Speaking of which, the Chinese women's basketball team's trip to Europe this time was not all smooth sailing. In the first two group games, the Chinese women's basketball team won the first game, defeating the Turkish women's basketball team. However, in the subsequent showdown with the Spanish women's basketball team, they regretted to swallow the defeat. This game not only lost by one score, but also exposed the poor overall state of the team, and there were many problems in coordination. This makes people involuntarily ask: can such a performance turn the tide in the next game?
At present, the Chinese women's basketball team is about to usher in the third warm-up game with the Belgian women's basketball team at 2:20 a.m. on June 29. Although the Belgian women's basketball team has a good strength, hovering between sixth and seventh in the world all year round, the Chinese women's basketball team still has a lot of psychological advantages over this opponent in terms of historical records. Recalling the group stage of the 2021 Tokyo Olympics and the 2022 Women's Basketball World Cup, the Chinese women's basketball team defeated Belgium by a big score and proved its strength.
But history is history after all, and reality is reality. Although we have had great times in the past, that doesn't guarantee that every game in the future will go well. Especially in the previous poor performance against the Spanish women's basketball team, this time against the Belgian women's basketball team is undoubtedly an important test. The Chinese women's basketball team needs to adjust its state in a short period of time and solve the problems in coordination, which is a big challenge for the coaching team and players.
Fortunately, Li Meng, the ace player of the Chinese women's basketball team, seems to have recovered from injury and is expected to return in this crucial game. Her return will undoubtedly greatly enhance the team's attacking power. In addition, Han Xu, Yang Liwei, Huang Sijing and other main players will also join forces, hoping to face the Belgian women's basketball team with the best lineup.
After all, with less than a month to go until the Paris Olympics, every game counts. The Chinese women's basketball team needs to find its best form in these warm-up matches to ensure that it can play its best at the Olympics and compete for Olympic medals with strong teams such as Puerto Rico and Serbia.
It can be said that this match against the Belgian women's basketball team is not only an ordinary warm-up game, but also an important milestone towards Paris. The whole team must unite as one, adjust the strategy, and play at the level it should be. After all, the joy of victory and the brilliance of Olympic medals need to be forged through tough battles.
