The French women's basketball team showed strong strength in the first game of the Women's Olympic Qualification Tournament, easily defeating North American powerhouse Puerto Rico with a brilliant performance. The most eye-catching performance of Marlene Johannes was the competition. As known as the female Curry, she perfectly interprets what it means to be a "female gunner".
Johannes showed amazing shooting skills in the first half of the game, hitting four three-pointers in just one person to open the score gap in an instant. She is sharp and confident, whether it is a long-range shot or a breakthrough layup, she can hit it steadily. Substitute Duche also played well in the game, shooting accurately from the outside and contributing valuable points to the team.
The overall tactics of the French women's basketball team are also very good, not only doing their outside projection frequently, but also creating huge problems for Puerto Rico by advancing the offense quickly. By the end of the first half, France had taken a 24-point lead and won 37-13.
Yibian fought again, and the French women's basketball team changed to an all-bench lineup, but this did not affect the team's performance. The 18-year-old Malone showed super strength on the inside, and through steals and offensive counterattacks, he once helped the team widen the gap to 30 points. Johannes, meanwhile, continues to support the team, with her shooting from beyond the three-point line being almost unstoppable.
Young players such as Rupert and Gabby Williams also showed their talent in the game, and their height and skill gave France a huge advantage on the field. This French women's basketball team is young and energetic, and is destined to become a strong opponent of the Chinese women's basketball team in the future.
Judging from the technical statistics, the strength of the French women's basketball team should not be underestimated. In the game, the French team made 18 three-point shots and shot about 39% from the field, which showed the team's good outside offense. The Puerto Rico women's basketball team was passively beaten, and the number one star Gilantes only contributed 1 point with free throws.
In addition, the French women's basketball team has four players who are more than 1.9 meters tall inside, and can provide strong rebounding and defensive ability. On the whole, the French women's basketball team has a neat lineup and a high level of technology and tactics, showing a strong team.
Next, the French women's basketball team will usher in a match with the Chinese women's basketball team. As the host, the Chinese women's basketball team needs to be fully prepared for the match against the French team, dealing with the opponent's strong outside offensive and interior advantage. The young players of the French women's basketball team are full of energy and momentum, which will definitely bring great challenges to the Chinese team.
In the match against the French women's basketball team, the Chinese women's basketball team needs to pay close attention to an outside shooter like Johannes and try to block her shooting lane. At the same time, against the interior players of the French women's basketball team, the Chinese team also needs to strengthen defense and control the opponent's rebounding offense.
Overall, the strength of the French women's basketball team is indeed not to be underestimated, but the Chinese women's basketball team also has its own strength and advantages. Through careful preparation and teamwork, I believe that the Chinese women's basketball team will be able to meet the challenge and make an outstanding performance for the Olympic qualification. Come on, Chinese women's basketball team!
