On July 23, 2024, the Chinese women's basketball team finally announced the final list of 12 players who will go to the Paris Olympics. Surprisingly, Pan Zhenqi and Jin Weina, who have performed well in several international competitions, were not selected.
Jin Weina is considered a veteran of the women's basketball world, and her steady style of play and all-round skills make her stand out on the court. As a defender, she is not only able to score consistently on the offensive end, but also plays an important role when defending. She is very versatile, breaking through opposition defenses and shooting with precision, while maintaining effective pressure on opposing players when defending. Her presence is undoubtedly a pillar of the team.
Kim has a detail-oriented style of play and is extremely focused every time she is on the court. She always finds the most comfortable position for her teammates to receive the ball when passing, and is able to use her individual skills to break through the opposition's defence and defend, and when defending, she uses quick pace and accurate judgment to save the opponent's attack. In past games, she has often stepped up in crucial moments and been a key factor in the team's victory.
Recently, some netizens showed some disappointment when discussing Jin Weina's failure to be selected for the Paris Olympics. A fan wrote on social platforms: "Jin Weina has always been the iron pillar of our women's basketball team, whether it is offensive or defensive, she has done a very good job. It's a pity to see that she didn't make the cut this time. Another fan also said: "Her defensive ability has always been a big strength for our team, and I feel like this choice is a bit confusing. ”
Others put forward a different view. One netizen commented: "Jin Weina's performance is indeed very stable, but age and tactical adjustment are also real problems. Probably the coaching staff made a difficult decision considering where they were going in the future. Another said: "Although Kim Weina's skills are comprehensive, in the team adjustment, maybe the coaching staff wants to try the possibility of more young players." Hopefully she will continue to perform well in the future. ”
Pan Zhenqi, the 1.92-meter-tall power forward, was once the absolute core of the Chinese women's basketball team. She has excelled in several international competitions in the past, from the Tokyo Olympics to the 2022 World Cup in Australia, to the 2023 Asian Cup and Asian Games, she has participated as a main force and is almost an integral part of the team. Her tough work and steady performance on the court have won a lot of honors and applause for the Chinese women's basketball team.
Recently, Pan Zhenqi's performance in the WCBA women's basketball finals was very eye-catching. In that game, she led the Inner Mongolia women's basketball team against the Sichuan women's basketball team, showing her extraordinary skills and control of the game. Her brilliant performances have made many fans and experts look forward to her future. However, injuries became her worst enemy. During the national team training camp, Pan Zhenqi had to adjust his training plan due to injury, and his state was also affected. Especially during her training trips to Australia and Europe, her injury did not fully recover, resulting in her not performing as expected in some key warm-up matches.
This disappointed a lot of fans. One fan commented on social media: "Seeing Pan Zhenqi's form in the final, I really think she will be a strong force at the Olympics, but I didn't expect her to be selected due to injury, it's really a shame." Another fan said: "Pan Zhenqi's injury has affected her performance, which is really frustrating. Her strength is in everyone's eyes, and it's really a pity not to have her. ”
Kim is an all-round defender with strong skills and fighting spirit. In the past 2022 World Cup, 2023 Asian Cup and Asian Games, she was the main force of the team. Despite her positive performance during the national team training camp in May this year, the coaching staff ultimately decided not to include her in the list due to age and tactical reasons.
The change in the roster this time is not much different from the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. The main adjustment is that Yang Shuyu replaces the retired Shao Ting, while Luo Xinqi replaces Pan Zhenqi. The current roster configuration includes three centre-forwards, four forwards and five defenders, which will have a significant impact on the team's overall performance.
Recently, the warm-up results of the Chinese women's basketball team have been a bit worrying. Of the 13 warm-up games, they won only two, losing the others. This is a disappointing result, especially when everyone is expecting them to regain their form ahead of the tournament.
In these games, the team's performance has not been as expected. The players did not cooperate well enough on the field, and the defense seemed a little loose. The coaching staff tweaked their tactics and adjusted their line-up to try to find the best solution. However, seeing the results of the warm-up matches, many fans and experts couldn't help but feel a little anxious. One fan commented on social media: "The defeat in this game is really upsetting, it feels like we haven't adjusted to our best. I don't know if it will be worse at the Olympics. Another said: "Although the warm-up game was not good, I still hope that the team can play with real strength at key moments." ”
Although the results of the warm-up games were not satisfactory, looking back on the past performance, the Chinese women's basketball team has always been able to rise to the challenge in the competition. The Tokyo Olympics, the 2022 World Cup in Australia, the 2023 Asian Cup and the Asian Games, the team has always played well in these major competitions, especially against strong teams, they have always shown strong fighting power in key moments. Many people believe that stability and adaptability in this kind of competition are important factors for them to stand out in a major competition such as the Olympic Games.
The hallmark of this team is that they can reach their potential under pressure. In the face of strong opponents, the players of the team always adjust their mentality and overcome difficulties. Despite the ups and downs in the warm-up games, there was hope that the women's basketball team would have the ability to find their rhythm in the real game. Many believe that as long as the team adjusts as they prepare for the game, their performance at the Olympics could be impressive.
Of course, regardless of the results of the warm-up matches, the real challenge lies ahead. What fans want to see is that at a major tournament like the Olympics, teams can play at their true level. Regardless of the performance of the previous warm-up matches, whether they can counterattack at critical moments is the key to determining victory or defeat. Everyone is looking forward to that moment and hopes to see the Chinese women's basketball team show their best form in the most important game.
Looking ahead to the upcoming Paris Olympics, many players in the Chinese women's basketball team may face their final Olympics. They will do their best to fight for good results. Despite the poor results in the warm-up matches, everyone's expectations for the Chinese women's basketball team are still high. Hopefully, this team can show their best form at the Olympics and surprise the fans.
