Originally, I wrote about Pan Zhanle today.

However, let's return to the "old business" first, there are a lot of sincere things I want to say about Chinese basketball.

In an early morning game, the Australia women's basketball team defeated the host France women's basketball team in the final game of Group B and ranked second in the group, thus making the Chinese women's basketball team miss the quarterfinals of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games due to a goal difference.

The gap with the quarterfinals is a goal difference of 1 point.

With the Chinese women's basketball team out, the Paris journey of Chinese basketball has also come to an end.

The three-person men's and women's baskets are easy to explain:

The men's basketball team is the weakest team among the eight teams, and going to Paris is already "lifting the strength of the whole country", and winning one game is already beyond expectations, whether this is Serbia's old watch to give a face or its own hand explosion, it is difficult to evaluate.

In short, it is true that the skills are not as good as others.

The three-person women's basketball team, the bronze medalist of the Tokyo Olympics, did not enter the semifinals this year, which is easy to explain: after Wang Lili's serious injury, she did not have the previous state of "Chinese female Jordan".

The five-a-side women's basketball team didn't make it to the quarterfinals, it's hard to explain...

Why?

One word I would say is anticlamation.

Because the men's basketball team was assigned to the audience and could not play the Olympics for two consecutive years, the eyes of Chinese fans were undoubtedly on the Chinese women's basketball team.

This is not like the 2008 Beijing Olympics, there is a Chinese men's basketball team, and the attention to the women's basketball team is far less than it is today, even if the combination of Miao Lijie + Chen Nan also led the team to the semifinals, but there are few people to discuss...

This year is so different.

Especially when I won the runner-up in the World Cup two years ago, everyone's expectations jumped up all of a sudden, and they all looked forward to standing on the podium, right?

The organization's goal before the game is also set in the semi-finals.

Excessive expectations are both a good thing and a bad thing for the women's basketball team, and it is both motivation and shackles.

Just because you won the second place in the world once doesn't mean that you are at this level. I have always been, the overall pattern of world women's basketball is "one super and many strong", except for the United States women's basketball team, which really can't touch porcelain, other teams have the opportunity to play a dozen.

If you want to win, it depends on the details of the game and the state of the game.

These two points, the Chinese women's basketball team is terrible this year...

I don't like to say that the Japan women's basketball team is "disgusting", and we will lose to Belgium by 27 points no more, no less.

I don't like to say why such a game can't be played at the same time.

If you want to blame yourself, you will blame yourself for not being angry, and the weak will put their fate in the hands of others.

People are not familiar with you, why should they give you such favors? It's all Asian teams, and Japan's mentality is probably "I can't get out of the line, and you can't figure it out." ”

Therefore, there is really no need to complain about uncontrollable external factors, people are deliberately malicious to you, you can call the police...

What to think about is:

The first game against Spain, what about the game in the pocket? Why go foul?

In the second game against Serbia, why don't you score for a few minutes and lose so much?

The third game against Serbia, why didn't you score the last attack?

...

We have too many chances to reach the quarter-finals, and the most hurtful one is the first defeat to Spain. After losing at that time, I actually wanted to say that sentence that was easy to be scolded:

Even if you really make it to the quarterfinals, there is a high probability that you will United States, and the goal of the semifinals will not be reached.

Why lose to Spain? Why can't I make it to the quarterfinals?

Is it detailing? Is it an injury? Is it that we don't run in well?

Let's talk about the deeper reasons:In the past two years, the Chinese women's basketball team has regressed too much.

is still the lineup structure when the world runner-up, but there is only one person who has risen the ball: Li Yueru.

Why does Xiaobao progress? I gave up the comfortable life in China and went out.

He first went to the Turkey League and then returned to the WNBA with his outstanding performance.

"Playing in the country is not strong and confrontational, not too challenging, each team in the Turkey league has 3 to 4 people who have played in the WNBA, playing in the Turkey league can get better improvement, but also can practice their foreign language skills, and can help themselves adapt to the WNBA team environment."

This is her expression.

There are traces of her progress, that is, to give up the comfortable environment and play more games with exercise value.

Don't shout "increase the salary of the Chinese women's basketball team" at every turn, the players who can be selected for the country earn more than the WNBA superstars in China.

The top stars in the WNBA only have an annual salary of about $250,000, and role players like Li Yueru only earn $60,000 a year.

How much real money did she pay to improve?

With her level of ability, she can easily get millions of income in China, and she is close to home with more money and less trouble.

However, people have dreams.

In other words, the domestic environment is too comfortable, the same as the men's basketball team.Especially for players who have entered the national team and won honors, she doesn't have to work too hard at all, she has a big contract, she has endorsements, and she can be on the show.

In this regard, even Stewart, Taurasi, Wilson, Ionescu, these United States women's basketball dads, have to envy us with their real names.

Just ask:Is there competition in our domestic women's basketball league?For many years, Sichuan has Mongolia choose one of the two...

The Sichuan team is basically the starting team of the national team + Cambage, for the players, how many points to win per game, what is the value of exercise...

Finally, about the end of the Chinese basketball trip to Paris, I asked from my heart:In this saline land, can you still expect a bumper harvest?

You don't have to live in the past, everyone else is improving. If the players don't go out, if the domestic league is still so comfortable, then whether the Chinese women's basketball team can play the Olympics in the future is still one thing.

Because you can see the overall progress of the women's basketball team in the world.

Especially some European teams, like Germany, Belgium...

Once people pay attention to the development of women's basketball and use the men's basketball team to cultivate people, they will get up quickly.

And we, although we have super centers, but the scoring ability of the guard line is too far behind.

The masculinization of women's skills is a global trend.

The Chinese women's basketball team is seriously out of touch.
