This time in the 2024 U18 Women's Basketball Asian Cup, our Chinese women's basketball team met the Australian women's basketball team in the final. As a result, our girls tried their best, but they still lost 79-96, allowing Australia to win the championship, and they also successfully defended the title, which is really amazing.
However, our Chinese women's basketball team is not ashamed, and has won the runner-up in two consecutive competitions, which is not a bad result! Although it is a pity that we failed to win the championship, it is also a good indication that our team is strong to stand on the podium twice in a row.
Let's talk about the Japanese women's basketball team, they also won the third place in two consecutive tournaments, and their performance is quite stable. The Korean women's basketball team finished fourth this time, although it was one step away from the podium, but it was also very hard.
What we see in this competition is not only the result, but also the process. Each team has its own highlights and shortcomings, although our Chinese women's basketball team did not win the championship, but also showed its strength and potential in the game. I hope the girls can learn more from this competition, continue to work hard, and strive to stand on the top podium next time!
The performance of the Chinese women's basketball team in the U18 Asian Cup this time can be said to be both surprising and regretful. Let's talk about the good news first, our girls have achieved their goal of entering the U19 World Youth Championships, which is a big deal! This shows that our team still has two hits, reached the semi-finals, and successfully got the qualification.
Looking at the final results, we won the second place, although we didn't win the championship, but the runner-up result was not bad. It's not easy to win the runner-up for two consecutive years, and I have to give the girls a thumbs up!
Speaking of this competition, the most eye-catching thing is our Zhang Ziyu, this little girl is a big man of 2.24 meters, and she is simply a giant on the field! Her performance is really good, averaging 35 points per game, which is simply amazing!
In the five games, Zhang Ziyu scored 19 points, 36 points, 34 points, 44 points and 42 points respectively, and each game was a highlight moment. She performed so well that she was finally named the MVP of the event without any suspense.
FIBA announced the data list of the event, and our Zhang Ziyu's scoring and rebounding data are ranked first, which is really deserved. Now, not only our domestic fans, but also international fans have seen her potential, which is really amazing!
Although we didn't win the championship this time, we saw hope and the future from the competition. Come on, girls, let's fight again next time!
In this U18 Asian Cup, although our Chinese women's basketball team performed well, it also exposed a lot of problems. First of all, in terms of defense, offense and organizational tandem, our shortcomings are quite obvious. Especially in the game with the Australian women's basketball team, the gap is clear at a glance.
Look at that game, the Australian girls were a lot better than us in terms of physical confrontation and technical level, and our girls were pressed enough on the court. Besides, the ability to adapt on the spot, we are also a little worse, and sometimes when the situation on the field changes, the girls are a little panicked, and the ball handling is not ideal.
We can't just look at the shortcomings, we have to look at the highlights. For example, our Wang Jiaxin, this girl is really desperate on the court, averaging 6.8 assists per game, ranking first on the assist list, and her organizational skills are really speechless. and Xu Fengwei, who averaged 5.6 assists per game, ranked second, and his performance was also very good.
Although there are many areas that need to be improved, we are not useless. The key is to sum up the experience, find the problem, and then make persistent efforts to make up for the shortcomings. I hope our girls can learn a lesson from this competition, improve themselves, and play again next time, we can play more beautifully! Come on, Chinese women's basketball team, let's be optimistic about you!
