美国女篮将于本周五在柏林开启FIBA女篮世界杯征程，力争实现连续第五次夺得金牌1。球队与中国队的首场小组赛也将在当地举行1。
由于刚刚在柏林完成首次全员集合，美国队面临训练时间有限的挑战1。12人阵容中有8名球员首次参加世界杯1，这也加大了快速磨合的难度。本届赛制的调整为球队提供了一定便利——参赛球队数量从12支增至16支1，相应地小组赛场次从每队5场减至3场1，这既压缩了练习机会，也为球队创造了更多休息空间。为支持国际比赛，WNBA联赛暂停了两周1。
对于有限的准备时间，后卫切尔西·格雷表示："虽然练习时间不多，但我们每天在WNBA相互侦察对手，所以我们很了解彼此的比赛风格"1。教练卡拉·劳森则强调需要"非常专注和锁定我们在一起的时间"，并加强战术部署1。
The United States women's basketball team will begin competition in the FIBA World Cup this Friday in Berlin, pursuing its fifth consecutive gold medal.1 The team faces a compressed preparation schedule, having completed its first full roster gathering only recently in the host city.1 Half of the 12-player roster will be competing in a World Cup for the first time.1
The tournament format has been restructured to include 16 teams rather than the 12 that participated in 2022, with group-stage matches reduced from five games to three per team.1 While this change limits practice opportunities for the Americans to solidify their chemistry, it also provides additional rest days during the competition. The WNBA regular season has paused for two weeks to accommodate international play.1
Coach Kara Lawson emphasized the challenge of the limited preparation window, stating the team must be "very focused and lock in the time we have together" to install extensive tactical information.1 Guard Chelsea Gray acknowledged the constraints but noted an advantage: "Although we don't have a lot of practice time, we scout each other every day in the WNBA, so we know each other's game pretty well."1 The Americans open their campaign against China on Friday.1
