On July 10, Beijing time, the official website of FIBA announced the final lineup of the Chinese women's team in the 3x3 basketball event of the Paris Olympics. The Olympic lineup of the Chinese three-person women's basketball team is: Wang Lili, Zhang Zhiting, Wan Jiyuan, Chen Mingling.
For the three-person women's basketball Olympic lineup, 32-year-old Wang Lili is likely to usher in the final Olympic journey, her teammates still have Zhang Zhiting, Wan Jiyuan, and the fourth person started with Yang Shuyu, after frequently tossing many people, and now comes to Chen Mingling.
Compared with the lineup of the 3-member women's basketball team from other countries participating in the Olympic Games, the Iron Triangle led by Wang Lili is undoubtedly the team with the best chance of winning medals among the Chinese basketball teams participating in the Olympic Games.
Many fans may be more optimistic about the Chinese women's basketball team of 5 people on the podium, but in the warm-up games in the past period of time, the women's basketball team lost to Australia, Serbia, Belgium and other teams by a large score, and the domestic warm-up games also lost to Japan 2, from the team's morale to the competitive state of the core players, it is difficult to compare with the World Cup runner-up. In particular, the women's basketball team has basically maintained a fixed core rotation framework in the past two years, and many European and American teams have repeatedly studied that Zheng Wei can create relatively limited variables, and if the goal is to win Olympic medals, the overall difficulty is relatively large.
The three-man men's basketball team failed to qualify for the group stage at the last Olympics, and it is also unrealistic to aim for an Olympic medal.
Why is the 3-person women's basketball team the most chance to win a card, first of all, the overall audience visibility and attention of the 3-person women's basketball team are not very high, many top athletes in Europe and the United States have not participated in the 3-person basketball project, not to mention the team that maintains a sufficient stability, Wang Lili, Wan Jiyuan, Zhang Zhiting The three have been playing together for a long time, and it can be said that they are "experienced" veterans on this stage, and they were once known as the medal harvesters of the 3-person women's basketball project.
The specific and convincing results are as follows:
Third place in 3x3 basketball at the Tokyo Olympics in July 2021;
2022 3-a-side Basketball Asian Cup Champion; Wang Lili was named the MVP of this Cup.
In the women's bronze medal game of the 2022 3x3 Basketball World Cup, the Chinese women's basketball team defeated the Lithuanian women's basketball team 21-11 and won the third place.
The 2023 FIBA 3x3 Women's Basketball Series, the champion of multiple sub-stations.
In October 2023, Wang Lili became the MVP of the year for the FIBA 3x3 Women's Basketball Series.
In the 2024 FIBA 3x3 Women's Series Wuhan Station, the Chinese 3x3 women's basketball team defeated the Thai 3x3 women's basketball team 22:7 to win the championship.
