Tom Mach- the coach of China Women’s Basketball Team

Tom Mach said: “I was little disappointed about the team members’ behaviors in the first half. Due to their dauntless attitude, they made many technical errors. But many good shots were gained in the second half after adjusting their attitudes. That was good for them.”

“We don’t care who are our opponents, because we placed all attention on ourselves.” said Mach, “early offense which applied in this game is the trend suitable for the international development. Compared with former players, there were not big differences among the team members. All of them got to know each other during the daily training courses and could find some solutions to solve the problems. But different opponents need to fight with different strategies. So we need to summarize the experience after every game and applied the experience to daily trainings, then find more solutions accordingly.”

Concerned for his impression about Chenzhou city, Mach said, Chenzhou was a beautiful and modern city. On learning that Chenzhou city was on the process of establishment of sports city, Mach recommended that first issue for the establishment work should be infrastructure construction to ensure children to play games in the courts. The second issue was infighting should be rooted on the children’s minds when they play games, not just for fun.
