In the recent warm-up match, the Chinese women's basketball team faced the Belgium women's basketball team, which was not only a test of the team's current situation, but also an important part of the preparation for the Paris Olympics. However, in the face of this European powerhouse, the Chinese team had a lot of problems and finally lost with a score of 57-79.
At the beginning of the game, the Belgium women's basketball team showed a strong state, both offensive and defensive, and the Chinese women's basketball team was a little caught off guard. Belgium's attack was smooth and the defense was pressing, while China made frequent mistakes and failed to find rhythm at both ends of the pitch. By the end of the first quarter, the Chinese team had trailed by 12 points at 11-23.
The second quarter of the game was still not optimistic. Although Han Xu and Li Yueru fought the inside, trying to drive the offensive rhythm of the Chinese team through strong attacks, the defense of the Belgium women's basketball team is still solid, and the blockade of the inside line is very in place. Although Han Xu scored under the basket several times, the defense of the Belgium team was obviously prepared and did not give the Chinese team too many chances. Li Yueru used her physical advantage to play some beautiful offenses under the basket, however, these offenses were only a negligible increase in points and failed to change the overall backwardness of the team.
The Chinese team's back line has not performed well, and Li Meng's form is particularly bad. In the face of the tight defense of the Belgium women's basketball team, she had little room to play. Whenever she held the ball, the Belgium team immediately wrapped it, Li Meng had a hard time finding teammates, and passing the ball became extremely difficult. She tried to break through on her own, but was always intercepted by opponents or forced to make inefficient shots, and as a result, she shot so low that she could barely score. Netizens took to social media to express their disappointment with her performance after the match. Someone commented: "Li Meng's state is really speechless, did the previous injury have too much impact?" The other party can't help her when she clamps it, and it feels like she's an ornament now. Some netizens also sighed: "Our guard line really needs to be upgraded, the offense can't be played in this state, and no one can prevent the opponent's breakthrough in defense." ”
Entering the second half, the Belgium women's basketball team continued to maintain an efficient offense, gradually extending the lead with aggressive breaks and quick transitions. The Chinese team's attack was difficult to break through Belgium's defense, and the defense was also full of holes. At the end of the third quarter, the Chinese team had trailed by 20 points, and the score was fixed at 41-61.
By the fourth quarter, the tension on the court had grown. The Chinese women's basketball team tried their best to close the score gap, but the difficulties they faced far exceeded expectations. At the start of the game, although the team's coach did his best to adjust his tactics, the players did not seem to be able to fully find their rhythm. On the field, the faces of the players were full of anxiety and uneasiness, and they worked hard but the results were never good.
The Chinese women's basketball team obviously stepped up its offensive in this quarter of the game, trying to change the situation by attacking faster and defending more closely. Li Yueru and Han Xu continued to work on the inside, and although they struggled to grab rebounds and try to create a second offensive opportunity, the defense of the Belgium women's basketball team remained as solid as an iron wall. Every time the Chinese team tried to break through the inside line, they were suppressed by the opponent's tough defense, and there were almost no easy scoring opportunities. Although Li Yueru has succeeded in several attacks, it has always been difficult to drive the overall performance of the whole team.
The crowd on the pitch also felt the tension of the game. Several times the wonderful cooperation of the Chinese team attracted cheers from the audience, and everyone wanted to see the team successfully counterattack. However, the successive mistakes are frustrating. The players' passing was not precise enough, and the attacking rhythm was repeatedly disrupted. The anxious shouts and cheers from the fans on the sidelines came and went, but they didn't seem to be able to help the players substantially.
In terms of individual performance, Li Yueru was the highlight of the Chinese team, shooting 6-of-9 from the field and 1-of-2 from three-point range, scoring a team-high 19 points and nine rebounds. In comparison, Han Xu's performance was slightly inferior, although the shooting percentage was good, but his confrontation and technical performance were not satisfactory. Li Meng's state is worrying, shooting 2-of-11 from the field and 0-of-7 from three-point range, his offensive performance is sluggish, and he has not been able to contribute on the defensive end. Wang Siyu and Yang Liwei's starting guard positions also did not play their due role, which directly affected the team's offensive fluency. Huang Sijing showed some hesitation during the match, which may have been related to injury. Li Yuan's organizational ability also appeared to be insufficient, and he failed to effectively lead the team's attack.
Recently, there has been a lot of discussion about the Chinese women's basketball team, especially about their performance in the game, and there are quite a lot of comments on the Internet. Some netizens mentioned: "To be honest, our women's basketball team has basically lost to Japan in the Asian arena in the past ten years. I was able to win a runner-up in the last World Cup, and I really played well to have such a high result. In terms of overall strength, it is good to be in the top eight. ”
Another netizen said: "I think the current situation is indeed a bit bad, but it doesn't mean that the level of the women's basketball team is poor. Today's poor performance is mainly due to Li Yueru's recent return and is still looking for form. Li Meng has also just been injured for a few months, and his comeback state is definitely not as good as before, after all, it will take time to adapt. ”
Some netizens mentioned in the discussion: "This competition really disappointed me a little, but it is understandable. Li Yueru has just returned to the team, how can she return to her peak state all of a sudden? She has just come back, and it will take time for the team to work together. And Li Meng's injury recovery is slow, and his state will definitely be affected. ”
Another person commented: "In recent years, the Chinese women's basketball team has been improving, but it is really difficult to face an opponent like the Japan team." Li Yueru and Li Meng are both key players, and their current poor form is understandable. After all, injuries and recovery time have a great impact on athletes, and the fact that they played well in the previous games shows that their strength is still there, but this time the situation is a little special. ”
A netizen said more bluntly: "If you want to talk about the overall strength, it is true that our women's basketball team has a place in the top few in Asia." But it's a bit disappointing to be in a state like today. However, this is not the first time this has happened. The players of the women's basketball team still need time to adjust, especially Li Yueru and Li Meng, their return is important for the team, but it will be difficult to recover to the best form in a short period of time. ”
Judging from this game, the Chinese women's basketball team's problems on the guard line are particularly prominent. Against the strong teams in Europe and the United States, the gap between the teams is emerging, and the prospects for the Paris Olympics are also clouded. The team will need to address these issues in the next training sessions and games in order to make a breakthrough in future tournaments.
