After the game, Zheng Wei, the head coach of the Chinese women's basketball team, attended the press conference, and Zheng Wei came to the stage to apologize and said:"I apologize to everyone, we played a very bad game in the New Year, in fact, before this game we were mentally prepared for the defensive intensity of the French team, maybe we haven't been in contact with this kind of European and American teams for too long, last year we played all Asian teams, not very comfortable with the defensive intensity of world-class teams. Especially at the beginning of the game, the opponent wants to disrupt our normal rhythm, and we also have some changes in thinking, and the offense and defense cannot be normal. "
Zheng Wei continued:"As you can see from the stats, we are a team team with more than 20 assists per game, and today we only had 14 assists and 22 turnovers, and our offensive accuracy was very low. We're going to take stock of this game and we'll have one more game tomorrow and we'll adapt as soon as possible and hopefully tomorrow we can play at our normal level. "
Zheng Wei also revealed the team's next preparation plan:"The team has plans for the next game, and they will organize a series of matches against the world's best teams. "
The core Li Meng said that he would not lose confidence.
Li Meng was the Chinese women's basketball team's leading scorer with 21 points, and was the only player on the team to score in double figures. After the game, Li Meng summed up the defeat like this:"I think confidence is not something that can be gained in one or two games, it can be improved, and it can be defeated, our Chinese women's basketball team has also come from the bottom step by step, we have risen step by step, and to this day, we defeated the French team in the World Cup, and then participated in the Asian Cup, and won the Asian Championship. Even if we lost this game, it doesn't mean we will lose confidence, we will focus on our own problems and more importantly we have to do our best. "
Talking about the next important game with the Puerto Rico women's basketball team, Li Meng said through social **"Prepare well for the next game! Thank you to the fans and friends who have supported us, and Happy New Year...Legs, luckily you succeeded, and my heart is with you. "
Huang Siqing pointed out that the level of the league is relatively low.
Another rising star of the women's basketball team, Huang Sijing, scored 9 points, making her the second-highest scoring player on the team. After the game, Huang Sijing summarized the game as follows:"I don't think we played very well today. As you all know, we haven't played a game of this intensity for more than a year since we came back from the league and prepared for the window. It was very difficult for us to get used to. I think it's been a great experience for us and a good foundation for our competition in the second half of the year, including in Paris. I think that's one of the things we need to learn in the future"。
In fact, everyone has also seen that the French team has also returned to the game from the league, but their intensity of the game and their adaptation to the game have not weakened at all. In fact, compared to us, our league level is still relatively low, which is not good for us to prepare for future international competitions, and we still need to adapt more. I hope we don't take stock of today's games and affect the next game, because tomorrow we still have games and I hope we can give our all to get a ticket to the Olympics. "
