The two players who performed the best in the Chinese women's basketball team in this game were the combination of Han Xu and Li Yueru, who contributed 17 points and 9 rebounds in the first half, which was the most outstanding player in the Chinese women's basketball team.

In turn, the Chinese women's basketball team only had one steal in the first half, which is the main reason why the point difference was not pulled.
