Beijing time on September 14, 2025. In another 3 days, September 17 and September 18, we have games of the women's basketball national team to watch, cheer and enjoy. ——The Chinese women's basketball team will play two warm-up matches with the Spanish club Juventus team in Xi'an. The team has now flew to Beijing and then started training in Xi'an. Looking forward to these two games!

Following the Olympics every four years as a preparation cycle, this time the Chinese women's basketball team is catching up with the same time as before: in the Tokyo cycle, the Chinese team is led by Xu Liming, and the results are starting to begin, and the new golden generation is gradually growing. In the Paris Olympic cycle, coach Zheng Wei became the head coach and had excellent results, including the runner-up of the 2022 World Cup, the champion of the 2023 Asian Cup + Asian Games, and the golden generation led by Li Meng and Li Yueru. ——Now that the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic cycle is coming, the Chinese women's basketball team is tight in time and has heavy tasks.

On the one hand, veterans may be gradually fading out, including Li Meng, Wang Siyu, and Yang Liwei born in 1995. On the other hand, the rise and training of newcomers also require continuous increase in exercise! Therefore, after head coach Gong Luming took office in February this year, he has organized several training camps.

The first phase of the training camp starts from March this year to July. This cycle is based on preparing for the Asian Cup in July. All veterans who can train with the team are recruited, including Huang Sijing, Wang Siyu, Yang Liwei, Pan Zhenqi, etc., Li Yueru cannot return, and Zhang Ziyu is selected. In the spring and summer of this year, the Chinese women's basketball team conducted hard training from Beijing to Haitang and played 4 warm-up matches. The old and new teams competed for the Asian Cup - a little regretful, they lost to Japan in the semi-finals and only won the bronze medal.

After the end of the Women's Basketball Asian Cup, the women's basketball clubs are facing two events, one is the National Games Women's Basketball Qualification Championship, and the other is the National Women's Basketball Championship. These two events will be held in August and September. The Chinese women's basketball team decided to hold another one and a half months of training during this period, from mid-August to the end of September. Players born before 1998 will not be recruited for the time being. From 1998 to 2008, many players from this span were in the team, including Xu Fengwei, who had just played the U19 Women's Basketball World Cup.

At present, this national team is stepping up training. They continue to strengthen their shooting opportunities and continue to strengthen the intensity training of the plateau in Haitang, Yunnan. Han Xu led the center position, Zhang Ru led the forward position, and Yang Shuyu led the defender. ——As the focus is also: former men's basketball national player Wang Zhizhi, who, as a center, will focus on cultivating and creating technical training for Chinese women's basketball center inside players.

On September 5, the Chinese women's basketball team had a warm-up match with the men's basketball student players from a university in Yunnan. The women's basketball team won 95-86 and tested the training results through actual combat.

On September 12, the Chinese women's basketball team once again played a warm-up match with the Yunnan college men's basketball team, and the women's basketball team lost 83-86. ——From the photos of the live game, the players devoted themselves and worked very hard.

On September 17 and 18, after playing two warm-up games with Juventus Club, the Chinese women's basketball team will train until the end of this month, and will disband and return to local teams on September 30 to prepare for the National Games in November.

The rhythm of the Chinese women's basketball team is indeed busy, but it is obviously not enough not to seize the opportunity: in December, the new season of the WCBA league will begin. Next spring, there will be the Women's Basketball Asian Championships, the Women's Basketball World Cup in the summer, and the Japanese Asian Games in the autumn. ——The Chinese women's basketball team is using all their time to train and enhance their strength.
