The dust has settled on the Olympic list of the Chinese women's basketball team, but it has caused an uproar! Head coach Zheng Wei's words made the fans explode, as if a bombshell exploded in the basketball circle.
Everyone must have heard that Pan Zhenqi, a young player who once shined in the World Cup, was excluded from the Olympic 12-man list! As soon as the news came out, the fans were suddenly like ants on a hot pot, and they were in a hurry. Everyone speculated: Could it be that Pan Zhenqi offended anyone? Or was she caught secretly falling in love recently?
Don't worry, listen to Coach Zheng Wei. She said that this time the selection of candidates was painstaking, and each position had to be carefully selected, and it was important to bring the strongest squad to Paris. It sounds plausible, but fans aren't buying it. Someone muttered, "Isn't this nonsense? Can you still bring a crooked melon and cracked dates to the Olympics? ＂
Zheng Wei then explained, saying that it was because the guard line of the Chinese women's basketball team was too thin, and compared with the world's top teams, it was like bean sprouts meeting a towering tree. In order to make up for this shortcoming, she decided to bring a few more guards, such as Wu Tongtong and Yang Shuyu. This is good, and the fans are even more confused: "Isn't Pan Zhenqi a big forward?" Why does it have to do with defenders? ＂
What's even more surprising is that Zheng Wei actually mentioned Yang Liwei. She said that Yang Liwei and Wu Tongtong are more worthy of staying in the team. As soon as these words came out, the fans immediately blew up and said: "Yang Liwei is about to retire, how can he still compare with Pan Zhenqi?" Isn't this bullying a junior with a veteran? ＂
Speaking of which, I have to mention the recent record of the Chinese women's basketball team. In the warm-up games, 13 games were played, and only 2 were won and 11 were lost. If this grade is placed in school, I am afraid that I will not even be able to touch the passing line. The last 7 games have been wiped out, losing 7 games in a row, it is like playing a "friendly match", giving up the victory to the opponent.
In the latest game against France, the Chinese women's basketball team suffered another 76-93 defeat to Waterloo. Although Li Yueru worked hard and scored a double-double of 22 points and 12 rebounds, and Li Meng also contributed 13 points, the whole team actually sent 21 turnovers, which was like a big gift to the opponent.
In the face of such a record, Zheng Wei's explanation seemed a little weak. Fans questioned: "Is this kind of performance still the best player in every position?" Is there some misunderstanding of the word 'best'? ＂
However, having said that, we can't be too harsh on Zheng Wei. After all, the selection of the Olympic roster is not a playhouse, and there is a lot of thought behind every decision. Maybe Pan Zhenqi really has some unknown injury or form problems? Or is it something that the coaching staff has taken a fancy to other players? We don't know any of this.
However, I have to say that the selection of the list this time is indeed a bit regrettable. Pan Zhenqi is young and promising, and her performance in the World Cup is remarkable, and the inside combination she forms with Li Yueru and Han Xu is flexible and effective. In particular, her positive attitude on the defensive end is even more impressive. It's a shame to miss the Olympics like this.
However, now that the decision has been made, we can only expect the Chinese women's basketball team to perform well in the Paris Olympics. After all, no matter who is selected, they all represent the hope of the Chinese women's basketball team. We should give them more support and encouragement, instead of blindly questioning and criticizing.
At the end of the day, basketball is a team sport. The departure of one player may cause temporary distress, but it can also create more opportunities for other players. Maybe in Paris, we will see a new Chinese women's basketball team, and they will prove the right decision of the coaching staff with a wonderful performance.
Finally, let us also send our blessings to Pan Zhenqi and Jin Weina. Although they did not participate in this Olympic Games, I believe that with their strength, there will be more opportunities to show themselves in the international arena in the future. Perhaps next time, we will see a more mature and outstanding Pan Zhenqi return to the national team.
In general, this Olympic roster turmoil not only reflects the challenges faced by the Chinese women's basketball team, but also reflects the fans' love and expectations for the team. In any case, let's look forward to the wonderful performance of the Chinese women's basketball team in the Paris Olympics and cheer for them! After all, in the Olympic arena, every player represents our country and deserves our support and respect.
As fans, we certainly have the right to express our opinions and disappointments. But at the same time, we also need to understand that the coaching staff's decisions must be taken into account. Maybe in future games we will see the positive impact of this decision. Who knows? Perhaps it is precisely because of this adjustment that the Chinese women's basketball team can create a miracle in the Olympic Games?
Finally, let's set our sights on the upcoming Paris Olympics. Regardless of the list, the 12 girls will represent the Chinese women's basketball team. They will face strong enemies from all over the world and need our support and encouragement. Let's put aside the controversy, unite as one, and cheer for the Chinese women's basketball team! I believe that they will be able to shine in the Olympic arena and win glory for Chinese basketball!
