Regarding the goal of this Olympics, coach Xu Limin said that he will strive to qualify for the group, "the team must win to move forward."
[Contemporary] Chinese Women’s Basketball Team Captain Shao Ting: For us now, it is to stay healthy, focus on the game, and adjust our mentality. I think we are still a young team after all. There are very few people participating in the Olympics, with only three players. So I hope every team member will cherish such an opportunity to exercise and enjoy the Olympics. I think we have to play one game and make progress. After all, it is very important for each of us.
[Contemporary] Chinese women's basketball coach Xu Limin: This tournament makes us have to win to move forward, and we can't win less.
