At the beginning of the game, the Chinese women's basketball team felt hot outside, Han Xu and Huang Sijing hit three three-pointers in a row, leading 9:2. There was a lapse in the defensive end, and New Zealand took the opportunity to counterattack and chase the score to 9:6. At the critical moment, Han Xu stepped forward and scored again for the Chinese women's basketball team through an empty cut layup, stretching the score to 11:6.
Subsequently, the Chinese women's basketball team made substitution adjustments, but the shooting rate of the substitute lineup was not ideal. The New Zealand team adopted an aggressive offensive strategy, constantly attacking the basket in an attempt to break down the defense of the Chinese women's basketball team. The referee's decision also attracted attention, and the Chinese women's basketball team was continuously whistled for fouls, which was quite unfavorable at home.
It is worth noting that Li Yueru, who returned to the national team, encountered a sluggish feeling in the game. She had excelled in the previous Turkish league and had a number of missed shots against New Zealand, especially two easy inside strikes. Li Yueru's return to the national team this time is relatively short, and it will take time to cooperate with her teammates, but for fans, such a performance is really surprising.
Before the end of the first quarter, Li Yueru finally completed an inside hook layup while hitting both free throws, contributing 4 points and 4 rebounds to the team. She hit just one of six shots in the first quarter, making her one of the lowest percentages. Han Xu scored 8 points in the first quarter and became the best player in the game.
Overall, the Chinese women's basketball team led the opponent by 10 points at 22:12 at the end of the first quarter, showing the advantage of overall strength. The only regret is that Li Meng has not yet opened a score account. It is expected that in the next game, the Chinese women's basketball team will be able to maintain the efficient performance of core players such as Han Xu while Li Yueru gradually finds her hand, and lay a solid foundation for victory. As the game entered the second quarter, the Chinese women's basketball team maintained strong defensive pressure on the court. Han Xu continued to show excellent individual ability, and her dominance under the basket made it difficult for opponents to deal with, and frequently fought for the team to get a second chance to attack. And in this process, Han Xu's performance is not only to score, but also to create a good space for his teammates.
Li Yueru still couldn't get out of the trough, and her consecutive misses on the offensive end became a big suspense in the game. For the Turkish league's leading scorer, her performance against the New Zealand defence didn't go as planned. Fans are cheering her on and looking forward to her finding her form in the upcoming matches.
The overall teamwork of the Chinese women's basketball team is still at a high level, and although Li Meng has not yet made many breakthroughs on the scoring end, her contributions in defense and rebounding cannot be ignored. The tacit cooperation of the whole team, especially the adjustment of the substitute lineup in the process, shows the overall strength of the Chinese women's basketball team.
The second half of the game will be a more fierce competition, the New Zealand team will not give up easily, and the Chinese women's basketball team will also need to find more effective touch on the offensive end. Whether Li Yueru can gradually regain her sense in the game and become a sharp weapon for the team to score will be a key point in the game.
In the women's basketball Olympic qualifiers, every player of the Chinese women's basketball team will assume important responsibilities. In the anticipation of the audience, they will continue to win glory for the country and hit the Olympic ticket. Let's look forward to the excitement of the second half of the game and witness the brave struggle of the Chinese women's basketball team!
