In August, the Paris 2024 Olympic Games continued. In this Olympic Games, Chinese basketball can be said to have lost all the way. The men's basketball team failed to make it to the Olympics; In the 3x3 basketball event, the women's basketball team ranked sixth, and the men's basketball team ranked first from the bottom; And the genuine Chinese women's basketball team also played very badly in the group stage. In the first two games of the group stage, they lost to Spain and Serbia in succession, and although they won the third game against Puerto Rico by 22 points, the fate of qualifying can only be pinned on other opponents.
Yesterday, the Japan women's basketball team lost to the Belgium women's basketball team by 27 points, which just pressed the score line of the Chinese women's basketball team, so that the women's basketball team's qualification hope can only be left in the subsequent games between Australia and France. Many people questioned the Japan team's performance and deliberately played the Chinese team. In the next match, in the final group stage of the women's basketball team at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, the Australia women's basketball team defeated the host France women's basketball team 79-72. With the victory of the Australia women's basketball team, the Chinese women's basketball team confirmed that it would miss the top 8 of the Olympic Games and stopped in the group stage.
As a result, the Chinese women's basketball team lost 1-2 in the group stage and lost 1 point on goal difference to the Belgium women's basketball team, which advanced to the round of 8. Japan lost to Belgium by 27 points, and the more dominant France team lost to Australia, some people feel that this is the two teams of France and Japan deliberately disgusting the Chinese team, just do not want the Chinese team to advance. Others blamed Chinese women's basketball head coach Zheng Wei, saying that she ignored Li Yueru's request for a timeout at the last minute of the game against Puerto Rico, resulting in the Chinese team not winning by two more points.
Is this the case? Not necessarily, I'm afraid Not to mention whether the Japan team deliberately played the Chinese team, as far as the France team is concerned, they actually want to beat Australia, France's No. 23 team in the case of serious foot damage, the fourth quarter also fought with injuries, the intensity of the whole game is very large, moreover, the France team does not need to play the Chinese team, because the Chinese team can not enter the top 8, for their prospects are not much different.
Talking about Zheng Wei's not calling a timeout, basketball reporter Jia Lei wrote on social media: "According to FIBA rules, after the opponent misses a free throw, the ball is not in a dead ball state, and the team cannot call a timeout at this time." Don't be misled by the media, brainless spraying. And have you ever thought that even if the Chinese women's basketball team wins two more points, if the Japan team just calculates that they want to get you, they can still lose two more points, after all, losing 27 points and losing 29 points is no different for them. ”
If you talk about it, you can only say that the exit of the Chinese women's basketball team is its own problem. If the first game against Spain did not make so many mistakes, how could it be? In fact, the women's basketball team has reached the current situation, and Yao Ming has a certain responsibility. He made both the CBA and WCBA leagues more commercial, and improved the treatment of players, with good intentions. However, it has made most of the players lazy and unmotivated. Look at what kind of performance Li Yueru gave up her high salary in China and went abroad to experience. Looking at the other team members who are messing around, I can only say that Yao Ming has done bad things with good intentions!
