In the early morning of Beijing time, the women's basketball world preliminary round exposed a super big cold, the Olympic third place France team was reversed by the African powerhouse Nigeria, and finally lost by 65-67, 2 points, temporarily failed to lock the World Cup qualification. Considering that the Chinese team will face france in the final battle, in order to ensure that it can qualify for the World Cup, the French team is bound to strive to win, and although the Chinese team has locked in a seat, it is also careless.
In fact, in terms of strength alone, the French team is significantly stronger than Nigeria, the former was the third place winner of last year's Tokyo Olympic Games, ranking 5th in the world, while Nigeria is 15th in the world. Nigeria once trailed by as much as 27 points against the Chinese team in the last game, and although the Chinese team deliberately released water in the late quarter, they still lost a full 14 points.
In this battle with france, Nigeria started the game like the Chinese team, and the first quarter was limited to death, and the single quarter was 11-28, a big score behind. After entering the second quarter of the game, Nigeria began to play, recovering 6 points in the single quarter, and playing a small climax of 21-14 in the third quarter, and recovering 7 points in the single quarter.
In the last quarter of the game, although the French team still held a 4-point lead, but in the face of the gradual momentum of Nigeria, they also suddenly lost their rhythm, and the offensive and defensive ends were completely led by the opponent's nose. And Nigeria also seized the opportunity to directly overtake the score at the time of complete chaos at the end of the quarter, and finally reversed successfully, staged a 20-point reversal.
You know, the French team was the third runner-up in last year's Olympic Games, and it is also the number one opponent of the Chinese team in this World Preliminary Tournament, and before the group stage, the Chinese team has always regarded them as hypothetical opponents. But now, they can't even play with African teams? However, here we still have to remind the Chinese team that although the French team lost the game, the girls of the women's basketball team should not be paralyzed. After all, there are no weak brigades in Europe.
