually declined, and the double towers could not catch the rebound for a time. After the score difference reached 20 points, Wang Siyu, , rode a horse and shot archery, but he had not given up. Later, Wu Tongtong was injured at this intensity, and the morale of the Chinese team was a little low. As a result, it was divided into
. However, the Chinese team was still playing seriously, connecting the two towers at high and low positions. In the end, 6.9 seconds left in the game. Han Xu was ambushed in the right corner. After receiving the ball, he decisively made the last three-pointer in the game. Even though he stepped on the line, he still played the tactics. Even though he lost the game, the momentum was played out, especially in the first half, which made the American team dare not take it lightly
After the game, American head coach Cheryl Reeve said in an interview: " They are a very good team, very good. Li Meng It makes me feel bad if I can't play, but they are still a very, very good team. We watched them grow up, and I am very happy that they can win a long-lost silver medal, an excellent opponent. ”
The ending has been decided. For the Chinese women's basketball team, this is not the focus, but a new starting point. The peak period of the Chinese women's basketball team has arrived. The Chinese women's basketball team won the runner-up in 1992 Barcelona Olympics and won the runner-up in in 1994 World Championships. At that time, the MVP of the women's basketball team was Zheng Haixia . In the 1994 World Championships, Zheng Haixia averaged 26 points and 13 rebounds per game at 84%. Just like the NBA period, Yao Ming , it is hard to meet but not to ask for
1 Today's Chinese women's basketball team does not have MVP-level characters like Zheng Haixia and Yao Ming, and even Li Meng.The team's main player Han Xu plays as a substitute center in the WNBA New York Liberty in the US, and Li Yueru plays as a substitute center in the Chicago Sky . Han Xu played a relatively long time, while Li Yueru joined late and her playing time was unstable, and sometimes she didn't even play time
However, the opponent they and their teammates faced was the All-Star lineup of WNBA. There is no god who descends to earth, but only unites and overcomes difficulties. This is obviously much more difficult than the women's basketball team during Zheng Haixia's period and the men's basketball team during Yao Ming's period
Chinese women's basketball team experienced a trough before and could not keep the Asian championship at one time. Five years ago, after the lineup with Han Xu, Li Yueru, Li Meng, Wang Siyu, Huang Wenjing, Yang Liwei and others as the core was formed, the Chinese women's basketball team came to a new era. They overcome difficulties and make continuous progress. Finally, in this World Cup, they have achieved new achievements.
This women's basketball team is strong when they meet strong, and they can continue to improve in the game. The average age of this group of young players is only 25 years old. They are in the rising period of their careers. They can still maintain strong competitiveness and can join forces to achieve better results.
The peak period of the Chinese women's basketball team has arrived.
