Good news! At present, the Chinese women's basketball team stranded in Serbia due to the epidemic situation, as of February 25, Beijing time, has been no new positive for 6 consecutive days, the current body temperature of all personnel is normal, in all 10 confirmed positive cases, a total of 8 positive cases have turned negative, that is to say, there are only 2 positive cases left.
Recently, there has been no war in the Chinese basketball world, and the third stage of the CBA League will not start until March 1, but it does not mean that basketball fans do not care about Chinese basketball. For example, the Chinese women's basketball team that is stranded in Serbia has made domestic fans worry about their stomachs.
The Chinese women's basketball team, which originally played the World Cup qualifiers, prepared to return to the dprk on Valentine's Day, but at the moment before the departure, a sudden unexpected situation delayed the journey back to China. In the routine nucleic acid test before returning to China, 2 of the 26 chinese women's basketball team visited the team with positive nucleic acid test results, and the other 24 people tested negative.
In the days that followed, the number of positive cases on the team increased to 10. The whole team conducted quarantine observation on the spot and postponed the return to China.
After the emergency occurred, the Chinese Basketball Association immediately launched an emergency plan, provided full support and guarantee from the psychological, medical and daily aspects, and communicated closely with FIBA to contact the Chinese Embassy in Serbia to obtain all-round and powerful support and help.
It is worth mentioning that Yao Ming, chairman of the Chinese Basketball Association, made a video connection with each member of the visiting team, expressed concern and respect, and expressed to everyone that the Chinese Basketball Association has the determination and confidence to bring everyone back to China and bring them to their families.
It has been more than 10 days since the stay in a foreign country, and after the last two cases of positive and negative, returning to China is also on the agenda, but the Chinese women's basketball team will definitely have more or less impact on the preparation for the World Cup. In this World Preliminary Tournament, the Chinese women's basketball team won three battles and three victories, and successfully got the ticket for the 2022 Australian Women's Basketball World Cup European Main Tournament. All 12 teams currently participating in the competition have been selected, and a group drawing ceremony will be held in Sydney on 3 March.
The Tokyo Olympics unfortunately stopped in the quarterfinals and participated in the Women's Basketball World Cup held in Australia in September this year, this Chinese women's basketball team is not only highly expected by the Chinese Basketball Association, Chinese fans also hope that the Chinese women's basketball team will have an excellent performance in the World Cup. However, the sudden outbreak of the epidemic disrupted the normal preparation and training of the Chinese women's basketball team. Fortunately, the women's basketball girls were peaceful in the face of this emergency, not much affected, everyone maintained a positive and optimistic attitude, Li Meng, Yang Shuyu, Zhang Ru and other team members have issued a voice on the social platform to report safety.
I sincerely hope that the Chinese women's basketball team will overcome difficulties, work hard to prepare, and strive to play a beautiful turnaround battle in the World Cup.
