【Wonderful Review】
Unlike previous competitions, which focused on teamwork and cooperation, this game is more of an individual performance.
In the first quarter, both sides did not invest enough on the defensive end, and the offensive play was relatively simple, mainly singles. Canada were more determined in the mid-range and outside, with Alexander's quality crosshair, leading by 10 points 23-13 and going into a timeout.
The timeout came back and the two sides entered a rotational lineup, and the first quarter ended with Canada 34-25 United States, temporarily leading.
