In the group stage of the Paris Olympics, the Chinese women's basketball team suffered an unexpected consecutive defeat, and fans were very disappointed with their performance.
As the runner-up of the World Cup and the second ranked Chinese women's basketball team in the world, everyone's expectations for them are extremely high.
In the build-up to the competition, everyone thought they had enough quality to challenge for medals, but the first two games were disappointing.
The performance of the Chinese women's basketball team in the first two group games of the Paris Olympics really made people sweat.
As soon as the game began, fans found that the team's holes on the defensive end were frequently exposed.
When the opponent attacks, the defense of the Chinese women's basketball team always seems a little hesitant.
Opposing players could easily break through the defence and concede a lot of points.
And offensively, the team's performance was not as good as it could have been.
When breaking through, the attacking players are often disturbed by the opponent's defense, and the offensive rhythm is disrupted.
The offense under the basket is even more impossible, and the players seem to have no idea where to start when scrambling under the basket, and several good opportunities are wasted.
The players made a lot of mistakes, sometimes even in simple passes and catches.
These circumstances have been a huge disappointment for the fans, and the overall form of the team has been sluggish.
The poor performances in these games are not accidental.
In the warm-up game, the Chinese women's basketball team has already revealed some problems, but everyone originally thought that with the arrival of the official competition, these problems could be solved.
However, the reality is not as expected.
Instead of being effectively improved, the problem was magnified in key matches.
This has left everyone feeling a little frustrated and heightened concerns about the team's future performance.
However, just when everyone was discouraged about the prospects of the Chinese women's basketball team, good news came this morning.
In the match between the Spain women's basketball team and the Puerto Rico women's basketball team, the Spain women's basketball team narrowly won by one point in the final moment.
The result of this game seems to have injected a shot of strength into the Chinese women's basketball team and made everyone see hope again.
The victory of the Spain women's basketball team reserves the possibility of advancing to the knockout round for the Chinese women's basketball team, as long as the Chinese women's basketball team can beat the Puerto Rico women's basketball team in the next game and stretch the point difference to more than 20 points, they may counterattack at the last minute and advance to the quarterfinals.
The news sparked a spark of hope in the hearts of fans.
The challenges are still enormous, but this victory has at least brought a turnaround for the Chinese women's basketball team.
The players and the coaching staff know that the problems of the past must not be repeated.
Everyone knows in their hearts that this match is not only about the team's Olympic prospects, but also about their fate in this Olympic Games.
I hope the team can cheer up in the next games, adjust their condition, and seize this rare opportunity.
Fans will also continue to cheer for the Chinese women's basketball team, hoping that they can show their due level at critical moments.
In order to change the current unfavorable situation, the Chinese women's basketball team has decided to adjust the lineup.
Yang Liwei and Wang Siyu, two players who have underperformed, will be reactivated in the hope of solving the problem of the back line.
Zheng Wei also said that the team will go all out and strive to play at the best level in the next games.

Some fans have even begun to worry about how the Chinese women's basketball team will respond to Gibson's threat.
A netizen posted: In the face of players like Allison · Gibson, the defense of the Chinese women's basketball team must be targeted, especially to strengthen the defense of her breakthrough line and not let her easily enter the basket.
Another netizen suggested: Consider letting the Chinese women's basketball team's defensive players strengthen their close defense, limit her shooting space as much as possible, and reduce her play on the offensive end.
Fans are cheering for the Chinese women's basketball team, hoping that they can show their strength at critical moments, achieve counterattacks, and continue to fight at the Paris Olympics.
Everyone expects the Chinese women's basketball team to play a wonderful performance in the next games.
