In the early morning of June 30, Beijing time, the Chinese women's basketball team ended its last warm-up game in Europe and lost to the Serbian women's basketball team 82-93, thus ending 4 warm-up games and ending the trip to Europe with 3 consecutive defeats. Next, the Chinese women's basketball team will start a new journey, go to Australia, and play two more warm-up games with the powerful Australian women's basketball team. So, the question is, will Li Meng, who has missed 9 warm-up games, return to the savior this time?
The Chinese women's basketball team went to practice in mid-June, and this trip to Europe mainly arranged 4 warm-up games, except for the first game that narrowly defeated the Turkish women's basketball team 56-51, the remaining 3 games can be said to be ugly to lose one by one.
Against the Olympic group opponent Spain, the Chinese women's basketball team was beaten 46-70 in the situation of Han Xu's comeback, losing by as many as 24 points. Against the world's strong rival Belgium women's basketball team, the Chinese team lost 63-78. In the final game, against the Olympic group stage opponent Serbian women's basketball team, the result was 82-93 defeat.
The Chinese women's basketball team suffered three consecutive defeats and ended its trip to Europe. Looking back on the past 4 warm-up games, the Chinese women's basketball team still did not play well under the situation that Han Xu and Huang Sijing both returned, the problems are still those problems, the problems are still those problems, the offensive end is too little, the projection is very unstable, there are too many mistakes, and the free throw shooting rate is low. And if these problems can't be solved through warm-up games, what awaits the Chinese women's basketball team will not be a good result.
Of course, Zheng Wei still has a life-saving straw, that is, Li Meng. Counting the 5 warm-up games played in China, the Chinese women's basketball team played a total of 9 warm-up games, with 2 wins and 7 losses, which is not a good record. And in these 9 games, Li Meng, as the core, did not play.
Everyone knows that Li Meng's manly style of play has made her a real thigh of the Chinese women's basketball team. Therefore, seeing the continuous defeat of the Chinese women's basketball team, coach Zheng Wei does not seem to be in a hurry, and many fans are not in a hurry, because Li Meng has not come back yet.
Because, in the minds of many people, as long as Li Meng comes back, the problem of the Chinese women's basketball team can be solved. The question is, as far as the current situation of the Chinese women's basketball team is concerned, is a Li Meng really the savior of the Chinese women's basketball team? I don't think it's very likely, Li Meng has been resting for so long, riddled with injuries, even if she comes back, her state, her mentality, will definitely not be the best, it will take time to run in, and she needs to find herself.
Of course, you can say that back then, in the 2022 World Cup, Li Meng returned to the team at the last moment to help the Chinese women's basketball team dominate. However, don't forget, at that time, Li Meng was competing in the WNBA, and it can be said that he was in good personal condition and belonged to the plug-and-play existence, which was completely different from the current situation.
Therefore, for Li Meng, I think I can look forward to less. Next, the Chinese women's basketball team will leave Europe and travel to Australia, where the Chinese women's basketball team will play two more warm-up games against the Australian women's basketball team on July 3 and 5. Will Li Meng make a comeback then? Will it be the savior of the Chinese women's basketball team? If you don't come back, I'm afraid the daylily will be cold.
The problem is that even if Li Meng comes back, the current state of the Chinese women's basketball team is really flattering, and if they want to make a difference on the stage of the Olympic Games, the difficulty value is still quite large, and I am personally very worried.
Perhaps, the real magic weapon in Zheng Wei's hands will most likely be Xiaobao Li Yueru, who is fighting in the WNBA, and when she comes back and forms a twin tower with Han Xu, maybe she can make a breakthrough.
