1. The death of the home field, the lost heart
On that high-profile night, the Chinese suffered a painful defeat on their home turf.
The audience was originally full of anticipation and the desire for victory surged in their hearts, but the final result was like a basin of cold water, ruthlessly extinguishing the flame of enthusiasm in everyone's hearts.
That kind of loss and sadness permeated the entire arena, like a heavy haze, overwhelming people.
The victory of the Australian women's basketball team is undoubtedly a painful lesson for the Chinese team.
This is not a simple difference between victory and defeat, but a deep sting, which makes everyone who pays attention to the Chinese women's basketball team feel extremely distressed.
It's like a traveler groping his way through the darkness, who thought that there was an exit of light ahead, but he didn't expect to fall into deeper darkness again.
This defeat makes us ask: When will the Chinese team usher in its own light?
Second, Zhang Ziyu, the bright but tested star
Zhang Ziyu, a core player with high hopes, is like a bright star on the field.
The star, however, had a tough time in the game.
Her physical condition directly affected the direction of the game.
In the fierce confrontation, her physical fitness seems to have become a shackle that restricts her performance.
This is not only a personal challenge for her, but also a serious test of how the coaching team can use the abilities of special players wisely.
We can't help but wonder if it was the overuse that caused her exhaustion, or the tactical set-up that failed to make the most of her.
It's like a double-edged sword, which can bring a sharp attack, but it can also hurt yourself if you don't use it properly.
For example, in some previous competitions, there was a similar situation.
Some teams rely too much on their core players, resulting in physical exhaustion at critical moments and ultimately losing out on good games.
And in this game, can Zhang Ziyu's plight also allow us to learn from it?
3. Coaching team, tactical confusion
Coach Wang Guizhi, the coach who commanded Ruoding on the field, was widely questioned in his tactical choice this time.
Every decision in the game is like walking on a tightrope, and if you are not careful, you will fall into the abyss.
The failure to adjust tactics in a timely manner undoubtedly exposed the inadequacy of the coaching team in terms of on-the-spot command and tactical response.
Is it because you don't study your opponent well enough, or is it too hesitant to make decisions at critical moments?
Looking back at those classic games, the coach's wise decisions often turned the tide, but in this game, the coach's silence and hesitation made the Chinese team miss a good opportunity.
For example, there was once a fierce matchup, where the coach of a certain team decisively changed the formation at a critical moment, and finally led the team to turn defeat into victory.
And in our game, why didn't there be such a miracle?
Fourth, Wang Jiaxin, lost at a critical moment
Captain Wang Jiaxin, the singles selection at the critical moment, became a focus of the game.
She was originally the mainstay of the team, the Warriors who led the team to the charge.
In that decisive moment, her misjudgment put the team in trouble.
Singles, which would have been a brave choice, but making such a decision at the wrong time failed to bring points.
This exposed her lack of judgment on the situation of the game, and also showed us that the team's strength was not fully utilized at critical moments.
It's like in the rough sea, a lone boat is moving alone, forgetting that there is a whole fleet behind it to rely on.
We expect teams to work together, not individually.
Fifth, the opportunity is missed, and there is no way to regret it
The Chinese team had two great chances to close the score in the final quarter, which was the dawn of hope and a victory within reach.
These precious opportunities were squandered because of tactical choices and personal decision-making.
At that moment, time seemed to freeze, and every wrong decision was like a hammer, smashing into our hearts.
We are asking, why can't we seize these opportunities?
Is it an imbalance in mentality, or is it a lack of tactical execution?
There have been so many successful counterattacks in front of us, and other teams can rise in desperate situations, why can't we?
This is worth pondering for each and every one of us.
6. Is the coach's silence trust or negligence?
At the critical moment of the game, the silence of the coach was particularly prominent.
This silence is like a bottomless black hole, which makes people scratch their heads.
Is it absolute trust in the players and giving them the freedom to play?
Or was it an oversight in tactical guidance that caused the situation to spiral out of control?
It's an unsolvable puzzle.
But we can't ignore that every move of the coach on the field affects the fate of the entire team.
Imagine if the coach could change the course of the game if he could give clear instructions at a crucial moment?
Unfortunately, there are no ifs, only cruel realities.
7. Rise from failure and be reborn from the ashes
Failure is the mother of success, we are familiar with this sentence.
But how many can really learn from the failure and rise again?
This game was a heavy blow to the Chinese team, but it was also a valuable experience.
How to better protect and use special players, how to flexibly respond to changes in the game, and how to give full play to the strength of the team at key moments are all problems that we need to think deeply about and solve.
We must not be devastated by a failure, but must be reborn in the flames like a phoenix nirvana.
I believe that as long as we can sum up our experience and train hard, the Chinese team will be able to show stronger strength and firm will in the future.
The spirit of basketball is not only the glory of victory, but also the perseverance in the face of setbacks.
Let's look forward to the Chinese women's basketball team being able to rise from this defeat and embark on a glorious journey again!
8. Spiritual inheritance, an indelible torch
Basketball is not just a contest of scores, it is also a spiritual inheritance.
Behind this loss, we can't ignore the fire of basketball spirit that has always burned.
The girls of the Chinese women's basketball team, every hard work and every drop of sweat on the court is a vivid interpretation of the spirit of basketball.
Even if he fails, the momentum to move forward and never give up still shines.
Looking back on history, those great basketball legends have all written one glorious chapter after another with firm belief and tenacious spirit.
For example, Yao Ming, in the face of strong opponents in the international arena, has always maintained a high fighting spirit, setting an example for Chinese basketball.
Now, although the Chinese women's basketball team has temporarily fallen, as long as this spirit is inherited, it will definitely be able to rise again.
