After a saddening loss, Chinese women's basketball coach Zheng Wei faced the camera, in the post-game news spotlight, the cause of the defeat in-depth analysis. She said bluntly: "Han Xu's absence, undoubtedly to our interior defense has brought a huge challenge, she in the rebound scramble and the key role in the interior defense, we feel the same. And Li Meng's absence, more let us in the decisive juncture lost a stable scoring guarantee." Zheng Wei's words, straight to the crux of the Chinese women's basketball team's loss.
As the head coach, Zheng Wei's every decision cannot escape the critical eyes of the public. Some have questioned the quality of the team's training, after all, the team's three-point and free throw shooting percentages were not satisfactory in the game. Some have questioned Zheng Wei's strategy, even speculating why she hid two key players in this crucial battle. Jia Xiuquan's abandonment of players in the history of the Chinese women's soccer team also supports this speculation. Rumors of infighting also abound.
In the face of these questions, Zheng Wei responded in the press conference: "I am aware of the concerns and questions, but please believe that every decision I make is based on the best interests of the team. The absence of Han Xu and Li Meng is not my wish, but for health reasons. I look forward to their return to health and their return to the field in top form."
In response to the outside world at the same time, Zheng Wei also revealed the urgent expectation for Han Xu and Li Meng to return to the team: "I am as eager as everyone else to see their return. They are the backbone of the team and are vital to the team's overall strength. I will stay in close contact with the medical team to make sure they can return as quickly as their bodies allow." However, under such pressure, Wang Siyu had to carry more responsibility alone, only to realize helplessly that he could not save the team from the crisis.
The pain of Zheng Wei's guidance is self-evident. He longed to meet strong opponents with the strongest lineup, but was hampered by various objective reasons. In the midst of such adversity, he endured the skepticism of the outside world. Despite the cruelty of sports competition, the warmth of humanity cannot be ignored. We will always remember Zheng Wei's selfless dedication to the Chinese women's basketball team!
