1. Moment of Decision
On September 30, the Chinese women's basketball team broke into the
World Cup
News of the Final Four hit social media. This is both because the last time the Chinese women's basketball team became
World Cup
The first two also go back to 1994 (when it was still called the
world championship
), and also because of the swashbuckling game against Australia.
Before the game, China's women's basketball forward core Li Meng is out of action due to illness, and Australia has the advantage of the home court, everyone for the girls pinched a sweat. Although this
World Cup
On the Chinese women's basketball team in good shape, the group stage won South Korea and Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the strongest U.S. women's basketball match was only lost 14 points, but the Australian women's basketball team is just as strong, they are the last runner-up, this session of the game, four wins and one loss, ranked first in the group b group, the Chinese team did not have absolute certainty.
The game started. Toward the end of the first quarter, with the teams deadlocked at the 13:12 mark, head coach Zheng Wei sent Han Xu onto the court. Han Xu's presence activated both the inside and outside lines of the team, and by the time she came off the court in the second quarter, the Chinese team had taken a 36:30 lead, with Han Xu contributing 13 points and two rebounds. Of course, the excellent data does not explain the whole process, we must know that Han Xu is facing the legendary superstar Lauren Johnson, who won the MVP of WNBA league for 3 times and was selected to WNBA all-star team for 7 times. Han Xu's nascent momentum and sharp inside cuts left the Australian team helpless. The third quarter 2:18, Han Xu again on the field, two minutes two caps for the Chinese team to win the first, the end of the three-quarter game, the Chinese team still has a 3-point lead. Then, the most intense fourth quarter began, the winner enters the final, the loser loses the game, no one wants to lose, Han Xu is no exception.

The game clock was running down and the atmosphere was getting more and more heated, with two minutes left the game was tied 57:57. Australia then took advantage of two free throws to bring the game to a 59:57 lead, and the Australian crowd began to give a standing ovation. In the following minute, the game went into a white heat, both sides missed the opportunity to score, and it was only at 46.6 seconds that the Chinese team scored two points by Huang Sijing to tie the game again. At this point, the atmosphere in the stadium had already reached its peak, with less than 4 seconds left, winning or losing was only a matter of time. Using the ball to break through, Wang Siyu caused the opponent to foul and hit both free throws, 61:59, China's score back to the lead - 3.4 seconds left, Australia still have a chance?
After a timeout, both teams took the field again. Australia in the front sideline hair, the ball passed to the hands of Han Xu defense center Magbego - Magbego is Han Xu's age, in Han Xu's words, is "growing up playing together", she is characterized by a left-handed breakthrough right-handed finish, the previous game Han Xu effective defense of this point, both sides have back and forth, "control is not bad". But right at the most critical moment, Magbegoe decided to take a risk. She pretended to cover, but the result is the right hand holding the ball breakthrough, leaving Han Xu only zero point zero seconds of reaction time, which is a great test for the young Han Xu. In the end, the ball did not go in. China's women's basketball team achieved the final victory. 19 points, 11 rebounds, 5 blocks, Han Xu proved herself again in this crucial battle, helping the team to achieve a crucial victory, which is the only one who can play in the women's basketball team since the 21st century.

2. Hibernation period
Han Xu's advantage lies not only in her two-meter-seven height and excellent technique, but also in her age. Han Xu was born in October 1999 in Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province, this year but 23 years old. Han Xu's parents are both members of the provincial team.

After they worked in coaching, Han Xu grew up on the field. "Thought they were all pretty good, fast runners and handsome."
When she was a child, Han Xu was studying in an ordinary elementary school before she specialized in basketball, and when she joined an extracurricular interest class in basketball, she found that it was a "high IQ" game. "The court is not only the rules of passing and shooting, but also a lot of tactical cooperation, a lot of changes, which makes me more and more interested, and is also one of the reasons to support me to persist." In 2011, at the age of 12, Han Xu entered Tsinghua attached high school basketball, and in 2016 Han Xu was selected as the best team in the u17 women's basketball world youth tournament. "At that time, I was especially excited, I felt like I was the brightest star, and I couldn't wait to share the news with my family, wanting them to be proud of me."

Han Xu joined the Xinjiang team in 2018 and officially started the wcba campaign. In the first game of his league career, Han Xu delivered a convincing answer: 16 points, 12 rebounds and 4 caps in 33.6 minutes of play. That season, Han Xu made 34 regular season appearances, averaging 16.1 minutes, with 15.9 points and 8.9 rebounds. Such achievements gained favor with the wnba, and in April 2019, Han Xu was then selected by the New York Liberty with the 14th overall pick in the draft.
Han Xu, who was less than 20 years old at the time, was green, and she didn't get much of a chance to sign with the wcba Sichuan Yuanda Meilu women's basketball team in 2021 and stayed there until April 2022 when she returned to the United States. By this time Han Xu had matured quite a bit, and she represented China in the Tokyo

, and by the time it was time to return to the New York Liberty again, she had made up her mind: no benching this time.
Han Xu said, wnba's game both pay attention to physical quality, also pay attention to teamwork, each team has different characteristics, but the same is "rely on a single horse, it is difficult to achieve good results". wnba brought another experience is the vision of the broadening, like this time

Of course, the greater progress still comes from the psychological confidence. In the New York Liberty, Han Xu has been the main rotation, whenever the team can not open the situation, Han Xu is the head coach's variables and cards. Regular season after a few rounds, the team can not lose, so Han Xu is under great pressure, there is a game to face a similar height with her but her weight is twice the player, on the court before she is still a little scared, on the court after she realized that the other side in fact also afraid of her place. Han Xu was instantly centered. "It's right to be prepared for difficulties, but sometimes the actual situation may be different from what you think." With such ample real-world experience and confidence, Han Xu was

It is not surprising that the outburst on the. After the tournament, FIBA praised Han Xu in an article on its official website, saying: Han Xu's success in international and domestic tournaments has allowed more people to see the future of the Chinese women's basketball team.
3. The journey has just begun
Han Xu is indeed carrying the expectations of many people for the Chinese women's basketball team. After the final loss to the U.S. team, Han Xu felt regret, but not discouraged. She said: "We have all gone all out to fight, although there are regrets, but the future is still promising, we also hold a very positive mindset, I believe that the next time we can play better, after all, we still have a lot of young players in the team."

Continuous transfer, Han Xu's schedule is very intensive, her waist, soles and left calf have some injuries due to fatigue. In the past, when she got the MVP, she thought more about her personal honor, but now she thinks it is a common glory for all the people who support her and help her. "It includes the trust of the team, but also the responsibility you have to bear, because there are really a lot of silent people behind the achievements, and they are all the heroes behind." In Han Xu's opinion, although women's basketball is not as confrontational as men's basketball, the rhythm and dexterity of women's basketball highlights the part of basketball that is fun and intelligent, "We play basketball, but we have our own characteristics." Han Xu hopes that her experience will inspire the next generation and that more girls will be willing to join the world of basketball.
In her daily life, Han Xu, who plays both offense and defense on the field, also has a normal girl's beauty side. a few days before elle's shoot, she had just gotten a new manicure and was reading a book called Don't Think Too Much and a drama called Twenty Not Too Loud. The book was about emotional healing for sensitive people, and the drama was about a group of girls Han Wook's age going from school to society. She thought they were both good, and she liked the psychology reads and wanted to see how ordinary people outside the basketball world spent their 20s. She thinks the TV series is pretty realistic, and that she has gone through the same process of slowly maturing from a student player to a professional player, except that there is always a new Han Xu to be discovered, both on and off the court - the good thing is that she's still young, her story with the Chinese women's basketball team is still unfinished, and her journey to greater MVPs has only just begun.

The team returned from the group stage in defeat with two losses and a draw, while Japan is not only the winner of the past two cups, but also reached the last eight in Tokyo. To add insult to injury, striker Wang Frost, who was crowned Miss Football Asia in 2018, is out of action due to injury, leaving China with less of that dagger that can seal the deal with a single sword, so what to win by and how to win next?
Japan's continued fast-pressing quickly broke through the Chinese defense, and in the 33rd minute, Riko Ueki capitalized on the Chinese team's mistake by nodding her head in front of the goal. In the second half, the Chinese team changed their formation, replacing the odd man out Xiao Yuyi, who lived up to her name, assisting Wu Chengshu's padded shot to equalize only two minutes into the second half. Neither team was able to go any further, and the game went into overtime, where Riko Ueki's header broke Chinese goalkeeper Zhu Yu's fingers in the 13th minute of extra time.

The game went by minute by minute, the fans were waiting for a miracle, and Wang Shanshan was still fighting for a miracle. Finally, teammate Zhang Xin passed the ball from the left wing, Wang Shanshan grabbed the ball in front of the goal, the back of her left foot gently padded, the ball through the narrow gap between the goal post and the goalkeeper, and finally landed firmly in the net.
Almost single-handedly, Wang Shanshan helped China drag the game into a thrilling penalty shootout. Goalkeeper Zhu Yu was the first to take a penalty kick, but then China's Zhang Xin missed a chance as well. The final penalty was conceded by Japan and the pressure came to Wang Shanshan. She walked towards the 12-yard box and hit a right-footed shot that went through the keeper's fingers and into the goal. Wang Shanshan with China

A captain, she is by no means limited to a certain position, an assist or a goal - in her own words, it's "also about taking on, helping teammates, encouraging, and calling out." "On the field it's all about shouting and using your voice to remind everyone." Wang Shanshan said especially when the score is down, it is more important for the captain to stand up and twist the team into a rope, and in the
Asian cup (e.g. soccer)
In the finals, she did just that.
The final began on February 6 at the dy Patil Stadium in New Mumbai, India. Top scorer Wang Frost played with an injury, and Wang Shanshan pulled back to play center back. In the 27th minute, the South Korean team launched a fast attack, Cui Li Yi in front of the goal to score, in the third minute of the first half of extra time, China's handball foul gave the South Korean team a penalty kick. 0:2, the end of the first half.

This game is remembered by countless fans, firstly, because the process of the game is full of tension, and secondly, because the final reversal is much more tempting and stressful than ordinary matches - you've been paying for 30 years, and now you only have 45 minutes left, what else can you do?

Fortunately for such a backward situation, head coach Shui Qingxia had planned ahead. In the post-match interview, she said, "During the halftime break, I told the players that the first thing is not to be discouraged, to put down the burden and let go of the fight." This is what Wang Shanshan wanted to do. She kept shouting to arouse the fighting spirit of her teammates. In her eyes, the difficulties on the soccer field are the same whether you are ahead or behind. "The playing field is ever-changing, and it's impossible to be predictable." Wang Shanshan said, "It's possible that we could be in the lead and get equalized, or we could be behind and go for the equalizer, it all depends on your own desire to play and your confidence to win." In Wang's opinion, if she scores first, she still has to focus on preventing any loopholes, while if she falls behind, she has to adjust her mindset and start again.
A soccer match lasts 90 minutes, and Wang says the most critical junctures tend to occur in the first 15 minutes of the match and the last 15 minutes, the former when they may not yet be in the groove and the latter when they may have let their guard down. "That's why we all yell for concentration, and when the whistle doesn't blow, we just keep fighting."
The second half of the match started. In the 60th minute, Wang Shanshan was replaced and the wonder player Zhang Linyan came on the field. Her appearance liberated Wang Shanshan's fighting power in the center field, and after 30 minutes, Wang Shanshan controlled the rhythm of the game as if she were a sea pin. In the 67th minute, Zhang Linyan made a point, Tang Jiali made a goal, and in the 72nd minute, Tang Jiali crossed the ball from the right side, and Zhang Linyan scored a header. 2:2, the game was back to even. In the second half, 5 minutes of injury time, South Korea formed a fierce attack in front of China's goal, but just when everyone thought it would be another 120-minute battle, another kill was already brewing under Wang Shanshan's feet. Receiving a pass from Tang Jiali 30 meters away from the goal, Wang Shanshan turned her back and gently pinched her right foot, the ball was like a dagger that tore through the defense of the three opponents, and Xiao Yuyi caught up and completed the final blow.
The tournament was over! Wang Shanshan walked up to the podium with her team and lifted the trophy with the honor of being the captain as well as the MVP of the whole tournament. Countless fans were in tears that night, moved not only by the victory, but also by the return of the spirit of the resounding rose - even after starting three consecutive knockout matches from behind, who could have predicted that China would be the first team to win the tournament?

In her daily training, Wang Shanshan always felt the kind of changes brought by Shui Qingxia. In one of the team's small matches, Shui Qingxia took the field herself, and as long as she was on the field, she would do her best even in an insignificant game. Wang Shanshan saw this in her eyes, and saw herself as the oldest member of the team.
