In order to fully prepare for the Paris Olympics, the Chinese women's basketball team gathered early this summer and played a number of warm-up games, and currently has a record of 2 wins and 7 losses, including the latest wave of three consecutive defeats, the Chinese women's basketball team has lost to Spain, Belgium and Serbia and other teams in Europe, especially the opponents in the same group of the Olympic Games, which is definitely a very big blow to the self-confidence of the Chinese women's basketball team.
Judging from the schedule of the warm-up match of the Chinese women's basketball team, at 17:30 pm on July 3, Beijing time, at the Melbourne station in Australia, the Chinese women's basketball team will face the Australian women's basketball team.
The Chinese women's basketball team is ranked 2nd in the world, Australia is ranked 3rd in the world, the strength of the two teams should be comparable, at the beginning of June, Li Meng and Han Xu and other main forces were absent, the Chinese women's basketball team and Australia's warm-up game results are 1 win and 2 losses, the three players in the team who performed better were Sun Mengran, Wang Siyu and Yang Shuyu, other players played averagely, and many problems were exposed in the process of the game.
Do you remember? In the third warm-up game, Yang Shuyu made 6 of 6 three-pointers and scored 23 points to lead China to defeat Australia 75-68, which was impressive. Australia's 42-year-old veteran Lauren Jackson's wonderful performance is also very interesting, and this will be her fifth Olympic trip. In the last warm-up match, she also performed very well against the Chinese team and was an indispensable core of the team.
It is undeniable that in the last three warm-up matches with Australia, the Chinese team's lineup was not neat enough, and the two main players, Han Xu and Li Meng, were still in the stage of physical and injury recovery, and they did not play. Sun Mengran, Yang Shuyu and other players have more opportunities and time, they dare to fight in the game, showing their impact, which is undoubtedly a good signal for the Chinese women's basketball team to test the success of the training camp.
Given the proximity of the Paris Olympics, the quality of the match against a strong opponent like Australia will be high. This is indeed a rare opportunity for Li Meng, who is recovering from his body, in this game, Li Meng is also expected to usher in a return, and Han Xu, Wang Siyu and other main forces, so that the overall strength of the Chinese women's basketball team will also be greatly increased, not only in the interior or on the front line can have a certain advantage, the Chinese women's basketball team will also go all out, Coach Zheng Wei's confidence has greatly increased.
Should I say it or not, in the next warm-up match with Australia, presumably Australia will also send the main force to play, but with the return of Li Meng and other main players in the Chinese team, Coach Zheng Wei's tactical arrangements can also be more abundant. After all, Australia's overall strength is not weak, we must improve the shooting percentage, strengthen the defense of the opponent's arrowheads, and at the same time improve the free throw shooting rate and reduce turnovers, so that in the game against Australia, our chances of winning will be greater.
For the Chinese women's basketball team, this game is not only to send the main players to play, but also to coach Zheng Wei's arrangement and on-the-spot command ability should be adjusted, and there is no room for mistakes, and strive to get off to a good start. After all, the Paris Olympics are getting closer and closer, and there is not much time left for the Chinese women's basketball team to prepare, so we can't afford to lose anymore!
Come on, Chinese women's basketball team!
