On the first day of the new year, making fans unhappy? The Chinese women's basketball team made three turnovers
The women's basketball qualifiers for the Paris 2024 Olympics coincided with the Chinese New Year, and the host Chinese women's basketball team lost to the French women's basketball team by 32 points in the second game with a score of 50-82. Such a tragedy happened on the first day of the new year, which made the fans sad, but after calming down, they still took it seriously and prepared for the next match against Puerto Rico.
In this game, the Chinese women's basketball team was ready to open up the score gap from the second half of the first quarter, and has not been able to equalize since then, losing 13 points and 14 points in the second and third quarters respectively. The French team scored all 12 players, and the three-point shooting rate was as high as 478%。The reason for this is that the Chinese women's basketball team mainly loses in three aspects.
The back line bore the brunt of the attack. The point guards of the Chinese team in this game were a mess, the two starting point guards Yang Liwei and Wang Siyu only scored 5 points, Yang Liwei only made 1 of 6 shots, 0 of 4 three-point shots, and only got 2 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist and 3 turnovers, which can be said to be the main reason for the loss of this game. The point guard could not make effective use of the ball, the offense was completely stagnant, and with the advantage of not playing inside, the Chinese team could only watch the score be pulled apart little by little.
Secondly, the Chinese team made too many mistakes, some of which were even unnecessary mistakes. In the whole game, the Chinese team made 22 mistakes, 7 more than the opponent, the first 5 people played, 4 people made 3 mistakes (Wang Siyu 1 time), 10 people in the whole game, no one made mistakes, and even the dilemma of serving directly to the opponent from the bottom line many times. If mistakes become commonplace, how can you win a race?
Third, the rebounding gap is huge. In this game, the Chinese women's basketball team lost to the opponent 28-41 in rebounding, and the rebounding defense was poor, which directly led to the fact that the French team made 70 shots in the whole game, while the Chinese women's basketball team only made 45 shots, plus 50%-289% shooting rate, even if the Chinese women's basketball team shot 18 of 23 free throws, the opponent's 4 of 1 free throw shooting rate is enough for the Chinese women's basketball team to rely on more than 17 free throws to score, but there is a big gap with it in rebounding At this point, the Chinese women's basketball team still suffered 32 points.
This fiasco also sounded the alarm for the Chinese women's basketball team. Last year's results are a thing of the past and the big European teams seem to have found a strategy against us, so it's better to have problems now than at the Olympics. I hope that our women's basketball team will recover seriously, adjust their mentality, and win the game against Puerto Rico.
