The goal of this summer is very clear, strive for 3 consecutive wins in the group stage of the Olympic Games, in the previous warm-up matches, the Chinese team has played against a number of opponents in the same group, which has played a training effect, as the world's second-ranked strong team, the Chinese team aims to stand on the Olympic podium, and after Li Yueru returns, it will form the strongest lineup, we might as well talk about it specifically.
At 17:30 on July 3, against the Australian team, for the Chinese team, the Australian team is an old rival, the two sides have recently played many warm-up matches, each other has won and lost, the last time the major game was the semi-finals of the last World Cup, the Chinese team narrowly defeated the opponent 61-59, and finally won the runner-up, tying the best record in history. In that game, Li Meng was absent due to injury, and with Wang Siyu's outstanding performance, he won the game without danger, and at the last moment, Wang Siyu staged a key steal, withstood the pressure and hit both free throws, becoming a classic battle for the Chinese women's basketball team.
At 17:30 on July 5th, against the Australian team again, the opponent is also preparing for the Olympic Games, it is also the first team, ranked third in the world, second only to the Chinese women's basketball team, very experienced, the main forwards Atwell, Marley are all playing in the high-level league, and the 43-year-old veteran Jackson is expected to participate in the Olympic Games for the fifth time. If the whole main force plays, the strength of the two teams is between the two teams, the opponent is relatively tall, and the average height is not inferior to the Chinese team, especially the back line, with players of more than 1.8 meters, the Chinese team needs to do a good job of defense and take the initiative to strengthen physical confrontation.
At 1:00 on July 22, against the French team, in the last Olympic qualifying round, the Chinese team lost to the French team 50-82, with a score difference of 32 points, in that matchup, Li Meng scored a team-high 21 points, Huang Sijing 9 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists, and Li Yueru 8 points and 8 rebounds. The opponent's physical fitness is extremely strong, and his height and arm span are superior, creating a lot of trouble for the Chinese team, especially the naturalized player Williams, who scored 17 points and has outstanding personal ability, Johannes also scored 17 points and hit 5 three-pointers, she is good at throwing ultra-long-distance three-point shots, Zheng Wei needs to send someone to guard her.
At 19:30 on July 28, against the Spanish team, in the warm-up game not long ago, the Chinese team lost to the Spanish team 46-70, only Han Xu and Yang Liwei performed well in the whole team, and the rebounding protection was unfavorable, allowing the opponent to grab a large number of frontcourt rebounds. After Li Meng and Li Yueru return, the problem will be improved, there are Han Xu and Li Yueru in the inner line, which is enough to deal with most opponents, Li Meng's personal ability is outstanding, and he can take over the game at a critical moment, this game is the first appearance of the Olympic Games, and he must be won, after all, a good start is half the success.
At 19:30 on July 31, against the Serbian team, the opponent is not lacking in experienced veterans, the last time the big game was the last Olympic Games, the Chinese team lost 70-77, stopped in the 1/4 finals, after years of growth, the Chinese team is not what it used to be, and has won the World Cup runner-up. However, the Serbian team should not be underestimated, European players have a long career, although they are older, they still remain competitive, in a game that is a winner, everything is possible, Zheng Wei needs to arrange more tactics for the inside, and give full play to the advantages of Han Xu and Li Yueru.
At 17:00 on August 3, against the Puerto Rico team, the two teams have played each other many times, in this year's Olympic qualifying round, the Chinese team defeated the opponent 105-69, Li Meng scored 23 points, Li Yueru 22 points and 23 rebounds, Han Xu 11 points and 8 rebounds, the inside dominated, controlled the rebounds, as long as it was steady and steady, it was easier to win. There is a large gap between the two teams, the Chinese team has an advantage in almost every position, the height suppresses the opponent's head, the opponent belongs to the shooting tactics, as long as the rebounding ball is protected, and the advantage under the basket is expected to achieve a big victory.
It is very close to the Olympic Games, the Chinese women's basketball team is a seeded team, the goal is an Olympic medal, there are 6 tough games to play this year, two games against the Australian team, Zheng Wei will continue to run in the lineup, the warm-up game against the French team, when the women's basketball team is likely to be fully assembled, this game is very important, it is the last warm-up game before the Olympic Games, which is of great significance. As for the three opponents in the group stage of the Olympic Games, the strength of the Puerto Rico team is average, and the Spanish team and the Serbian team are difficult bones to gnaw, and they need to make more contributions from the main forces such as Li Meng, Han Xu, and Li Yueru.
