Live Bar, September 14 news recently, Han Xu talked about the recent situation and the prospect of the World Cup in an interview. Reporter: How did you practice with teammates of the national team after returning from WNBA? Han Xu: I packed up my luggage as soon as I finished the WNBA game and came to Serbia to join the national team. The atmosphere and preparation status of the whole team are very good. I hope I can integrate into the team as soon as possible and work well with the team. Reporter: Did you pay attention to the national team and communicate with the coaching staff and teammates during WNBA? Han Xu: I have been preparing for the New York Free Men competition before. During this period, I will often send my data and performance information to the leaders of the Basketball Association and the coaching team of the national team, let them have a more intuitive understanding of my performance. Reporter: How do you feel about getting support to participate in the WNBA competition during the national team’s training preparation? Han Xu: First of all, I am very grateful to the leaders and coaches of the Chinese Basketball Association and the leaders and coaches of the Sichuan women’s basketball club for supporting me to play and study in WNBA, especially in this special period, I am very grateful. This experience is very precious to me and also an experience of my life, so I take every game I play in the free team seriously. I hope I can learn new things every day and help China women’s basketball better after returning to China, so as to live up to the support of leaders and fans. Reporter: What help will the experience of WNBA bring to the next World Cup? Han Xu: I think this experience will improve my comprehensive ability and understanding of the game. I have also met many excellent international players in the world, we have a deeper understanding of the characteristics of our opponents. I will also actively share with teammates and coaches, hoping to help the team achieve better results in the World Cup. Reporter: Will you meet your teammates or opponents in WNBA in the World Cup? What do you need to do in position 5? Han Xu: Yes, there will be many. In my position, I will ask myself according to the standards and attitude of the old players, and prepare harder and more seriously than others, take up my responsibilities and help the team more. Reporter: Did you set a small goal for yourself to participate in the World Cup this time? Han Xu: the predecessors of women’s basketball have achieved the second place in the World Cup. I hope to learn from them and take them as the goal to sprint for good results. Then my goal is to perform better than before, just give full play to my advantages and what I have learned. Reporter: How is the recovery of the waist injured in the previous confrontation training now? Han Xu: I accidentally stumbled and fell to the ground during the previous training. I recovered (slowly) and started training with the team a few days ago after doing some physical recovery training. Now I am treating it every day, and it feels OK. Reporter: European training has exposed problems such as insufficient confrontation women’s basketball. How should we make up for it? Han Xu: I think confrontation is two words, which need to be “active”. I think there may be a little gap between our physical condition and overseas players, but this gap can be made up with initiative. In fact, Li Yuelu and I can both successfully play WNBA, that is, how to take the initiative to fight against the opponent and let the opponent fall into a passive position.
