Tonight! CCTV5 broadcast the Chinese women's basketball team to the Olympic Games, Yao Ming supervised the battle, Li Yueru and others fought hard to qualify
At 17 o'clock on the evening of August 3 (tonight), Beijing time, in a matchup in the third (final round) of Group A of the women's basketball group stage of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, the Chinese women's national basketball team played against the Puerto Rico women's basketball team from North America.
The match will be broadcast on at least three major platforms. The sports channel of China Central Radio and Television (CCTV5) conducted a live broadcast on the TV side, and CCTV (CCTV Sports Client CCTV5APP) and Migu Video, which is most supported by Yao Ming, the helmsman of Chinese basketball, were broadcast live on the Internet and mobile phones.
The Chinese women's basketball team once fell into a trough, but with the efforts of meritorious coach Xu Limin, the Chinese women's basketball team returned to the ranks of the world's strongest teams. In the case of the Chinese men's basketball team suffering consecutive heavy defeats and missing the Tokyo Olympics and Paris Olympics in Japan, Yao Ming used the Chinese women's basketball team as a fig leaf to cover up her lack of work ability.
After Xu Limin's guidance left, assistant coach Zheng Wei took over the coaching whip, and Wang Fang, the mother of former Chinese women's basketball captain and CBA champion Liao basketball player Zhang Zhenlin, served as the team leader, and the two old teammates led the Chinese women's basketball team to win the women's basketball World Cup runner-up and the women's basketball Asian Cup championship, returning to the world's strong team, and also beating the Japan women's basketball team to regain its Asian hegemony.
Before leaving for Paris, Wang Fang, who could provide direct help to the team, left his post, and Yao Ming became the leader of the Chinese women's basketball team with a shy face. In the FIBA women's national basketball team standings, the Chinese women's basketball team ranks second. In the women's basketball power ranking of the Paris Olympics, the Chinese women's basketball team ranks fifth. However, under Yao Ming's personal supervision, the Chinese women's basketball team made consecutive mistakes in the on-the-spot command, and lost to the Spain women's basketball team 89-90 in overtime in the first round of the group stage.
In the second round of the group stage, the Chinese women's basketball team played against another European powerhouse, the Serbia women's basketball team, and the Chinese women's basketball team suffered a heavy defeat in the case that it was possible to seize the initiative to qualify if it lost less, losing to the opponent by 22 points 59-81! The score in the fourth quarter was (the Chinese women's basketball team ranked first): 17-23, 22-22, 11-17, 9-19.
In the first quarter of the game, the Chinese women's basketball team started slowly, and then Wang Siyu scored 7 points in a row to narrow the difference. In the second quarter, the two teams scored evenly. The Chinese women's basketball team started slowly in the third quarter, and Serbia took the opportunity to widen the difference by double digits, and although the Chinese women's basketball team struggled to catch up, it scored only 11 points in a single quarter. In the fourth quarter, the Chinese women's basketball team's offense was dumb, and the opponent was full of firepower, and the score difference was getting bigger and bigger.
Among the 12 players of the Chinese women's basketball team, Li Yuan and Sun Mengran only played 1 minute and 3 minutes, and Luo Xinqi and Yang Shuyu did not play.
The other eight major rotation players all scored, but only three scored in double figures. Wang Siyu got 11 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 block, Han Xu got 11 points and 7 rebounds, and Li Meng scored 10 points and 2 rebounds on 2-of-9 shooting.
In the last game, the WNBA Los Angeles Sparks player Li Yueru got 8 points, 11 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal, Huang Sijing got 6 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal, Yang Liwei got 5 points, 5 assists and 2 blocks, Zhang Ru got 4 points, 1 rebound and 1 steal, and Wu Tongtong got 4 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist.
Puerto Rico also started with two consecutive defeats, but both were small losses, losing 55-58 to Serbia in the first game and 62-63 to Spain in the second.
If the Chinese women's basketball team wants to retain its hope of advancing to the quarterfinals, it must win a big victory in this game, can it get its wish? Let's wait and see!
