According to the competition system, the 12 teams are divided into two groups, the top four teams of each group advance and then the round of 16. The Chinese women’s basketball team is in the same group as Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Puerto Rico, South Korea and the United States. Will the Chinese girls be able to surpass sixth place in the previous two World Championships and compete in this competition? -finals or even getting on the podium at the end? This is arguably the biggest “watch” that Chinese fans pay attention to.
Runner up? Number seven?
How old is the Chinese women’s basketball team?
Historically, the Chinese women’s basketball team participated for the first time since 1983 in the Women’s Basketball World Championship (the predecessor of the Women’s Basketball World Cup). During the nine trips to the World Championships, the girls of the Chinese women’s basketball team resisted twice on the podium: 1983 In 1994, the Chinese women’s basketball team won second place at the World Cup, which is also the best result so far. from the Chinese women’s basketball team to the World Championships. In addition, in 2002 and 2014, the Chinese women’s basketball team won sixth place at the World Cup, ranking 12th in 2006 and only 13th in 2010. In 2018, the Women’s Basketball World Championship was officially renamed the Cup of the women’s basketball world. The Chinese women’s basketball team failed to reach the semifinals and ultimately lost to the French team in qualifiers, finishing sixth.
At last year’s Tokyo Olympics, the Chinese women’s basketball team took fifth place under the unconsciousness of coach Xu Limin. of several base players were still won by the outside world And the fans are sure of it. Earlier this year, the Chinese Basketball Association officially announced that Xu Limin would no longer serve as the head coach of the Chinese women’s basketball team for physical reasons. Women’s coach Zheng Wei, who had previously served as an assistant national team coach for a long time, led the team to the World Cup qualifier match in February this year as head coach. The basketball girl won tickets to the World Cup with a record of three wins and at the same time delivered a beautiful response sheet to fans across the country.
In mid-August of this year, FIBA released the strength list of the 12 teams participating in the 2022 World Cup. In that list, the Chinese women’s basketball team ranked second only to the women’s basketball team. American, the team lagged behind. Then, in mid-September of this year, FIBA updated the full strength ranking of the women’s national basketball team.This time the top ten teams in the world are: United States, Spain, Australia, Canada, Belgium, France, China, Japan, Turkey, Serbia, the Chinese women’s basketball team only ranked seventh.
In fact, in the two rankings both FIBA, the reason why the ranking of the Chinese women’s basketball team has changed is mainly because the scoring rules for the ranking statistics are different, but if it is “second place in the top 12 of the World Cup “”, or “the overall ranking of the national team ranks seventh in the world and first in Asia”, all show that now this Chinese women’s basketball team has the strength and level to return to the best teams in the world .
The knockout stage is a tough battle
Chinese women’s basketball still needs the word “spell”
In May of this year, 59-year-old Zheng Wei officially took over as the new head coach of the Chinese women’s basketball team.This basketball player, who has been assistant coach of the women’s basketball team of the national basketball team since 2009, she finally made her place in the foreground and became a Chinese basketball player, the rare head coach of women’s basketball.
Zheng Wei
To prepare for the Women’s Basketball World Cup, the Chinese women’s basketball team conducted retreats and long-term training matches this summer.The team began focusing on May 20. The first two months were mainly devoted to recovery training and personal skills. In early August, the entire team went to Europe to train and played warm-up matches with France, Belgium, Spain, Serbia and other powers. Zheng Wei said frankly: “During the training period, the team exhibited problems such as breaking pressure, many mistakes and poor comparison. We worked hard to fix them. After all, the World Cup comes every four years and every team will appreciate this. opportunity to compete “.
This time, Zheng Wei led the team in Sydney and Zheng Wei assembled the strongest lineup available: Li Yueru and Han Xu, the “twin towers” who fought in the WNBA on the inside, and Li Menghe, who had a good fitness and dared to fight, they were at the forefront of Huang Sijing of the World Cup qualifying MVP trophy. However, the Chinese team’s bottom line is still the biggest “soft underbelly.” In the previous warm-up match with the Serbian women’s basketball team, the three defenders of the Chinese team only scored 4 points in total, but there are been as many as 17 errors. No wonder FIBA women’s basketball expert Paul Nelson made it clear: “The Chinese team has many talented players who have the opportunity to make an impact on the World Cup podium, but only if the defenders give enough support to attackers and inside players. And help. ” According to Nielsen, many of the strongest women’s basketball teams in the world are currently in the transition between the old and the new, and their overall strength has declined. This is an opportunity that the Chinese women’s basketball team should seize.
That said, for the girls on the Chinese team, this trip to Australia still needs the word “spelling” in the first place. In addition to the reasonable distribution of physical fitness for the intensive program, the first match with the Korean team in the group stage and the European power of Belgium The matches of the team are very important. And after entering the knockout stage, it’s even more difficult to deal with the situation where every match is a tough battle – if you’re a little careless, you may not be able to achieve your goals. Regarding the goal of going to the Women’s Basketball World Cup this time, Li Yueru, the inner core of the Chinese women’s basketball team, said in a media interview: “I hope we can rank better than the previous one!” the implication is that we must at least rank at number 1. The ranking of five, and in the eyes of many Chinese fans, the most reasonable goal of the Chinese women’s basketball team is to reach the semi-finals and fight for a medal impact.
