On August 3, Beijing time, the basketball tournament of the 2024 Paris Olympics continued, and the Chinese basketball under Yao Ming was fighting on three fronts, but they were all struggling and on the verge of going out, even if it was the World Cup runner-up "Chinese Women's Basketball", the bronze medal of the Tokyo Olympics "Chinese Three-person Women's Basketball", and once topped the world's No. 1 "Chinese Three-person Men's Basketball Team".
【Women's Basketball】
The Chinese women's basketball team plays the role of three world-class stars, except for Li Yueru, the other two do not reflect their strength and fame at all in this Olympic Games! Of course, team games are not just for one or two people, the coach's strategy and the player's execution are indispensable! And this, the Chinese women's basketball team does not have it! It is unimaginable that after winning the runner-up in the World Cup, the famous basketball commentator Su Qun predicted that the Chinese women's basketball team would start at least ten years of peak! I didn't expect the women's basketball team to enter a recession period so quickly and so early! He didn't think that Yao Ming probably couldn't think of it, as the president of the basketball association, she has always been the leader of the women's basketball team, everything is personally escorted, pay absolutely a lot, see that there will be hard work without credit, can the Chinese women's basketball team beat Puerto Rico in a big battle, if the loss will be the bottom of the group, this is unacceptable, according to basketball reporter Song Xiang reported that "the goal set by the authorities is to advance to the semifinals", in case of the worst result, will anyone come out to be responsible afterwards?
At present, the Chinese women's basketball team has lost all 2 games, temporarily at the bottom of the group, ranking 9th among the 12 teams with -23, and the third place in the two best groups is also very unfavorable.
3x3 Basketball Format: Group Stage, Play-off and Knockout Round, with the top two teams advancing directly to the semi-finals after a single round-robin match between the eight teams, and the third to sixth place teams going through the play-offs to determine the remaining two semi-finals.

Chinese women's basketball against Azerbaijan
Just 2 minutes into the game, the Chinese team took the initiative 6-3. After that, the Chinese team repeatedly blossomed in offense, first Chen Mingling hit 2 points from the outside, and then Zhang Zhiting successfully scored 1+1. However, Azerbaijan relied on the excellent performance of No. 15 Tiffany · Hayes, and the difference between the two sides was not widened. In the final moments of the game, the Chinese team maintained the lead by four points, and it looked like the game would end in their victory. But Azerbaijan never gave up, they started to run aggressively and took advantage of the opportunity to hit a 2-point by Alessandra · Molenhauer, and then Hayes almost equalized the score in the final moments.
The two sides go into overtime, and according to 3x3 rules, whoever scores 2 points first wins. Just 9 seconds into overtime, it was Molenhauer again, and although the Chinese team's close defense was already very tight, she still hit a strong shot to complete the stunner.
The reversed game against Azerbaijan once again reflects the lack of tactical literacy in Chinese basketball, and some common-sense coping strategies are always implemented absurdly, which is incredible! There was so much lead in this game, and the opponent was full of fouls, and he didn't make fouls on the inside. In addition, with eight seconds left, a two-point lead, no outside line to stare at the inside line, and no fouls!
The Chinese team swallowed the bitter fruit of defeat again, with 2 wins and 4 losses in 6 games, and fell to seventh place in the ranking and entered the elimination zone.
【Three-person Men's Basketball】
United States were defeated 19-21 by defending champions Latvia. In the absence of Fredette for the United States team, Canning Barry scored 10 points and 3 rebounds, tied with Latvia's Miyes for the highest score. Since the start of the tournament, the United States three-man men's basketball team has won 0-4 and is at the bottom of the group (8th), and the team that finished second in last year's World Cup is currently in a precarious situation to qualify. However, they beat the hosts 21-19 in the fifth game to end a four-game losing streak. In the sixth game against China, he won 21-17, ushered in two consecutive wins, and rose to 5th. The Chinese three-man men's basketball team has lost 1-5 since the start of the tournament, suffering five consecutive defeats, only the first game 21-15 Serbia! Ranked 8th at the bottom!
All three teams will be eliminated from the group with their current rankings and will not qualify for the knockout round! With such three balls, and even in the team ball competition, only the Chinese women's volleyball team is left! At this moment, Yao Ming must be very angry and have a headache!
