On July 19, the Chinese women's basketball team lost to the Japanese women's basketball team 81-90 at home, and missed the Asian Cup final again after 8 years. As the absolute core of leading the team to win the championship in the last time, Han Xu scored 18 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals in this game, but the plus-minus value on the court was the worst in the whole team. Han Xu burst into tears after the game, summarizing the semi-final defeat, pointing out that he did not do well in limiting the three-pointers and rebounds in the Japanese women's basketball team. He also responded to why he had not played overseas for two years. She also said that she would do her best to play in overseas leagues in the future. She should also follow Li Yueru and Yang Hansen to continue to improve herself in overseas leagues.

Han Xu participated in the Asian Cup for four consecutive times, and he scored 18+7+7 in the semi-finals and was not tough enough.

Han Xu participated in the Asian Cup of Women's Basketball Team this year. He won 1 championship and 2 Asian Cups in the past three sessions. In the last event, Han Xu led the team to end the 5 consecutive championships of the Japanese women's basketball team, and was also awarded the Asian Cup MVP and selected for the best team.

Unexpectedly, the Chinese women's basketball team will fall to the semi-finals and lose at home, which is undoubtedly an unsatisfactory result. Although Han Xu contributed 18+7+7 data, his 7-of-19 shots were less than 50%. With an absolute advantage in height, Han Xu's excessive shooting was not tough enough, and he failed to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the team's core to lead the team to win again.

Han Xu shed tears in the press conference summarized the failure in the semi-finals and pointed out that the two aspects were not done well enough. After the game, Han Xu also shed tears in the press conference. She first summarized the failure in the semi-finals: "First of all, everyone is playing in this game today, and the entire team really wants to win this game. Although this game failed, we felt uncomfortable. Through summary, we did not do enough in defensive execution, especially the three-point limit on them, including their rebounding (35-34 rebounds only win 1). These two events are very fatal. In fact, we have to play a small and quick-witted team like Japan. We have to play a success rate. With the premise of success rate, we can limit their quick counterattack and three-pointers, but in the The defense is not done well. "

"Although we are very depressed, we will never give up. There is another game next (the third place battle against the Korean women's basketball team), and we will continue to fight every ball with all our might. After we go back, we will summarize it carefully, train with a more full spirit, improve ourselves, and improve the entire team. I believe that through this game, we will summarize some failed experiences, which will prompt the entire team to slowly integrate better. "

Han Xu responded that he has not played overseas for two years because of the national team and the injury.

Han Xu has been staying at home to play in the past two years after returning from the New York Liberty, and she also responded whether she would return to play overseas. In response, Han Xu said: "First of all, I am very grateful for this question, which is also a question I have always wanted to answer. This question is a big bottleneck or ups and downs on my growth path. My choice in the past two years has not participated in the overseas league. The first is to better prepare for the 2024 Paris Olympics. After training with you for a long time, participate in 8 warm-up matches, and then participate in the main competition. During this period, I think that although I gave up the opportunity to overseas leagues, I hope to be more in tune with the teammates of the national team to better help the team in the Paris Olympics (it was just a regretful stop in the group stage at the Paris Olympics) , or get better results in the next game. "

"Including this year, I also want to stay in China voluntarily to play in the Asian Cup, and adjust my physical condition. Last year, I was injured in my waist and a lot of public opinion attacked me, but I think I am going to walk my path steadily now. Although I lost today, it doesn't matter. I think this is a good lesson of failure. If there is an opportunity for overseas leagues, I will do my best to strive for it."

Han Xu should follow Li Yueru and Yang Hansen and go to overseas leagues to improve himself in the future.

With Li Yueru's continuous play in the WNBA and Turkish Premier League, giving up the opportunity to pay high in the domestic WCBA, and Yang Hansen was selected by the Trail Blazers in the 16th pick in the first round this summer, and will also be in the NBA, Han Xu should undoubtedly keep up with Li Yueru and Yang Hansen's footsteps and play in overseas leagues again to improve himself.

As for Yang Hansen, he is likely to return to the Chinese men's basketball national team to prepare for the men's basketball Asian Cup in August. Many voices from the outside world believe that Yang Hansen should not come back, and he should continue to stay in the United States to train and improve himself, especially to strive to integrate into the team as soon as possible. However, in the case of Zhou Qi's injury, the Chinese men's basketball team also needs Yang Hansen very much, so whether he should return is actually huge controversy, and ultimately depends on Yang Hansen's own choice.
