Australia 71-54 Japan
Japan this is a battle of honor, after all, with a losing streak out is still a bit embarrassing, but Australia and several other European and American strong teams, to maintain a high degree of aggression, especially for the ball holder's defense, the action is very large, but the effect is obvious, directly affected Japan's shooting rate, the entire first half, Japan can still rely on Australia's low shooting rate to bite the score, but in the second half, with the increase in physical consumption, Japan is difficult to get points in sports warfare, as we all know that Japan's strongest weapon is counterattack and three points, But the backcourt rebounds can't be protected, and the outside line is still covered by the opponent, and it can't play the advantage at all.
In fact, there is still a little host bonus on the Australian side, there are some fouls in the game that should be blown, and even a violation is escaped, Wallace's evil offender should also be upgraded, but the key to winning the ball is that the team played a whole, the inside line can end and pull out to shoot, and even hold the ball to attack, the outside line in addition to the defense in place, breakthrough and far throw also find confidence, especially the old core Whitcomb, the whole field scored 15 points, can be described as bottoming out, and the inside line Tolo got 14 points, Australia has 20 more rebounds than Japan, and it is more accurate to shoot three points than Japan, and it is difficult not to win.

The two teams fought a whole hand-to-hand fight, and finally ended the suspense by a magical three-point fight, from the first quarter, France's embarrassing slow pace and projection ability, let them fall into passivity, before France was able to use the inside advantage to fight for the second offensive opportunity, but against the tall Serbia, but was limited by the opponent, it can be said that it is the best way of playing in France to defeat France, Serbian veteran Kragisnik took the injury to the battle, became the pillar of Serbia's inner line, the whole game fought for 12 points and 13 rebounds, under her leadership Serbia put together 44 rebounds, 19 more than France.
However, Serbia also has its own problems, the team has too many mistakes in the whole game, and France is good at defending the back, gradually recovering the shooting hand in the last quarter, narrowing the point difference from double digits to two points all the way, looking like it is about to be reversed, and France did force Kadu to shoot three points at the last moment, resulting in an unexpected hit, so that France, which had already reversed the situation, lost everything, Anderson scored 18 points, Nokich 17 points, and Chatterlo 16 points.
