In the game where the Chinese women's basketball team beat South Korea with 22 points, Director Gong made Zhang Ziyu and Han Xu's double towers appear together in the second half. Two 2-meter-long men were on the court, and the game instantly turned into "Gliver accidentally broke into the villain country." The double towers of Han Xu and Zhang Ziyu perfectly interpret the reason why basketball is called "giant sports". When you have absolute height, the whole world really wants to make way for you.

As the saying goes: "The flowing double towers, the iron-killing Han Xu". The Chinese women's basketball team has always played the double tower tactic in recent years, but Han Xu is always the one who passes the ball and cruisses on the outside. Whether her partner is Li Yueru or Zhang Ziyu, Han Xu was having a lot of fun. As long as he was asked to play No. 4, she would be a big girl who would not have any worries.

Unlike the Mavericks, who was waiting for his center partner at the age of 32, Han Xu had a center partner at the age of 26. When Han Xu and another big guy appeared together, he inevitably felt like he was wasting his natural resources. That is, it seems like a waste not to fight in the inside line without having to fight with Han Xu, but those who are really familiar with Han Xu know that the number 4 position is her destination.

First of all, Han Xu, who is 211 cm tall, weighs less than 100 kilograms. Too light weight determines that Han Xu cannot fight with European and American inside alone. This is true. When Han Xu guards the inside alone, his opponent often deliberately attacks her. Although Han Xu has the advantages of height and wingspan, he is subject to insufficient confrontation. It is often difficult for her to effectively interfere with the impact of the forward and defenders.

If you want to take advantage of Han Xu's height and wingspan, the best way is to prevent her from facing the impact of her hands. Let her do the work of cruising and repairing defense, which can maximize her strengths.

The second is that Han Xu has a three-point shooting. In the modern basketball system, there are three-point shootings in the interior that can open up attack space for teammates, and it also lays the foundation for the double tower tactics. Because Han Xu can shoot three-pointers, the coach can put another big man on the court, which not only increases the inside advantage of the women's basketball team, but also enriches the playing and tactical routines. When playing against teams that play single towers, we have one more big man inside, and it can better cover up our weaknesses in the scoring ability of the forward line.

Although modern basketball is very popular, Chinese women's basketball team wants to have their own advantages in the face of European and American women's basketball team, so they cannot blindly copy other people's play. The double tower tactics seem to be old but can maximize the advantages of women's basketball team. This may be the biggest advantage that Han Xu has brought to the women's basketball team when playing No. 4. This shows that letting Han Xu play 4 is not only her own demand, but also the key to determining how far the Chinese women's basketball team can go.
