97-66！The women's basketball team beat the European champions, Japan was defeated, and the United States was in danger of a cold war!
Although the qualifying round for the 2024 Women's Basketball League is over, the whole event is still very interesting. This is an international event before the Paris Olympics, and even France as the host country is eligible to participate, but winning all three rounds does not have much training effect for them, but allows them to better adjust their squad.
The Chinese Women's Basketball Association is still pinned on high hopes by the majority of fans, although there are no three victories, but the goal of advancing to the Olympic Games has basically been achieved, but when encountering a team similar to their own, it is inevitable that there will be some problems, head coach Zheng Wei also realized that the Chinese men's basketball team still has many shortcomings, the road ahead is still very long, and it is not a simple matter to win a gold medal.
In addition to France, the participating teams include Japan, the United States, Australia, Belgium, Spain and Canada.
Belgium came a long way in the European Championships, narrowly missing the top-ranked United States, but they still lost in the end, otherwise they would have had a chance to beat the United States.
On the other hand, the U.S. team sweated a lot, the difference between the first two quarters was 4, and the second half was pulled away by 9, and in the third quarter, they tied the score again, and in the fourth quarter, they played 11 more to barely pull back a game.
Belgium won again, with three points from Munonga giving Belgium a 12-3 advantage. Subsequently, Misman also had 2 points, and Belgium won the first quarter with a 23-15 advantage.

Japan lost to Hungary, and they played well in the first quarter, but in the second quarter they fell into a slump, clawed back to 19-10 by the Hungarians, but in the third quarter they took the lead and won 21-16.
From the perspective of the whole game, the three-point shooting rate of the American team is not as high as Hungary, and the overall shooting rate is also lower than Hungary, and in terms of rebounding, they are also at an absolute disadvantage.
