Indonesian women’s national basketball team.
REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, HUANGZHOU — National Football Team Basket The women faced China twice in the event Asian Games in 2018 and 2022, but the second match in Hangzhou China shows the improvement in Indonesian women’s basketball.
“Asian Games Jakarta 2018 Indonesia 37-141 China, margin 104 points. Asian Games Hangzhou 2022 Indonesia 52-101 China, margin 49 points. That’s quite clear,” said the person in charge of the Women’s National Basketball Team Christoper Tanuwidjaja as reported by BetweenFriday (29/9/2023).
Indonesia played the second game of the Group A phase against China and lost 52-101. However, according to Christopher, Indonesia’s women’s basketball game has improved by providing resistance to China.
Indeed, Indonesia was far behind since the first quarter by only scoring 6 points, but in the second, third and fourth quarters, the Women’s National Team put up resistance by scoring points that continued to increase.
It should be noted that the Chinese Women’s Basketball Team is the second ranked team in the world after the United States. In fact, in the Chinese squad this time there are three Women’s NBA (WNBA) players, namely Li Meng from the Washington Mystics, Li Yue Ru from the Chicago Sky team, and Han Xu from the New York Liberty club. As for Indonesia, none of the players are actively developing their skills and mentality in regular competitions because the Indonesian Women’s League itself has not been held since it went on hiatus several years ago.
It could be said that the Chinese team at the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games was stronger than the 2018 Jakarta Asian Games because at that time there were no WNBA players. Christopher said he was proud of the performance of the Women’s National Basketball Team against China.
“I’m proud of our game tonight. Focus again on the next game against Mongolia,” he said.
He emphasized that Indonesia must win in the match which will be held on Sunday (1/10/2023) in order to have the opportunity to advance to the last eight through the best third ranked team.
