On September 30, Beijing time, the semi-final of the Women's Basketball World Cup officially started, and the first to play was the United States and Canada. The two teams were excellent in the group stage, and they thought that the game would be more intense, but there was a one-sided situation on the court at the beginning, and the United States established a 27-7 lead in a single quarter, and then gradually widened the point difference. In the end, the United States beat Canada 83-43 to advance to the final.
Canada is ranked fourth in the latest world rankings, and its strength is still very good. In the group stage, he showed good form, with a record of 4 wins and 1 loss, only to lose 72-75 to Australia. In the 1/4 finals, Canada also took Puerto Rico lightly, expecting them to create some threat to the US women's basketball team, thinking that the game would be more intense, but the result was still somewhat disappointing.
At the beginning of the game, the Canadian team was not in good shape, only 7 points in a single quarter, and the United States blasted 27 points, and after a quarter, it was 20 points behind, and the suspense was lost. As soon as it came up, it was 20 points behind the United States, how to play this? In the ensuing game, the United States firmly occupied the initiative on the court, and the point difference gradually widened, leading by 24 points at halftime. In the second half, Canada collapsed again, scoring only 8 points in a single quarter, and trailing by 38 points after the third quarter, which no one expected, and there was a one-sided situation in the semifinals. In the last quarter, the United States also relaxed, but in the end it still got a 40-point victory.
As Canada, it was also a shame to lose 40 points in the semi-finals, and after losing the game, they had to compete for the third place. In this game, the whole Canadian team was in a very bad state, all 12 people played, but none of them scored in double figures, and the highest score was Amisil on the bench, which was only 8 points. With only 43 points in the game, shooting just 21.9 percent from the field and 15.4 percent from three-point range, I didn't expect the World Cup to be in the crucial semifinals so far.
