1. Han Xu: The pillar of the inner line, the strength of the responsibility
Han Xu, the 24-year-old basketball goddess, is 205 cm tall, and her performance on the basketball court is simply amazing. Not only can she switch between the power forward and center positions freely, but she also bravely shoulders the burden of center when teammate Li Yueru is absent.
In the matchup with Serbia, Han Xu scored 24 points and 6 rebounds with an astonishing efficiency of 12 of 15 shots, and the shooting rate was as high as 80%. Although her performance was a little low-key in the first half, she quickly adjusted her form in the second half, showing her all-round ability on both offensive and defensive ends. In the face of the opponent's tight defense, she responded to the opponent with accurate mid-range shots with excellent game reading skills.
Looking back on these games, Han Xu's performance can be described as stable, whether it is 12 points and 8 rebounds against Turkey, 12 points and 6 rebounds against Spain, or 23 points and 8 rebounds against Belgium, she has shown her dominance on the inside. Her strength has put her opponents off and made her fans go crazy.
When Li Meng returns, we have reason to expect that the partnership between Han Xu and Li Meng will become a beautiful landscape for the Chinese women's basketball team. The connection between these two stars will undoubtedly bring more victories and hope to the team. Han Xu, the rising star who shines on the court, is undoubtedly one of the most commendable MVP candidates in this defeat.
2. Sun Mengran: The sword is not old, and the output is stable
Sun Mengran, a 32-year-old veteran of women's basketball, is 1.95 meters tall and gallops on the court as a center. Although the years have left marks on her face, they can't hide her still sharp basketball skills. She started the matchup against Serbia and scored 15 points in just 19 minutes with an efficient 6-of-9 shooting. Whether it's a tough offense under the basket, a precise shot from the free throw line, or a long-distance three-point rain, Sun Mengran has shown her all-round skills.
Since joining the Inner Mongolia women's basketball team last season, her performance has been remarkable. This return to the national team is not only Coach Zheng Wei's recognition of her ability, but also another proof of her own strength. In the last three warm-up games, Sun Mengran scored 9 points, 13 points and 15 points respectively, with an average score of nearly 13 points per game, which became the team's scoring guarantee.
She took the characteristics of the space four position to the extreme, even exceeding pre-match expectations. Sun Mengran used her rich experience and outstanding strength to bring a steady stream of motivation to the team. Even in a losing match, her performance was enough to give a thumbs up and make her a strong contender for the MVP of the losing side.
3. Wang Siyu: Playing with an injury, the commander of the backfield
Wang Siyu, the 28-year-old basketball heroine, is 1.75 meters tall and leads the offensive rhythm of the Chinese women's basketball team. In the contest against Serbia, she did not choose to shoot blindly, but with accurate shots, she hit 3 of 4 attempts, easily scored 7 points, and also grabbed 6 rebounds and handed out 4 assists, which can be described as a comprehensive performance.
Wang Siyu's breakthrough ability is particularly prominent, she is like an unstoppable force, hitting the opponent's defense again and again, showing extraordinary impact. Although the team has some passing errors and low three-point shooting rate in the guard position, Wang Siyu's continuous outstanding performance has undoubtedly made her the brightest star on the guard line.
What is even more admirable is that Wang Siyu is fighting the field with pain. Her indomitable spirit has not only earned her the respect of the fans, but also served as a role model for the younger players. When she was temporarily off, teammates Li Yuan and Jin Weina performed slightly less, which further highlighted Wang Siyu's indispensable role in the team.
Fourth, the dilemma and challenges of the Chinese women's basketball team
In the recent overseas warm-up games, the performance of the Chinese women's basketball team is indeed a little worrying. Although Han Xu's personal ability is outstanding, the overall teamwork and substitution depth need to be improved. The guard line is even more problematic, with passing errors, low three-point shooting percentage, and free throws that make people sweat. 24 turnovers, this number sounds distressing, the opponent seized the opportunity, we are naturally passive.
However, this is the point of the warm-up race, it is not the end, but the starting point. Through these competitions, we see the problem and the possibility of solving it. Coaches and players are actively looking for solutions to create problems for opponents with fewer mistakes and more efficient attacks at the upcoming Paris Olympics.
Let's not forget, losing in the warm-up game is not everything, it is just the way we need to succeed.
5. The support and expectation of fans
As fans, we can't blame and complain too much when the team is struggling, but give them more confidence and support. Every player is fighting for the honor of the country, and they are under a lot of pressure.
We must believe that under the careful guidance of the coach, the players will be able to overcome difficulties and improve their strength through hard training and continuous experience. The Chinese women's basketball team has a glorious history and excellent tradition, and they will definitely be able to shine in the Paris Olympics.
