The women's basketball team lost to France 76-93, and there were three bad news after the game, which still need to be adjusted!
Speaking of the Chinese women's basketball team's performance in the final quarter against France, a good game played to the end, like changing teams, from solid defense to open the door, so that France team can score as easily as a family. To be analyzed, it's not just a matter of technology. I think back then, at the critical moment of the game, I shot when I should have made a shot, but now it's good, the key moment is soft, and the stability is so poor that people wonder if this is the Asian champion team. The collapse of the last quarter is not a loss in technology, it is simply a loss in mentality!
The next thing to talk about is the question of mistakes. The Chinese women's basketball team made a total of 21 mistakes, what a generous mentality this has to be to do! And these mistakes are not wasted, France scored 33 points from them, which is simply to teach us what "efficiency" is. The ability of the back line and the forward line to handle the ball is as poor as a schoolboy, and the opponent's defense is a little more pressed, and our players are in a hurry, giving the ball away, if this style of play is not adjusted, the Olympics is not as simple as eating dirt.
The performance of the bench in this game can be described as "substitute? non-existent". The total number of points in the whole game is only 22, what kind of courage can be called the bench of the national team! Except for Han Xu, who scored 9 points, the others didn't add up much, which really made people feel congested. The lack of depth of substitution is obvious, but the solution seems to be in the fog.
Problems with the inside line. With high-quality interior players like Han Xu and Li Yueru, it should have been the ballast stone of the team. But the reality is that we were still 14 points ahead of France in the inside score. Although the performance of the two is remarkable, the outside defense is full of holes, allowing the opponent to constantly break through and score, isn't this making good rice into rotten rice? Although the inside players are good, they can't withstand this wave of outside losses.
The defense of the back line and the forward line, the whole game was a painful experience, especially against France, they were like hanging up, constantly looking for holes in our defence. France didn't hit a few three-pointers, but they were able to break through in a row, which makes one wonder, where did our defense go? Didn't you say a good iron bucket array? Obviously, our back line and forward line defended to make France's breakthrough feel like no one.
Regarding the scoring opportunities of the France team, we can say that they are "generous" and generously send points to their own homes. 21 turnovers converted into 33 points, which is a sad statistic. Every time the ball was lost, France rushed to the basket. Our players are chasing around the court, more like playing chaser than basketball.
The attitude and bloody problems of the whole team are really the recurrence of the "old problem". When I was playing, I saw the players with expressionless faces, as if they were going to work to clock in, not to fight. A competition at this level of the Olympics requires the spirit of "working hard", rather than the attitude of "going through the motions". If you want to make a difference at the Olympics, this bloodless performance has to change. Otherwise, then it's another "good show", and we can only sit in front of the TV and watch our opponents play basketball on our heads.
Let's talk about Zheng Wei's adjustment. The first half was good, we saw hope, but the second half was a world of difference. If the first half was "bling", then the second half was "mud and sand". The adjustment effect is obviously insufficient, and what is needed at this time is to dare to adjust in real time during the game, rather than sticking to the original tactics. The flexibility and quick adaptability of strategies are essential qualities for high-level coaches, and it seems that Zheng Wei still needs to hone more in this regard. Only in this way can we grasp every favorable moment in the game and turn things around.
The offensive end is inefficient, this is really a cliché problem, the first half was still a little beautiful, everyone secretly blossomed in their hearts, but the second half was directly stalled, and the offense was like a wet firecracker, no sound and no power. The team really needs to review this. The offensive end is unstable, and the team's scoring ability and mental adjustment ability have to be put on the agenda. Coach Zheng Wei is not without adjustments, but as the old saying goes, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, the players can't play, and no matter how tactically the coach arranges, it is in vain.
When it comes to the depth of the team, it is simply a pain point that people want. Everyone knows that the playing style of one tendon will not work, and there is no reason to rely only on the starters to support the whole game. In this game, the play of the bench was like a bad movie in the Spring Festival, star-studded but empty. The contribution of 22 points is not as lively as the morning market in a small town. The problem lies in the depth of the bench, which directly affects the team's consistency and adaptability during long periods of play. Don't underestimate every bench player, the depth of the bench is not enough, the game is like stir-frying without sufficient seasoning, and the taste of the dish is naturally single.
The opponent breaks through the inside line frequently, and the France team seems to have seen through the strategy of the palm, knowing that there are tigers in the mountains and biasing towards the tigers. In the absence of three-pointers, they were able to break through to score inside in a row, if this situation is not full of holes in the defense, what else can it be? Although we have Han Xu and Li Yueru in the inner line to protect the frame, the loopholes in this defense line are leaking badly. The opponent's strategy is obvious, it is directly to hit our shortcomings, our defenders, should we learn how to be "iron wall"?
The post-Games situation is not only a need to adjust before the Olympics, but also a moment of alarm bells. Like this kind of "know yourself and know your opponent, you will not be defeated in a hundred battles", the team has to go back and review it. From mistakes to the lack of strength on the bench to the breakthrough of the defense on the inside, every point should not be solved on a temporary basis. What is needed is a systematic review and targeted training, after all, insufficient preparation is equivalent to failure to prepare, and this kind of thing is not a joke in a big competition like the Olympics.
