In the World Cup two years ago, the French women's basketball team was the defeated player of the Chinese women's basketball team. Coupled with the fact that the opponent is the host of the Olympic Games and qualified in advance, the Olympic preliminaries are a warm-up match for them. Therefore, the outside world generally believes that even if the opponent has a star of Johannes' level returning, the Chinese women's basketball team has a stronger fighting spirit and a greater hope of winning. However, after the game started, it was not the case.
In terms of starters, the starting five tigers of the Chinese women's basketball team are Han Xu, Huang Sijing, Li Meng, Wang Siyu, and Yang Liwei; The French women's basketball team sent Ayayi, Bedion, Duche, Salang and Williams.
In the first quarter of the game, the Chinese women's basketball team played well at the beginning, Huang Sijing opened the scoring with three points, Yang Liwei's mid-distance and Li Meng's fast down, helping the Chinese women's basketball team and the opponent to take the lead alternately. However, in the second half of the first quarter, the Chinese women's basketball team was dumb, and only Li Yueru scored in one sports battle, and the French team overtook with Johannes' three-point shot. The Chinese women's basketball team fell behind 10-17 in the first quarter. In the second quarter, the Chinese women's basketball team was completely inaccurate, unable to open the situation on the offensive end, and could only rely on free throws to score points, and the mistakes were not well controlled. The French team, led by Johannes, played a wave of 21-5 to completely widen the difference. In the entire first half, the Chinese women's basketball team made only 6 of 24 shots, but made as many as 9 mistakes, and the Chinese women's basketball team trailed by as many as 20 points at 24-44 in the half.
In the third quarter, although Han Xu hit the middle distance and Huang Sijing hit another three-pointer, the Chinese women's basketball team still did not find its form and was beaten 20-5 by the opponent. Johannes scored as he wanted, and the score came to 64-29, and the Chinese women's basketball team was completely beaten. After the pause, Huang Sijing took the lead in intensity, and Li Meng also played on the offensive end, but he could only avoid further collapse. At the end of the third quarter, the Chinese women's basketball team fell behind 36-70. In the last quarter, the Chinese women's basketball team did not score in the first half of the game, and various mistakes were counterattacked, and the French women's basketball team expanded the difference to 40 points with a wave of 10-1.

In this game, the French women's basketball team is really in surprisingly good shape, and they even attach more importance to this battle than the Chinese women's basketball team, and even play it as an Olympic final. The French women's basketball team is the host of the Paris Olympics, and they hope to take advantage of the psychological advantage of the Chinese women's basketball team on the eve of the tournament and complete the revenge of the World Cup. The Chinese women's basketball team was a little slow to deal with the opponent's high-intensity confrontation and excellent state, and the control of the shooting rate and mistakes was not ideal. This point difference is definitely not a reflection of the real strength of the two sides, even if Johannes joins, the two sides are also teams in the same gear. It can only be said that the Chinese women's basketball team lost to itself. On the 11th, the Chinese women's basketball team will face the last opponent, Puerto Rico, and there is no problem in qualifying, what is important is how the Chinese women's basketball team adjusts and what kind of state it can show in the closing game.
