The French women's basketball team led the Chinese team 82-50 in the Olympic qualifying round G2, and the biggest difference between the two teams was 43 points.
Back in the Women's Basketball World Cup final in Sydney two years ago, China lost to the United States 61-83 in that game, which was only a loss of 22 points, a loss of 22 points for the world's No. 1, and a 32-point loss for the world's No. 7.
Media person Mai Suifeng summarized three reasons: 1. The women's basketball team has achieved great results in international competitions in the past two years and has become the object of study by various teams.
2. The Chinese women's basketball team has not played against European and American teams for a long time, the WCBA confrontation is insufficient, and the first half was stunned by the high-intensity confrontation, so the domestic Han Xu did not play as well as Li Yueru in the overseas league;
3. The women's basketball team puts too much pressure on themselves, because the expectations of the outside world are too high, and the first day of the new year plays with huge pressure to qualify, France has no pressure because it is the host, and their high three-point shooting rate is a sign of relaxation.
Media director I also think that the French team's aggressive defense in the first half made the Chinese team too uncomfortable, and the referee ignored those illegal defensive actions.
Then the fans began to ridicule: "Du Feng won't be the consultant of the French women's basketball team, right?", "Do people still think that Du Feng's team can't play international games?", "Du Feng's influence has spread to France? France has come to steal Du Feng." ”
The tragic 32-point rout made Zheng Wei gloomy, after all, the Chinese team must win the next game against Puerto Rico to book a ticket to the Paris Olympics.
