On the afternoon of June 30, Beijing time, in the semifinals qualifying match of the Women's Basketball Asian Cup, the third South Korean team in Group A faced the second Australian team in Group B. The winner will face the first team of China in Group A in the semifinals. As a result, after four quarters, Australia defeated South Korea 91-64. In this way, Australia will play against the Chinese women's basketball team in the semifinals.
In this game, the Australian team directly crushed the South Korean team, and the scores in the fourth quarter were 31-16, 21-17, 19-21, 20-10 (Australia in front). Australia's four players scored double-doubles, shooting 55 percent from the field, 44 percent from three-point range and grabbing 48 rebounds. The Big Three of McGan + Sherph + Flynn combined to score 41 points. They still use local players as their team and do not call up players to the United States.
In this match, Australia blossomed inside and out, showing strong attacking power, winning South Korea by nearly 30 points, while China trailed behind their opponents at half time in the match against South Korea, and finally won after extra time. Although this comparison cannot be made, it is also a fact that the Chinese team is not in good shape this Asian Cup. In particular, the problem of slow heating in the game is more prominent. There is still a chance to win back against the weak team, if you encounter a strong team like Australia, plus the other party is playing at home, I am afraid it is really difficult to recover the points.
Of course, as a Chinese fan, I really hope that the Chinese women's basketball team can win the championship, but at least cross the Australian barrier first. But, at least for now, this level is really difficult. I hope that the Chinese women's basketball team will slap my face with realistic performance.
