The Chinese women's basketball team ushered in the fourth European training game, losing 82-93 to the European powerhouse Serbian women's basketball team. Li Meng is still out of action due to injury, and Li Yueru has not yet returned to the team, and his combat effectiveness is indeed inferior to that of his opponent. However, the Chinese women's basketball team also has a better side. Han Xu maintained a stable state, scoring 24 points and 6 rebounds in this battle, scoring 20+ points in a row.
Power forward Sun Mengran also had an excellent performance, scoring 15 points and 1 rebound. Wang Siyu had 7 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists. Yang Shuyu got 8 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist, and Huang Sijing got 5 points, 2 rebounds and 3 steals, and their form has rebounded. In addition, the Chinese women's basketball team made 21 of 26 free throws in this game, and finally improved, and it is no longer on par with the Chinese men's basketball team in free throws.
Han Xu scored 23 points and 8 rebounds in the last game against Belgium, the highest since participating in the warm-up game this year, and she scored 24 points in this game to set a new high. Han Xu's offensive efficiency was very high, shooting 12 of 15.
During this time, the Chinese women's basketball team mainly played Han Xu and Sun Mengran, both of whom were very deterrent on the offensive end. Sun Mengran shot 6-of-9 and made 1-of-2 three-pointers. Sun Mengran scored 13 points and 5 rebounds in the last game. It can be said that the 31-year-old veteran is one of the most consistent players in the Chinese women's basketball team in this year's warm-up game. Her chances of securing a place at the Paris Olympics have increased dramatically.
Huang Sijing, the main power forward of the Chinese women's basketball team, has rebounded. She only played 14 minutes in this game, shooting 2-of-3 and 1-of-2 three-pointers, ranking second on the team with a plus/minus of +7. Huang Sijing is both offensive and defensive, and the Chinese women's basketball team needs her to return to her best condition so that she can have a chance to go further in the Olympics.
Sun Mengran is good at offense and relatively poor in defense, so Han Xu's best partner should be Huang Sijing. Now that Huang Sijing has made a comeback, she is gradually improving her state.
Yang Shuyu has a plus/minus of +17 in this battle, and is the player with the highest plus/minus in the team. Yang Shuyu made a great contribution to the Chinese women's basketball team's counterattack in the second quarter. In this game, she shot 2-of-5 and 4-of-4 free throws, scoring 8 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal. Her best position in the Chinese women's basketball team is to impact the opponent as a substitute and play the role of a surprise soldier.
Li Meng is still recuperating and can only catch up with the warm-up match in Australia. Because Li Meng and Li Yueru could not participate, the combat effectiveness of the Chinese women's basketball team has dropped by one level. In this game with Serbia, it was obvious that the Chinese women's basketball team lacked a stable outside ball-holding attack point. Li Meng's importance in the team has been reflected, after all, she is the MVP of the new WCBA finals.
