On February 11, Beijing time, the 2024 Women's Basketball Olympic Qualifying Tournament ended the second round of each group, and some groups have been clear, and three seats have been produced, because four teams compete for three places, but some teams have formed a scuffle, and there is no team in Group D that can advance in advance, and all four teams need to compete through the final round.
Group A standings
France after the big victory over China, won two consecutive victories, in the first place in the group, in fact, the ranking has no meaning for them, as the host, they do not participate in the automatic access to a seat, but also sent the strongest team to participate, maybe I want to train the team, but also to the Chinese women's basketball team to bring food for thought, although won the World Championships runner-up, many people praise the head coach Zheng Wei, in fact, the real hero of the women's basketball team is the former head coach Xu Limin.
Because Zheng Wei took over less than a year at that time, the players were all led by Xu Limin, the Chinese women's basketball team is far from the point of being a world powerhouse, and it cannot win the championship in Asia, so it cannot be optimistic.
They are currently second in the group, and a win over Puerto Rico in the last game is not a big problem, thanks to Puerto Rico, who won against New Zealand to finish third in the group and qualify with China, which also made the final round of matches much easier.
Entering the Olympics again, many team members shed tears on the spot, and Brianna, a Puerto Rican player who plays for the Tianjin women's basketball team, talked about the reason why everyone was so emotional in the mixed mining area.
The two people with the biggest decline in the Chinese women's basketball team are Li Yueru and Huang Sijing, their reaction speed and foot speed are much slower than in 2022, Huang Sijing's defense is 0, and Li Yueru is completely chased and beaten. When Han Xu was there, the defense was fine, but Li Yueru collapsed as soon as he got on. This is most likely related to the fact that the two people were seriously injured in the round of martial arts matches in the finals of the WCBA finals last year.
Group B standings
The United States won two consecutive victories, qualified ahead of schedule, and also ranked first, narrowly won in the first round, won by 54 points in the second round, and the world No. 1 gradually regained its form, and the game with Nigeria, a single quarter of 32-7, the shooting rate was very high 51%, and the three-point shooting rate was still 48%, flowering inside and outside, showing the level of the world's No. 1.
The second place in the group is Belgium, which lost to the United States by 2 points in the first round, and the level can be seen to improve quickly, beating Senegal 97-66 in the second round, and is currently 1-1, Nigeria is third, also 1-1, and the bottom is Senegal, and in the last round against the United States, there is no hope at all.
Group C standings
Australia won two consecutive victories, the first group advanced ahead of schedule, Serbia defeated Brazil 72-65 in the second round, second in the group, currently 1-1, the first round loss to Germany is not very deserved, and Germany is third in the group, also 1-1, the world champion Brazil suffered two consecutive defeats at the bottom, and the qualifying situation is very serious.
In the last round, Serbia won or did not lose too many points to Australia, but also to ensure the promotion, Brazil will inevitably be out of the tournament if it loses, and it is better to win Germany by a large score, Germany was originally the weakest in this group and ranked the lowest, but after the upset win against Serbia in the first round, the entire qualifying situation has changed.
Group D standings
The competition in this group is the fiercest, the four teams are relatively strong, after two rounds, the four teams are 1 win and 1 loss, making the last time to be their life and death battle, currently a small score, the first Canada, the second Spain, the third Hungary, Japan at the bottom.
Hungary and Group C of Germany, the success of the disruption, both strength and world ranking are the last, that is, in the second round of the victory against Japan, no one believes that Japan will lose to Hungary after winning Spain in the first round, indicating that their confidence is not enough, the last game against the strong Canada, want to achieve difficult, win to advance, lose the probability of facing out, need to compare Hungary and Spain game situation.
