On July 3, Beijing time, the warm-up match between China and Australia women's basketball started, and at 17:30, the Chinese women's basketball team will face the Australian team in Melbourne, which is the fourth meeting between the two sides in 36 days.
In the four European warm-up matches that have just ended, the Chinese women's basketball team has only won one against Turkey, while other matches against European powerhouses such as Spain, Serbia and Belgium have ended in defeats, this series of defeats has made tonight's game full of uncertainties and challenges, especially in the absence of key players due to injuries or other reasons, the performance of the Chinese team is particularly interesting.
It is worth mentioning that Li Meng, the core player of the Chinese team, may return to participate in the competition this time, although she missed the previous warm-up game, but has been following the team and participating in training, the morale of the Chinese women's basketball team has been hit, and a victory is urgently needed to restore the fighting spirit, if Li Meng can come back in tonight's game, it will undoubtedly bring a huge combat effectiveness to the team.
Although the Australian team did not play with the main team, their squad is still strong, especially the women's basketball legend Lauren Jackson is still in the team, her experience and ability will play a key role against the Chinese team, the last time against the Chinese women's basketball team, she led the Australian team to victory with a high score, her performance will be the key to whether Australia can continue to maintain the advantage.
The game and the men's basketball warm-up game will not be broadcast on TV, but through the live broadcast of the short video platform can still watch this wonderful match, this new way of watching the game, although you can not feel the atmosphere of the game on the spot, but it can still shorten the distance between fans and the team, it is reported that today's women's basketball warm-up game Chairman Yao Ming may also watch the game on the spot, just experienced the defeat of the men's basketball team, I hope that today's women's basketball victory can be a little psychological comfort for Chairman Yao.
The Chinese women's basketball team's away challenge to Australia this time is undoubtedly an important test, in the face of successive challenges, the team needs to show stronger teamwork and tactical execution, in the team of new and old combinations, injured returns, and tactical adjustments and other changes.
Tonight's game is not an ordinary warm-up game, it is a major test of the strength and team cohesion of the Chinese women's basketball team, and it is also an important opportunity to restore the morale of the team.
