Live Bar, June 26 -china won Lebanon women’s basketball 89-44 women’s basketball in the first world of the Asian Cup on women’s basketball. Coach Zheng Wei and player Han Xu attended the press conference after the game.

However, with the deepening of the game, I think we are doing better and better on the defensive side, especially suppressing the characteristics and cooperation of the other side. We have many good offensive opportunities. Later, everyone gradually entered the state, and we still played our current level.”
When talking about the current state of the team, Zheng Wei said: “Everyone knows that our team has a relatively short time to combine this year. After arriving in the competition area, the team personnel will arrive, so our team still needs more running-in, today, more players were sent to play very early to feel the atmosphere of the game. We also hope to play a further game, and the chemical reaction behind can play better.”
When talking about the goal of this women’s basketball Asian Cup, Zheng Wei said: “We must first ensure the number of qualification matches in the Olympic Games, and strive for the best results through the running-in of the group stage.”
Han Xu said: “Today is the first Asian Cup game. Everyone is not in good defensive state at the beginning of the game, and then the hit rate in the first half is relatively low. I think this is a very normal phenomenon, we also need some time to get familiar with the rhythm of the competition. With the improvement of our defense strength, everyone gradually found a state. I think the defense still needs to be strengthened.”
