On August 4, Beijing time, the third round of the women's basketball group stage of the 2024 Paris Olympics continued. The Chinese women's basketball team has 1 win and 2 losses in the group stage, with a total net difference of -1, and the third place in the group, and it is necessary to compete for the third place in the best two groups to advance to the quarterfinals. However, it backfired, the runner-up of the new World Cup and the champion of the Asian Cup, the Chinese women's basketball team is still looking up to people to see people's faces in order to advance to the quarterfinals!
Belgium vs. Japan is a key match for the Chinese women's basketball team:
Japan scored only 7 points in the first quarter, scored no points in the opening 6 minutes of the second half, and made 9 of 37 three-pointers in the game, and missed various strong shots! Compared with the Chinese women's basketball team, the Japan team only made 14 mistakes in the whole game, indicating that Belgium's defense did not give them enough pressure, which is also related to the situation of the two teams, Belgium needs to brush points, they have to play fast and steady, so they are based on the inside line, and it is best to execute the game quickly and quickly! Japan finished bottom of the group, with a 10-point difference in total net scores, and their strength was also weak, so they could only fight for three points! But it's puzzling to make a mistake on the serve. In the end, Belgium won 85-58, and the Japan team lost by 27 points, just filling the hole that Belgium was dug by the United States Germany, with a total net score of 0, surpassing China by 1 point, it is such a coincidence! Temporarily moved up to 7th place, and the qualification has been confirmed!
Well-known commentator Su Qun commented: "No more, no less, Belgium won the Japan women's basketball team by 27 points. Not only to squeeze you out, but also to humiliate you. In these two Olympic Games, there are many opportunities to score more than small points, and the last game should be played together. Speaking of which, leave your fate to others, Japan in the afternoon, France in the evening, you can't blame others, you can only blame yourself for not arguing. ”
The difference of 1 point highlights the importance of the Chinese women's basketball team against Puerto Rico in the last moment, and the timeout signaled by Li Yueru was ignored by Zheng Wei! I thought the 22-point victory was already secure. Although calling a timeout may not be useful, it would be a dereliction of duty not to call a timeout, and the purpose of that game was to score points by all means! Even if a timeout was called at the last minute, it was scored. But because the Japan team lost 29 points today, the Chinese women's basketball team still fell to 8th, which seemed futile. But at least I tried hard and did everything I could! However, the Chinese women's basketball team always thinks that they have done their best, but in fact, if they are finally out, this point will be infinitely magnified, Li Meng said, "We looked a little sluggish before, and even disappointed the outside world, but we have done our best at this stage." Maybe it's because the outside world expects a lot of from each of us and the collective, so everyone has left a gap, but everyone in the team has done their best", and it will also become pale and weak. It's all the year of playing, Su Qun still needs to be able to maintain the peak of more than 10 after the Women's Basketball World Cup, how long is it, what is the reason?
Hand of fate, now it's Nigeria's turn against Canada:
First half: Canada 41-35 Nigeria
Alexander had 10 points and five rebounds, Carlton had 10 points, Colley had 12 points, and Edwards had three points, three rebounds and two assists
Karui had 11 points, Barrogan 11 points, Akpana 6 points and 5 rebounds, Moussa 5 points and Amkamara 4 points
Full game: Canada 70-79 Nigeria
Achoenwa had five points, Alexander 12 points and seven rebounds, Carlton 12 points, Colley 17 points and Edwards five points
Amkamara 12 points, Barrogan 14 points, Kalu 21 points, Akpana 8 points, Okonkovo 8 points, Moussa 7 points
Nigeria won, it doesn't matter how many wins or how few wins, but the total net win is +1, which is a coincidence (equal difference series). With two wins and one loss, it has already led the Chinese women's basketball team and is sure to advance! As for Australia against France, Australia won and the Chinese women's basketball team was out, and Australia lost the total net score less than the Chinese women's basketball team, and the Chinese women's basketball team locked in 8th. Australia winning is a small probability event, and France will compete for the top 2 to avoid United States. There is also another possibility, United States lost to Germany, but it has nothing to do with the Chinese women's basketball team, as for who to draw against, take a step to see one step at a time.
