At the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, China's women's basketball team finished fifth, a breakthrough performance that galvanized the entire nation. The following year, in the World Cup, the Chinese women's basketball team narrowly beat Australia by only two points to reach the final, a happy news that instantly ignited the enthusiasm of domestic fans. Immediately after that, in the 2023 Asian Cup and the Asian Games, the Chinese women's basketball team is even more consecutive laurels, glory. In front of such a brilliant record, people are full of expectations for the future of the Chinese women's basketball team.
Analyzing the team's recent performance, head coach Zheng Wei said that although we showed a very high level of athleticism in the match against France, it also exposed our shortcomings. As we have not played against the top teams in Europe and America for a long time, our players were a bit unaccustomed to such opponents. However, it was this loss that became the catalyst for us to move forward to the Paris Olympics. We are currently ranked second in the world and our strength is undoubted, but the road to success must be fully committed and there is no room for error.
