On June 5, Beijing time, the Chinese women's basketball team played a warm-up game with Japan in Xi'an, and the Chinese women's basketball team played three consecutive warm-up games with Australia last week.
Of course, with several main players Han Xu and Li Meng, who did not participate with the team, they are still absent and injured. Problems such as weak physical confrontation, low free throw shooting percentage, and poor rebounding protection have been exposed before, which are all meanings of warm-up game training.
The Chinese women's basketball team entered the state relatively quickly, and soon hit three points, plus two free throws, and hit 5-0, Japan launched a counterattack, hitting continuously, Wang Siyu then hit a three-pointer, Japan also came with three points, and then the Chinese women's basketball team maintained the score lead, Japan's offense was affected, and the Chinese women's basketball team played another wave of climax, leading by 7 points in the first quarter 20-13.
At the beginning of the second quarter, the Chinese women's basketball team felt poor, missed in a row, and Japan's offense was also blocked, indicating that the Chinese women's basketball team defended well, up to 5 minutes, Pan Zhenqi shot 2 points, Japan then hit three points, chased 22-22, Wu Tongtong actually made 2 free throws and 0 hits, but fortunately hit a counterattack in the back, and the two fell into a struggle, 31-31 to end the half.
In the third quarter, the Chinese women's basketball team launched again, Yang Shuyu and Pan Zhenqi hit one after another, Mai Yamamoto shot three points, Jin Weina helped the Chinese women's basketball team lead again in time, and the two teams made mistakes and missed the attack, and the Chinese women's basketball team continued to lead by a small score, 48-45 to finish the third quarter.
In the last quarter, the Japanese women's basketball team quickly launched a counterattack, hit 2 goals in a row, and achieved a reversal, the Chinese women's basketball team still did not find a touch in three points, Yang Shuyu and Wang Siyu hit 2 points, Takada Maki counterattacked, Japan was already 57-52 ahead, Zhang Ru finally came to a three-point shot, Jin Weina made 0 free throws, and the back could not catch up, losing to Japan 58-61.
The team lost 20-31 in rebounds to Japan by 11, free throws: 2-16 China, assists: 17-14 China. Japan shot 41.7% from the field compared to China's 41.2%, Japan shot 9-of-26 from three-point range with a 34.6% shooting rate, and China shot 6-of-23 from the field with a 27.3% shooting rate.
Wang Siyu and Jin Weina each grabbed 5 rebounds and tied for the highest on the team, Wang Siyu was 2 of 10, obviously in a sluggish state and depressed.
Li Meng, Han Xu, Huang Sijing, Li Yueru, the four famous players were absent, the Chinese team only lost 3 points in the whole game, only nine players played, and the loss was not ugly.
Some netizens said that it was okay for this lineup to play like this... The referee didn't have to do that in the fourth quarter... Since the defense can't keep up, it's okay to change people in the cover, giving people too many big and small opportunities... The state of this small day is also average, and it should be more difficult to play.
Tang Yu still can't stand on the inside, Pan Zhenqi is used to the No. 4 position, and it is difficult to get to the basket. It is precisely because the Chinese women's basketball team does not have an advantage on the inside, the Japanese team can concentrate its firepower to press the defensive outside line, and firmly grasp the rhythm of the game by three consecutive points at critical moments. In this game, Li Meng and Han Xu both appeared on the sidelines of the arena, and I don't know if the coach can arrange the next game?
Without the echo of the inside line, it will be difficult for Japan to win more sports battles, thanks to the difficult opponent of the Japanese women's basketball team, she makes you negligent and always in a state of high concentration, the warm-up game is very valuable, and the Chinese women's basketball team has a lot of reflection.
The free throws were 16-2 in the game, which of course had something to do with Japan's style, but first, the women's basketball team made 10 of 16 free throws and scored 58 of 100 free throws in four warm-up games.
In the first game of the Australian women's basketball team some time ago, there was a scoring drought in the fourth quarter, scoring only 5 points in a single quarter, and in this game, we also had a scoring drought in the second and fourth quarters of the game, both of which took about 7 minutes to score 2 and 4 points respectively.
In fact, judging from the whole game, the Chinese women's basketball team exposed some problems.
1. There is no main point of attack at the critical moment, and he often passes the ball until the last few seconds before making a hasty shot. The absence of several core players did make the main attack point on the field, and several players still couldn't find a suitable opportunity after transmission.
2. There are often communication errors in the defensive rotation, and it is easy for the opponent to have empty positions after covering. Or our players subconsciously went to make up for the defense, but instead gave the Japanese women's basketball team a chance to break through.
3. The free throw shooting rate is too low. In the past, the free throws of the Chinese women's basketball team were very stable, but in recent warm-up games, the free throws have a low shooting rate.
It's a good thing that there are problems, and the Chinese women's basketball team, which is preparing for the Olympics, still has time to adjust and optimize. Of course, we are very pleased to see the return of Wu Tongtong's state and Yang Shuyu's courage to fight. Although it was a disappointing loss, this is the meaning of the warm-up game.
