Led by Han Xu, the three major players shined in the warm-up game: the Chinese women's basketball team was still glorious despite defeat
In a women's basketball warm-up game that ended in the early morning, the Chinese women's basketball team lost to Serbia 82-93. Despite the disappointing results, it has to be said that the performances of several players were eye-catching. Especially Han Xu, Sun Mengran and Huang Sijing, their wonderful performances gave fans a lot of comfort. Let's take a look at the highlights and shortcomings of this game!
Han Xu: The overlord of the inner line, it is worth looking forward to
Let's take a look at Han Xu first, the young interior player who once again showed her dominance in this game. In the whole game, Han Xu scored 24 points and 6 rebounds, which was enough to prove her huge influence on both offensive and defensive ends. Imagine a player with great height and feel constantly scoring under the basket, and the thrill is simply indescribable. Han Xu's performance is not only impressive, but also full of expectations for her performance in the Olympics.
Some people may ask, why is Han Xu's performance so good? In fact, Han Xu's strength on the court is undoubted, especially on the offensive end, she can rely on her height and feel to constantly score under the basket. And on the defensive end, her pressing power should not be underestimated. Although it was a warm-up match, Han Xu's playing time was limited to a certain extent, and she only played 27 minutes in the whole game, but this is enough to prove her dominance on the inside. It is foreseeable that when it comes to the Olympic Games, Han Xu will still be a sharp weapon for the Chinese women's basketball team.
Sun Mengran: Steady output, surprises
Let's turn our attention to Sun Mengran together. The player continues to surprise people in this year's warm-up games. When the Chinese women's basketball team was at a low point, Sun Mengran was always able to withstand the pressure and help the team stabilize the situation. Coming to this year's warm-up game, Sun Mengran was able to output stably in almost every game. In the game against Serbia, Sun Mengran scored 15 points in the whole game, and the shooting rate was quite high. Isn't this kind of performance worthy of being in the Olympic squad?
The final choice is in the hands of head coach Zheng Wei. With the return of the main players, Sun Mengran's playing time may be reduced, but her performance in the warm-up matches has undoubtedly earned her a place. Being able to perform so well in such a short period of time, Sun Mengran has proven his worth.
Huang Sijing: The state is picking up, and the defense is steady
Let's talk about Huang Sijing. The player's form has gradually picked up in recent warm-up matches. In the game against Serbia, Huang Sijing scored 5 points, 3 steals and 2 rebounds on 2-of-3 shooting, and played only 14 minutes. Although the stats are not impressive, she has been quite solid on the defensive end. Huang Sijing's ability to improve the team's forward pressure is obvious.
Huang Sijing's shooting percentage on the offensive end is also rising, which is improving her state in an all-round way. If she can continue to perform like this in the next warm-up matches, she will be at her best at the Olympics. Huang Sijing is still fighting with injuries, and her health is worrying when she wears protective gear. Hopefully she can stay fit because she is an integral part of the team.
Deficiencies and improvements: Three-point shooting, defense, and turnovers
Although the performance of several players is remarkable, as a whole, the Chinese women's basketball team exposed a lot of problems in this game. The first is the poor three-point shooting percentage, which directly affects the team's offensive efficiency. The second is poor defense, in the face of Serbia's strong offensive, the Chinese women's basketball team seems to be a little overwhelmed. Coupled with the frequent mistakes, these problems are affecting the dominance of the team.
Why does the Chinese women's basketball team have problems in these aspects? This has to do with the overall level of the team's run-in, the form of the players and the tactical arrangement. In the upcoming games, the coaching staff will need to adjust to these issues, improve the players' three-point shooting percentage, strengthen the defense, and reduce turnovers. Only in this way can the Chinese women's basketball team achieve better results in future competitions.
Future Prospects: Adjustments and Expectations
There is still a long way to go, and the Chinese women's basketball team needs to continue to adjust and improve in the next games. Improving three-point shooting is a priority. In modern basketball, the power of the three-point shot speaks for itself. Whether you can find a feel on the outside is directly related to the outcome of the game. The coaching staff should schedule more three-point shooting practice in practice to help players get back into shape.
Adjustments on the defensive end are also crucial. Facing an opponent with superior height and strength like Serbia, the Chinese women's basketball team needs to make changes in its defensive strategy. With more help and rotation, the opponent has fewer scoring opportunities. At the same time, it improves the ability to fight physically and reduces the number of points lost under the basket.
Controlling mistakes is also key. Mistakes not only waste offensive opportunities, but also give opponents the opportunity to counter-attack. The players need to stay focused during the game and reduce unnecessary mistakes. Through more practical exercises, improve the ability to control the ball under high pressure.
Conclusion: A bright future full of hope
Although this warm-up game ended in failure, the outstanding performance of several players made people see the hope of the Chinese women's basketball team. The dazzling performances of Han Xu, Sun Mengran and Huang Sijing proved the potential and strength of the team. As long as it continues to adjust and improve in the next games, the Chinese women's basketball team is fully capable of achieving good results in the Olympic Games.
We look forward to seeing more players step up and contribute to the team in the coming games. Just like Han Xu's dominance, Sun Mengran's steady output, and Huang Sijing's solid defense, every player can step up at critical moments and fight for the team's victory. Under the leadership of the coaching staff, through continuous adjustment and hard work, I believe that the Chinese women's basketball team will be able to shine in the international arena. Let's wait and see and look forward to the wonderful performance of the Chinese women's basketball team in the Olympic Games. Come on, Chinese women's basketball team!
