The Chinese women's basketball team is currently training in Xi'an to prepare for the upcoming Olympic qualifying tournament. According to sources, the team's main player Li Yueru has finished the game in the Turkish league and has returned to the team to train with the team.
Li Yueru's performance in the Turkish league has been remarkable, and her outstanding performance has even attracted great attention from FIBA. FIBA posted her match stats on social media and praised her. Li Yueru's return has brought strong strength to the Chinese women's basketball team, and the team has finally gathered the most luxurious lineup to participate in the Olympic qualifying tournament.
Looking back at the 2023 Chinese women's basketball team to compete in the Asian Cup and Asian Games, the team faced certain challenges due to the absence of some main players. But this time, with the return of Li Yueru, Huang Sijing and Wu Tongtong and other main players, the main lineup of the Chinese women's basketball team gathered together and increased its strength.
In the 15-member training list previously announced by the Chinese women's basketball team, the runner-up team of the 2022 Women's Basketball World Cup continues to be used. Han Xu, Li Meng, Wang Siyu, Huang Sijing, Yang Liwei and other main players are listed. Now that Li Yueru is back, the national player Wu Tongtong, who has returned from injury, has also joined the team, and the young players Luo Xinqi and Tang Yu, who have experience in the 2023 Asian Cup, have also been selected for the training camp.
After winning the World Cup runner-up, the Asian Cup and the Hangzhou Asian Games, the Chinese women's basketball team has stabilized in the second place in the world ranking. The team has a reasonable staffing in all positions and an ideal age structure. The outside world has high hopes for the Chinese women's basketball team, expecting them to achieve good results in the Olympic qualifying tournament.
But head coach Zheng Wei's expectations for the team are very calm and objective. She said that although the performance of the Chinese women's basketball team has been on the rise in the past two years, there are still many deficiencies that need to be further improved and improved.
The home game of the Chinese women's basketball team in Xi'an will start on the evening of the 8th, and the opponent is the New Zealand team. It's going to be a tough battle, but the Chinese women's basketball team is ready.
