In the first semi-final of the Women's Basketball World Cup, Canada played against the United States, and in the end, Canada lost badly, suffering a 40-point defeat at 43-83, of which: Canada scored 7 points in the first quarter, 8 points in the third quarter, and the team's three-pointers were only 4 of 26.
In the match with Serbia, the United States played steadily, easily defeated Serbia by 33 points, and broke into the semifinals, which is no surprise, the United States team has a luxurious lineup, all positions are the world's top players, and the group stage has won all five games, including the powerful Chinese team and Belgium. Canada ranked 4th in the world, 4 wins and 1 loss in the group stage, and the quarter-final faced the average Puerto Rican team, and Canada won it smoothly.
Although the Canadian team is not bad, ranked 4th in the world, but their offensive continuity is not as good as the American team, for example, in the second half of the game against Puerto Rico, the Canadian team's attack is actually not good, which is one of the gaps with the American team. Overall, the stronger U.S. team has little problem advancing to the finals.
In the first quarter, Canada played relatively passively, scoring only 7 points in a single quarter, while the United States team scored 27 points! In the second quarter, Canada's offensive efficiency improved slightly, but it still lost 4 points in this quarter, and Canada trailed by 24 points in the half. In the third quarter, Canada scored just eight points in a single quarter and lost another 14 points, trailing by 38 points in the third quarter. In the fourth quarter, the Canadian team had no hope of chasing points and suffered a fiasco.
And then, the Chinese team will play and will compete with the host Australian team for another final ticket, come on, the Chinese team.
