As the Lunar New Year approaches and people begin to prepare for the holidays, the Chinese women’s basketball team is regrouping in Xi’an for a very important series of games. The team, which had no rest during the holiday season, is gearing up for the Paris Olympic Qualifying Tournament.
On February 7, the Chinese Basketball Association officially released the list of 12 players for the Chinese Women’s Basketball Team’s Paris Olympic Qualifying Tournament. The team will be led by Han Xu and Li Meng, with Henan girl Zhang Ru on the list, as well as Li Yueru, Huang Sijing, and Wu Tongtong.

The Paris Olympic Women’s Basketball Qualifying Tournament will be held in Xi’an from February 8th to 11th.
