On August 5, 2024, Beijing time, the group stage of the women's basketball team of the Paris Olympics has come to an end, and it is regrettable that the Chinese women's basketball team missed the top 8 and was eliminated. The Chinese women's basketball team ranked second in the last World Cup and fifth in the last Tokyo Olympics, but now they have not even entered the knockout round, which is also embarrassing.
Just this morning, with the Australia women's basketball team's victory over the France women's basketball team, the Chinese women's basketball team's dream of promotion was completely shattered. The Chinese women's basketball team has 1 win and 2 losses in the group stage, and can only hand over the fate of promotion to teams from other countries, and compete for the last two qualifying places with the third place in the group, this condition is:
Australia loses to France: Chinese women's basketball advances;
Australia wins France, Nigeria loses to Canada: If Canada wins 26 points/wins 25 points and gets 109 points, it advances, otherwise the Chinese women's basketball team advances;
Australia wins France, Nigeria wins Canada: Group B third 2-1 to advance, Chinese women's basketball team failed to qualify.
Unfortunately, Nigeria and Australia both won the game, and the Chinese women's basketball team was eliminated directly. In terms of performance, the Canada women's basketball team was not without the strength of the Nigeria team, and three of the games were suppressed by Nigeria, including a tie in the first quarter, a four-point win in the second quarter and a five-point win in the final quarter. But it was Nigeria who gave Nigeria a 23-5 offensive climax in the third quarter, which was too ugly!
The Australia women's basketball team faced the France women's basketball team, which was considered to play their normal level, and the loss to Nigeria was an upset, and the top scorer of the France women's basketball team, Johannes, did not feel good, which also gave the Australia women's basketball team a chance.
The elimination is not accidental, this year's Chinese women's basketball team loses the game itself has more problems than the outside, if you can play a good performance, you don't need to put your fate in the hands of others in this way.
Looking back at the three games of the entire group stage of the Chinese women's basketball team, the first game was against the Spain women's basketball team, the Chinese women's basketball team performed very poorly in the final moments, a three-point foul on the outside, and a three-plus-one foul at the last moment, allowing Spain to drag the score to overtime and lose the game in overtime. With a 4-point lead of 30 seconds, shouldn't there be more tactical options, obviously using foul tactics to waste time and fight free throws, but it didn't.
When leading by 7 points, although Yao Ming shouted on the sidelines not to foul, no one paid attention to it and gave the opponent a three-point foul.
The problem of this game is not only this, the Chinese women's basketball team used the linkage between Li Yueru and the outside line in the first quarter of the game, and used the height advantage to play like a fish in water, and once led by 9 points. However, since the second quarter, this tactic has never appeared again, and I was still wondering at the time, why not use it with such a big advantage on the inside? It wasn't until the end of the game that I realized that it wasn't a deliberate loss.
In the second game against Serbia, the Chinese women's basketball team was even more funny on the court, and after the whole game, Li Yueru basically did not have many opportunities to touch the ball, and after several attacks in the first quarter, even the commentators at the time were wondering why not play Li Yueru.
Of course, the scene was passive, but in the second half, the Chinese women's basketball team showed a disastrous performance, scoring was not good, defense was not good, and only scored a total of 20 points in the second half, this is the level of the Chinese women's basketball team?
In the last game, the Chinese women's basketball team could have pulled the score bigger, but during the period, there were many low-level mistakes, a lot of indiscriminate handling of the ball, and a lot of defensive loopholes, allowing the opponent to narrow the score. Since then, some media reported that at the last moment of the Chinese women's basketball team, Zheng Wei replaced Li Yueru, and Li Yueru wanted to play in the last attack, but Zheng Wei refused. And now, the Chinese women's basketball team is only 1 point away from advancing to the top 8.
Obviously, the Chinese women's basketball team failed in this Paris Olympics, not only because of their achievements and performance, but because the cooperation and tacit understanding of the Chinese women's basketball team on the court in the past cannot be seen from the court. After the last Olympics and the World Cup, the Chinese women's basketball team not only did not improve, but also regressed, which is really unacceptable.
The Chinese women's basketball team actually has two major advantages, the inside line and three points, and the inside line Li Yueru and Han Xu, which have not been maximized in this Olympic Games. In the previous World Cup and Tokyo Olympics, Han Xu and Li Yueru were restrained on the inside, which also created more opportunities for the outside, and it is difficult to see this kind of internal and external linkage this season.
On the whole, the performance of the Chinese women's basketball team on the court in this Olympic Games can be described in one word, that is, "chaos", and the reason why they say chaos is because they have not formed a system. There is no system, and the performance on the field is to play wherever it goes.
In the past, Li Meng's point was also a strong point of the Chinese women's basketball team, and this Olympics did not see Li Meng go to singles in the low position, and Li Yueru blocked and dismantled a few times, but the effect was actually not good. Another big problem of the Chinese women's basketball team is that the ability to organize the guards is mediocre, and the basic blocking and dismantling tactics are there, but the moment the center goes down, the guards can't pass the ball out at all, and many ineffective blocking and dismantling are just a waste of time.
The offensive tactics are mediocre, and the Chinese women's basketball team can neither take advantage of the advantages of the two players on the court, nor do they have a lot of exquisite cooperation, and there are not many solutions to the big delay in the opponent's blocking and dismantling of the double.
The same is true on the defensive end, when the inside line is completely blown up, she still doesn't know how to use the twin tower lineup, Han Xu is capable of supplementing the outside players, and her movement speed can barely keep up with the opponent's pace.
There are a lot of problems like this, strong points can't be effective, and there is no teamwork, so how can the Chinese women's basketball team win? And who should bear the responsibility for such a performance of the Chinese women's basketball team and Chinese basketball? This question has been going on for many years and there is still no answer.
