The women's basketball World Cup group stage has ended, China ranked second in Group B, 1/4 final, China will face France, semi-final against the winner between Australia and Belgium.
The best result since the Chinese team participated in the World Championships/World Cup was the runner-up created in 1994, and the second best result was the third place won by participating in the World Championships for the first time in 1983.
The predecessor of the Women's Basketball World Cup was the Women's Basketball World Championship, and the Chinese team began to participate in 1983 and achieved the third place in that year. At the 1994 World Championships, the Chinese team achieved the second place, and the champion was Brazil. The 2018 Women's Basketball World Championship was renamed the Women's Basketball World Cup.
Past China Women's Basketball World Championship/World Cup Rankings:
1. 1983 World Championship 3rd Runner-up;
2. 5th place in the 1986 World Championships;
3. 9th place in the 1990 World Championships;
4. Runner-up of the 1994 World Championships;

9. 6th place in the 2014 World Championships;
10. 6th place in the 2018 World Cup.
With the current strength of the Chinese team, it is a bit difficult to reach the final, but there is a good chance, and the biggest obstacle is the Australian team from the host.
Round of 8 against France
The French team played an average role in this World Cup, qualifying for the fourth place in the group, with a record of 3-2, which can be said to be a disadvantage compared to the Chinese team.
France averaged 63.5 points per game and conceded 59.2 points, while China averaged 88.8 points and 57.4 points per game. The Chinese team won 157 points in five games and the French team won 22 points. The Chinese team is second only to the United States in terms of average points and net winning points per game, ranking second among all teams, conceding an average of 57.4 points per game, ranking first among all teams, which shows that we have a great advantage on both the offensive and defensive ends.
France women's basketball team in addition to 2 people playing in the WNBA, the remaining 10 are from the national league, the staffing is also relatively reasonable, the old players with new players, the French team was born in 2001 accounted for 3, the other two players are after 80, but only 33 years old, indicating that the World Cup France team is preparing for the 24th Paris Olympic Games.
From the analysis of data and strength, the French team will not pose too much threat to the Chinese team in this game, you can refer to the Chinese team against the Belgian team, the Chinese team has a winning rate of more than 80%, the net winning score is more than 20 points, of course, leaving aside the fourth quarter personnel rotation, the main force is replaced by the situation of the substitute.
The test of the semi-finals
If the Chinese team can beat the French team, the semi-final will face the winners of Australia and Belgium, and with the current strength of Belgium, it is more fierce and less lucky. Belgium's two defeats came from the United States and China, both teams were mainly high-intensity defense, and Australia's style of play was the same, and it was very difficult for Belgium to win. Even if Belgium wins, I believe that the Chinese women's basketball team can once again defeat Belgium and advance to the final.
I predict that the semi-final Chinese team will play against Australia. The Australian team will be the biggest obstacle for the Chinese team to reach the final.
Australia averaged 78 points per game, conceded 61.4 points, and a five-game net of 82 points.
Through the Australian women's basketball 12-man list, it is not difficult to find that 12 Australian players, 6 WNBA active players, 5 have played in the WNBA, and only one person has played in the national league for a long time. It can be said that Australia is fully prepared for this World Cup.
However, in terms of team age, the number of players over 30 years old in Australia reached 6, and the average age of the team reached 30.1 years. Among them, center Lauren Jackson was born in 1981 and is now 41 years old and still playing for the national team.
In the 12-man roster of the Chinese women's basketball team, only center Li Yueru and Han Xu play for the WNBA, and the rest are from the domestic league, but this year's players are skilled and physically better, the only deficiency is that the bench thickness is not enough, and it is exposed in the game against the United States. There are still certain disadvantages to physical confrontation, and against Australia, we must pay attention to tactical execution, and we cannot fight alone and mess up our own positions.
China's women's basketball players are mainly young, and they are currently playing in the year, and the oldest in the team is Jin Weina from the WCBA Jiangsu Women's Basketball Team, who is currently only 30 years old. The average age of the Chinese women's basketball team is 25.7 years old, which is the peak of the team, and this group of players can play until the end of the Paris Olympic cycle.
Off-field factors aside, the semi-final between China and Australia will be a strong confrontation and is bound to bring a wonderful game.
The biggest variable of the game
The game against Australia, the biggest variable is from the human factor, considering that this World Cup Australia is the home field, some factors on the field are bound to affect the situation on the field, the direction of the game, the psychology of the players, so Zheng Dao should give these players a good preventive injection in advance to prevent problems such as imbalance of mentality.
epilogue
The key to winning or losing the game, technical tactics are the first, as long as the teammates seriously play every ball, use the best state to meet the challenge, enjoy the game, do not consider too many other factors, I believe that with the current strength of the Chinese team, it is completely possible to compete with the Australian team and the United States team.
