The pace of the Paris Olympics is getting closer and closer, and the warm-up matches of the Chinese women's basketball team are also advancing. However, the performance during this period is a bit worrying. The team has suffered repeated defeats against Olympic opponents, and the results are really not satisfactory. The Chinese women's basketball team, which had just welcomed back core players Li Meng and Li Yueru, thought that it could regain confidence through this contest with Belgium, but it still failed to do so.
In this game, the Chinese team started a little slowly. Belgium's Meesmann started the game with an eye-catching start, followed by a brilliant performance from Linskens. On the Chinese team's side, although Yang Liwei scored a three-pointer, his overall state failed to keep up with the rhythm of the opponent. Belgium's De Laere and Mulenga also extended their lead, and China trailed 11-23 at the end of the first quarter.
At the beginning of the second quarter, Belgium's Mbaka and Meesmann continued to show strong offensive firepower. Mbaka broke through like a beast, scoring easily on several occasions, while Mesman was like an inexplicable three-point machine gun, shooting with an astonishingly high shooting accuracy. For the Chinese team, Li Yueru and Han Xu are also trying their best to change the trend of the game, but the performance on the offensive end is still not stable enough. Although Li Yueru's attack in the low post has been successful several times, she also seems a little weak in the face of the high-intensity defense of the Belgium team. Han Xu tried to turn the situation around with three points from the outside, but unfortunately the shooting percentage was not high.
Defensively, the problems of the Chinese team are also obvious. Belgium's Meesmann scored easily inside, while Alemander's corner three-pointers were frequent, and almost no one could effectively stop their attack. The rhythm of the game made the Chinese team feel very difficult, and every time the opponent attacked, the Chinese team's defense always couldn't keep up, and loopholes appeared frequently.
Many netizens were disappointed with the performance of this game. On a forum, a netizen wrote: "Li Yueru and Han Xu's efforts are visible, but unfortunately the overall cooperation of the team is really not good." There are always problems in defense, and every time the opponent attacks, he can easily score. Another netizen commented: "This game is really exciting to watch. Belgium defended so strongly, why can't we open the situation? At halftime, the Chinese team fell behind 29-42, and seeing that the gap was getting wider and wider, everyone was anxiously waiting for the team to find a solution.
In the third quarter, Belgium was still strong. Linskens and Mesman are like two offensive stars, beating the Chinese team's defense to the ground. Linskens was comfortable on the breakaway, scoring with precision every dribbling breakaway, while Mesman continued to use his outside shooting firepower to suppress the Chinese team. Li Meng and Huang Sijing of the Chinese team looked particularly struggling at this time. Li Meng tried to score through the breakaway, but the opponent's defense made it difficult for her to find gaps, and she always felt lacking in strength when shooting. Huang Sijing also failed to find her senses, and missed several open shots, and the sluggishness on the offensive end also affected her confidence.
Defensively, the problems of the Chinese team are more prominent. Belgium's rapid attack made the Chinese team's defense always unable to catch up, and several defensive rotations were so slow that people were anxious. When Linskens breaks through, the defenders are always unable to fill in in time; Mesman's three-pointer was barely effectively interfered with. Watching the Belgium team score easily again and again, the coach's face became more and more solemn.
The mood of the fans also seemed anxious in this quarter of the game. The audience began to discuss in low voices, and many people seemed dissatisfied and criticized the team's performance. "It's just a decoration, and it can't stop them from attacking." Some viewers shook their heads helplessly, and the disappointment on their faces was clearly written. Another fan sighed: "Li Meng and Huang Sijing's state is too bad, I hope the coach can find a way to adjust, otherwise this game is really hopeless." "As the forward of the Chinese women's basketball team, Li Meng's physical fitness is really amazing. The combination of height and strength allows her to perform very well on both ends of the floor under the basket. She is also very capable of penetrating, and her flexible pace and explosiveness make it difficult for opponents to stop her every time she faces defense. Especially in the fast break, she can always quickly get into the box and use her speed and skill to create scoring opportunities.
Netizens also have a high evaluation of Li Meng. Someone commented on the basketball forum: "Li Meng's breakthrough is really fantastic, the combination of power and speed is very good. Her performance under the basket makes people feel safe. Another netizen also said: "Her medium and long-range shooting ability should not be underestimated." It's not particularly consistent, but those long shots at key moments can really change the pace of the game. ”
In addition, some netizens also put forward different opinions. "Li Meng's physical fitness is indeed very strong, but her mid-to-long-range shooting in the game needs to be improved. Sometimes her shooting is affected by defense, and her shooting percentage is not very consistent. "Some viewers posted on social media." She stands out when she breaks through, but sometimes she misses when she's up against high-intensity defenses. ”
Li Meng's strengths and weaknesses are obvious in the game. She is able to make the most of her physical strengths against defenders, completing strong attacks and breakthroughs. However, when opponents defend her more tightly, her mid-to-long-range shooting consistency and ability to handle the ball become even more important. Because of this, fans expect more from her to do so, and they hope that she can continue to improve in these areas.
By the end of the third quarter, China was already 41-61 behind, and Belgium's advantage was becoming more and more obvious. Everyone is waiting to see if the Chinese team can find a chance to turn the game around in the final quarter, although this hope is becoming more and more slim.
In the final quarter, although the Chinese team tried their best to try to narrow the point gap, the Belgium team's Meesmann and Linskens still did not leave a chance for the Chinese team. Although Li Yueru of the Chinese team worked hard to chase the points and performed well, the cooperation of her teammates seemed to be inadequate. In the end, the Chinese team lost to Belgium 57-79.
Although Li Yueru performed brilliantly, scoring 19 points and 12 rebounds, the overall performance of the whole team did not meet expectations. Li Meng's state was even more disappointing, with only 2 goals on 12 shots in the game, and his help to the team was extremely limited.
Judging from this game, the Chinese women's basketball team has exposed a lot of problems in the face of strong teams. Poor defense and offensive mistakes have always left the team at a disadvantage at critical moments. Belgium showed strong offensive and defensive capabilities in this game, and if the Chinese team wants to break through in the next game, it needs to seriously summarize and quickly adjust its state.
