When China achieved the first in Asia and the second in the world women’s basketball, China’s National Youth Women’s Basketball fell into the mire one after another.
On July 16, U19 Women’s Basketball World Cup, the National Youth women’s basketball was women’s basketball by Egypt to complete 32 points Super plot twist.
In the U16 Women’s Basketball Asian Cup on the same day, Guoqing women’s basketball ranked sixth in the competition with a record of 1 win and 3 losses, creating the worst record of China women’s basketball in the U16 Asian Championship……
Guoqing women’s basketball attracted the attention of fans with unexpected losses over and over again, and also made more people understand the hidden worries of women’s basketball youth training behind the prosperity of China’s women’s basketball “golden generation.
Wuhan shengfan group questioned China Basketball Association.
Successive failures
On July 13, a letter of doubt uncovered the embarrassment of Guoqing women’s basketball.
At that time, Wuhan shengfan group, which donated 1.2 million yuan to U16 Women’s Basketball, issued seven questions: “Is China’s U16 Women’s basketball so bad? What is the reason for such a result in the first game?”
“The amount of donation is mainly used for training. Is this the result of five-month training? Is the training not in place? Or is there an error in selecting a candidate? Can’t the players? Or can’t the coach?”
The reason why the Basketball Association was “bombarded” was that the national youth women’s basketball lost 26 points to the Japanese team 44-70 in the first game of the U16 Women’s Basketball Asian Championship.
U16 lost to South Korea women’s basketball, ranking only sixth.
Since then, Guoqing women’s basketball defeated New Zealand women’s basketball in the U16 Asian Championship 73-95 and South Korea 63-84, ranking sixth with a record of 1 win and 3 losses, creating the worst record of China women’s basketball in the U16 Asian Championship, the worst result of China’s women’s basketball in this event was the third.
China women’s basketball will miss the U17 Women’s Basketball World Cup next year due to the failure of the group to qualify……
At the same time as the U16 Asian Championship, the U19 Women’s Basketball World Cup was played. The Chinese team first lost 62-83 to Canada and then faced with Egypt. The National Youth women’s basketball led 44-12, the 32-point women’s basketball was achieved by Egyptian plot twist.
After the game, Egyptian coach Mustafa Assef hardhood knelt to celebrate, while the International Basketball Federation wrote: “This is one of the greatest victories in any event planned by the International Basketball Federation.”
At the end of the second section and the beginning of the third section, China U19 was hit 20-0 by Egypt women’s basketball, and the fourth section of the Chinese team was 4-20 net negative 16 points.
The Egyptian coach knelt to celebrate.
Youth training is difficult to cook without Rice
In fact, this decline did not begin this year.
In the U18 women’s basketball Asian Youth Championship held in India in 2022, the Chinese team first lost Chinese Taipei in the group match, and was hit with a 21-0 climax in the third quarter, then lost Japan, among which the first half fell by as many as 17 points, the game lost its suspense early.
Li Xin, the head coach of that team at that time, cried out rarely in an interview with Tiantian sports: “I don’t have rice in the pot” “I am stretched to the limit” “No matter how capable I am, I can’t get on the court. I have no choice”.
The U18 national youth women’s basketball is the base of the current U19 national youth women’s basketball, but the coach changed from Li Xin to Serbian foreign teacher Igel polenick, who was once the teaching assistant of China’s women’s basketball.
In other words, the U19 national youth women’s basketball, which was reversed by Egypt women’s basketball 32 points, was not an accident, but a hidden danger had already been buried.
U16 Women’s basketball does not match South Korea.
If you look at Li Xin’s interview last year, you can understand why this team is weak-when interviewed by Xinhua News Agency, Li Xin said: “influenced by age structure, the children in 2004 were in a very awkward situation. They couldn’t play in the National Games in Shaanxi, and the next National Games was nothing for them, so these children were not valued.”
“Youth training includes the lack of talents and the low level of youth training, which cannot be solved by my personal feelings.”
If the lack of competitiveness of this U19 national youth women’s basketball is affected by the cycle of the National Games, then the U16 Women’s Basketball, which lost its dominance in Asia, is the most realistic reflection of the current women’s basketball youth training.
In 2021the national U19 youth basketball league Tai’an division, the organizing committee issued a notice-Sichuan female youth, Shandong Female Youth, Guangdong Female Youth “regardless of the ranking”, the reason is that the three teams “have less than 8 registered people”.
When the youth team players at the bottom of the pyramid are becoming fewer, there are naturally fewer top-notch and high-quality players to choose from. This is why Li Xin sighed with emotion that “it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without Rice”.
What should I do after the golden generation
I have to admit that this Chinese women’s basketball standing on the world stage is the new “golden generation” of women’s basketball “.
In China’s women’s basketball history, since Zheng Haixia joined the Los Angeles spark team in 1997, less than 10 players have entered WNBA. Before Han Xu and Li Yuelu joined WNBA, only Zheng Haixia, Sui Feifei, Miao Lijie, chen Nan and Shao Ting have played for WNBA.
Therefore, when Han Xu, Li Meng and Yang Liwei appeared in WNBA this year, they were lucky in the history of China’s women’s basketball.
But after these players, is there any fresh blood in China’s women’s basketball?
Previously, a person in charge of WCBA club gave such a number in an interview with Xinhua news agency: “At present, there are only over 200 people who can play women’s basketball in the country, and there are still some people whose competitive level is not up to the competition, it can only be used as a sparring and supplement for daily training.”
Egypt steals China U19 women’s basketball.
In the past three years, due to the absence of large and small U series events, young players have neither games to play nor visible in the world.
In addition, the WCBA league, which was absent from foreign aid, became the dominant pattern of Inner Mongolia Women’s basketball and Sichuan women’s basketball, and even canceled the WCBA league from 2019 to 2020……
This is also why, after China won the runner-up in the women’s basketball World Cup in women’s basketball, Yao Ming stressed that “the result of women’s basketball is a surprise and you can’t be hot-headed”.
“To effectively use the attention and help of these societies to us, we also need to step up our work and come up with an overall framework and plan.”
But obviously, the framework and plan for the women’s basketball youth training still have a long way to go.
