Sichuan Women's Basketball Team is writing their own legend with a remarkable presence. Their 17 consecutive victories are not just a numerical accumulation but a declaration of dominance. On the evening of December 30th, Sichuan Women's Basketball Team defeated Fujian Women's Basketball Team at home with an absolute advantage of 106:66. This result was both expected and impressive, making one wonder where the ceiling of this team lies. More importantly, what this game reflects goes beyond the mere significance of victory or defeat.
The reason why Sichuan Women's Basketball Team can dominate on the court is not only because they have top players like Li Meng and Han Xu, but also due to the depth of the team and the chemistry among the players. In this game, Li Meng scored 8 points in just 9 minutes, while Han Xu contributed 7 points in only 7 minutes. This "short time high efficiency" performance may seem low-key at first glance, but upon closer examination, it is the best embodiment of Sichuan Women's Basketball Team's allocation of resources and tactical execution. The two core players chose to leave more opportunities for their teammates, and behind this "give and take" lies the team's absolute confidence in victory.
The most impressive player is undoubtedly Li Shuangfei. With 21 points, 6 rebounds, and 2 assists, her 80% three-point shooting rate is astonishing. Her performance can be described as "perfect," but what is more thought-provoking is that her outburst is not accidental. Li Shuangfei has repeatedly shown her calmness and big heart in critical moments this season, and this game is just another proof of her stable output. It is worth noting that the rise of such "non-mainstream stars" seems to be sending a signal to the outside world: the strength of Sichuan Women's Basketball Team does not solely rely on star players but is a comprehensive, multi-level overall strength.
Xiao Tong's performance is equally eye-catching. With 18 points, 10 rebounds, and 2 assists, such a "double-double" data is enough to become the backbone of any team. What is even more encouraging is that her growth trajectory is clearly visible. From a potential player to a mainstay now, Xiao Tong has proven with practical actions that as long as young players are given opportunities, they can completely support the future of the team. Her performance also makes people think about a bigger topic: Is the overall rise of Chinese women's basketball quietly taking place?
In contrast, Fujian Women's Basketball Team's performance appears somewhat dull. Although foreign aid Banks ignited the team's morale with a three-pointer at the beginning of the game, the overall strength gap made them seem helpless. Such a game result may be regrettable, but it also reflects the actual gap between teams in the current WCBA league. Whether this gap will narrow with the development of the league is undoubtedly a question worth pondering.
Sichuan Women's Basketball Team's winning streak is not only their own glory but also has a profound impact on the entire WCBA league. With the update of the standings, Sichuan Women's Basketball Team remains firmly in first place, followed by Shanxi Women's Basketball Team, Dongguan Women's Basketball Team climbs to third place, Shanghai Women's Basketball Team and Inner Mongolia Women's Basketball Team are ranked fourth and fifth respectively. Such changes in ranking seem to foreshadow new trends in the league pattern to some extent. And the strong rise of Sichuan Women's Basketball Team will also force other teams to re-examine their tactics and lineup configurations.
More importantly, this game also hides a bigger proposition: the future international competitiveness of Chinese women's basketball. As the core force of Chinese women's basketball, the performance of Li Meng and Han Xu is undoubtedly the weathervane of the international arena. Their efficient performance is not only a reflection of personal ability but also a microcosm of the overall level of Chinese basketball. Young players like Li Shuangfei and Xiao Tong inject new vitality into Chinese women's basketball. It can be foreseen that Chinese women's basketball may appear on the international stage with a more confident and strong posture in the future.
After this game, discussions around Sichuan Women's Basketball Team will continue to ferment. Some will discuss when their winning streak record will end, and others will be curious whether other teams can find ways to crack them. In any case, Sichuan Women's Basketball Team has become the benchmark and weathervane of the WCBA league. For fans, the unity, hard work, and wisdom displayed by this team are undoubtedly the best viewing experience.
The 17 consecutive victories of Sichuan Women's Basketball Team are not only a miracle of numbers but also a transmission of spirit. This spirit belongs not only to Sichuan but to all who love basketball. For these players who sweat and chase their dreams on the court, victory is just the starting point, and the real goal is to conquer a broader stage. And for us spectators, witnessing their growth and brilliance is not lucky?
