It s decided! Gong Luming refuses to resign. The women s basketball team is about to start the World Cup qualifiers training camp. The list may change significantly

The women's basketball national players who have entered the offseason still have considerable game tasks during the offseason. On August 10, the women's basketball team group stage of the 2025 National Games will start soon. At this National Games, most national women's basketball players will represent various teams.

Especially the highly-anticipated Sichuan Women's Basketball Team not only gathered national players such as Han Xu, Wang Siyu, and Li Meng. Liu Yutong, Tang Ziting and others who led the Chinese women's basketball team to win the championship in the World Day Luck were summoned to the army. In addition, there is also China's "female Curry", and Mr. Zhang Jingyi is also on the Sichuan National Games women's basketball roster.

After the National Games, the Chinese women's basketball team will start a new round of training, aiming to prepare for the Women's Basketball World Cup qualifiers held in March 2026.

If the Asian Cup was a loss due to Gong Luming not coaching on the front line for too long. So, the Women's Basketball World Cup qualifiers are Gong Luming's proof that he can bring the Women's Basketball Team into the World Cup main competition and get a direct chance to the Olympics in the World Cup. Because the results of the Women's Basketball World Cup are related to whether the Women's Basketball Team can participate in the 2028 World Los Angeles Olympics.

And it is almost certain that Gong Luming will not resign and will not be fired by the Basketball Association! He will coach until at least the end of the Women's Basketball World Cup. And if the women's basketball team can go directly to the Los Angeles Olympics through the World Cup, then Gong Luming will most likely coach the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.

The training list for this World Cup qualifier may change significantly.

First of all, Huang Sijing will definitely not participate in the training camp for this World Cup qualifier, because after the Asian Cup, Huang Sijing publicly stated that this is likely to be her last year with the national team.

Secondly, although Wang Siyu did not clearly express that she would also represent the Chinese women's basketball team in the World Cup qualifiers, various signs indicate that Wang Siyu also has the possibility of withdrawing.

There is no doubt that if Huang Sijing is missing from the forward position, Li Meng is the biggest candidate. As the famous commentator Yang Yi said, Li Meng is the same style as the Japanese female basketball player Tian Zhong, and is more in line with modern basketball.

And whether Liu Yutong, Tang Ziting, Tian Yuanyuan, Zhang Jingyi and others who are more concerned about can be included in the training list may be determined by the performance of this National Games.

But we don’t have to have too much hope, because Liu Yutong hasn’t played in the professional league for a long time. Like this World League Championship, it is actually the champion of an amateur competition, which may not impress Gong Luming. Unless you still have outstanding performance when playing with professional players in this National Games.

And Li Yuan will still be a member of the training list of this World Cup qualifiers. But given the performance in the Asian Cup, Li Yuan may lose his starting position.

It is worth mentioning that Zhang Ziyu will not play basketball games in the adult group because of the reason for protecting Zhang Ziyu.

Because the World Cup qualifiers are related to the 2026 World Cup main competition, and directly to the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. Li Yueru should be very likely to appear in the training list for this World Cup qualifier!
