The women s basketball team 90-81 Juventus Tout, 20 mistakes exposed problems, let s see what the media said?

On September 17, 2025, the match between the Chinese women's basketball team and the Juventus Tut women's basketball team attracted much attention. This is the first warm-up match held by the international team since the training camp of the Chinese women's basketball team. It can be regarded as the touchstone of the women's basketball training results.

Although the Chinese women's basketball team finally defeated Juventus 90:81, this victory did not bring much joy to people, and it was a bit thrilling to win. Many new media people also made objective comments on this. The Chinese women's basketball team's transition from old to old is still a long way to go! As soon as the game started, Juventus gave the Chinese women's basketball team a move. As soon as it started, they made 5 shots and got 10 points. The typical "modern basketball" style of play, coach Gong Luming originally planned to crush it with his height, but was resisted by the opponent with rhythm and cooperation. The linkage between internal and external lines and overall coordination is exactly what the Chinese women's basketball team lacks and strives to improve.

If you can win this game, you have to mention two people. The first one is Yang Shuyu, who made 10 of 14 shots in the game, 5 of 9 three-pointers, and scored the highest 25 points in the game. Her outbreak stabilized the scene directly, and the score difference once widened to 10 points.

The second place is Han Xu. As a veteran Chinese women's basketball team, he can still withstand the pressure at critical moments. He made 7 of 10 shots, 15 points and 4 rebounds, resisted the pressure in the interior, and "struggled" with Juventus No. 12 Dembele in the first half, and was not at a disadvantage. Without her in charge, the first game might have been a failure. The error data of the review statistics after the game were particularly eye-catching. There were 20 mistakes in the whole game, 9 were sent in the first quarter alone, 12 times in the half, and 7 people were cut off. On average, there are 5 mistakes in a single quarter, which is very telling.

The frequent occurrence of low-level mistakes is not only a psychological problem for the newcomer, but also shows that the women's basketball team is not in good condition. It can be said that the difference is still far from being too bad, and the ball rights protection and offensive series are not stable. Perhaps this is the inevitable "pain period" that changes between the old and the new.

Professional media person "Don't run and just carry a pig" has a sharp view: now our forward line is almost all traditional No. 4 positions, and at most they can shoot on the outside line. If you really want to break through and organize the offense, you can't count on it. When you meet the world's strong team, who is not a multi-functional forward? If we are short, we will always be passive.

His point of view can be said to be the problem that directly hits the Chinese women's basketball team. The current Chinese women's basketball team lacks high-quality ball-holding breakthroughs, which cannot bring high pressure to the opponent. With low transmission efficiency, the overall lineup will appear very stupid, and frequent mistakes are inevitable.

To be honest, in this long-awaited warm-up match, the new players basically did not get any surprises. Media person "Fu Zhenghao MVP" said it bluntly: "I haven't found anyone who can carry the banner yet. The veteran has lost his vitality, but the new generation has not yet come to the forefront."

This is also the biggest controversy on the Internet about the transition between new and old women's basketball teams - "Are you taking too big steps?" Even if young players need more setbacks and experience, it is difficult to understand whether it is tactical or emotional to enable young players to completely use them and give up the veterans.

The author personally feels that leading the new with the old is the right way. Only with the protection of veterans can young players have a direction to learn, slowly take over the banner from veterans, and the spirit of the women's basketball team can be passed on.

Gong Luming said it very clearly after the game: "It's not about winning, it's important to expose the problem, solve it in time, and strive to be better off the game." Everyone actually understands the problems caused by the alternation of new and old. The newcomers are still very immature in both tactics and mentality.

If the Chinese women's basketball team wants to achieve results in the Paris Olympics and the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, they have to experience these "stumbling". I hope that in every game ahead, we can see the women's basketball team keep improving.
