Recently, Yang Liwei, women’s basketball Chinese player, was interviewed by the media online.
Reporter: introduce your current situation and the gains of this external training.
Yang Liwei: it should be said that it is getting better and better, because it is also approaching the game, and it is getting better and better slowly on the right track. The harvest is that we have few international competition opportunities except for the regular competition, which is very important to us. We also practice on behalf of the competition and find problems. We have gained a lot.
Reporter: One of the problems facing the World Cup is also the lack of warm-up opponents. The team also went abroad to practice warm-up before. During this period, where do you think the team has improved and where are the deficiencies? Our inner line is strong. How can the team’s outer line players help the inner line decompress?
Yang Liwei: we have solved some problems before. For example, we have made many mistakes, solved many problems in key areas, including dealing with some pressures, and found new problems through warm-up matches, we also solved many problems through training and competition. The difficulty lies in the degree of running-in with the two centers Han Xu and Xiao Bao (Li Yueru), because they came back for a relatively short time, and then the team also made some adjustments, in this respect, I think it still needs some time.
Reporter: How are you physically and mentally prepared for the 6-day 5-war schedule?
Yang Liwei: I think it has been done, because after we came out, we all trained according to this schedule, including the match day. In terms of training, it has been simulated to this extent, so I think we are ready for this.
