On February 11, Beijing time, the Women's Basketball World Cup Qualifier, the Chinese women's basketball team ushered in the second challenge of the Mali women's basketball team. In the first half of this game, the two teams played very stiffly, the Mali women's basketball team's defense was relatively strong, and the Chinese women's basketball team did not get too many opportunities to easily score, but we still relied on the advantage of the inside line to take a 9-point lead in the first half of the game. In the third quarter of the game, the Chinese women's basketball team began to exert force, continuously seized the opponent's mistakes to complete the conversion attack, the single quarter team blasted out a 27-13 attack, net victory over the Mali women's basketball team by 14 points, the end of the third quarter, the Chinese women's basketball team took a 23-point lead. In the final quarter of the game, the Chinese women's basketball team once again appeared to have a continuous shooting failure, only 2 points in the first 5 minutes, but in the end, the Chinese women's basketball team still relied on the lead established in the first three quarters, and they successfully defeated the Mali women's basketball team 84-64 and won two consecutive victories in the qualifying round.
In this game, Li Yueru of the Chinese women's basketball team played well, she got 21 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks in the whole game, and like the previous game, she was the team's most stable offensive strength, and her efficiency on the inside was very high. Huang Sijing contributed 11 points, 14 rebounds and 8 assists to the quasi-triple-double data, and Li Meng got 15 points and 6 assists. These three players have become the key to the victory of the Chinese women's basketball team, and their performance is very good.
This game against the Mali women's basketball team, the challenge for the Chinese women's basketball team is not very big, the opponent's strength is weak, not as good as us in the implementation of tactics, and we have an absolute advantage in the inner line, in the conversion of attack also has a good play, in the first three quarters of the game, the Chinese women's basketball team scored a big lead.
However, in the last quarter, the Chinese women's basketball team once again had the same old problem, they could not complete the score for a long time, in the first 5 minutes, the Chinese women's basketball team only got 2 points. This exposed the stability of the Chinese women's basketball team in the game. In fact, the biggest problem of this Chinese women's basketball team is here, every time in the first three quarters of the good performance, they will not play in the last quarter, continuous shooting is not hit, mistakes are also increased, in the face of the opponent's counterattack, the Chinese women's basketball team does not have any solution.
At the time of the Tokyo Olympic Games, the Chinese women's basketball team had such a situation, and in the previous Asian Cup and the first qualifying match of the World Cup, the performance of the Chinese women's basketball team in the last quarter was not ideal, which was the most important problem for the team to solve.
After defeating the Mali women's basketball team, the next opponent of the Chinese women's basketball team will be the French women's basketball team, the strength of the French women's basketball team is very strong, and the Chinese women's basketball team wants to beat them in the game, it is more difficult. For the Chinese women's basketball team, the French women's basketball team is a strong opponent, which is also a difficult problem, if the Chinese women's basketball team can not solve the downturn in the last quarter, then it is very difficult to beat the French women's basketball team. Of course, if the Chinese women's basketball team can play a stable role throughout the game and play its own characteristics at both ends of the attack and defense, then there is also hope for three consecutive wins in the World Cup qualifiers.
