The 2024 Women's Basketball Olympic Qualification Tournament has not overshadowed the excitement of the competition, which is the last international event before the Paris Olympics, attracting the attention of women's basketball teams from all over the world. The Chinese women's basketball team is highly anticipated, although it failed to win all, but won the Olympic quota; Although the French team defeated its opponent by a large margin, it also built up strength for the Olympic Games; The European champions Belgium almost upset the world No. 1 United States team with a good performance. However, Japan faced a challenge in the game, and their three-point shooting percentage dropped, and they eventually suffered a heavy defeat to Hungary.
As the European champions, the Belgian team performed well in this competition, almost beating the world No. 1 team USA. Although they failed to achieve a final victory, the Belgian team showed great strength and potential in the game. In the game, the Belgian team played well as a whole, with strong physical ability and excellent technique, especially in the transition between attack and defense.
Players such as Belgium's Munonga and Misman showed great individual ability in the game, shooting well from the field and feeling good on three-pointers, earning valuable points for the team. Especially in the game, the overall statistics of the Belgian team were outstanding, and the score gap gradually widened in the game, and finally defeated the Senegal team with a score of 97-66, showing strong strength.
The U.S. team was blocked by a strong Belgian team in this tournament, and at one point fell into a passive situation, even falling behind their opponents for most of the game. In the game, the U.S. team fell behind in the first quarter and continued to lose in the second quarter, trailing by nine points at halftime. However, at key moments in the game, the U.S. team showed a strong comeback ability, tying the game in the third quarter, and finally won a thrilling 101-90 victory in the final quarter with a crazy comeback.
It is worth mentioning that the U.S. team showed team cohesion and tenacious fighting spirit in the comeback process, and the players stepped up and played well at key moments. Throughout the game, the U.S. team performed a classic performance, showing excellent mental quality and technical and tactical ability in a headwind situation, and finally fought until the last minute to come back and win.
Compared to European champions Belgium and the mighty United States, Japan had a sluggish performance in this tournament, especially against Hungary. In the game, the Japanese team also showed good form in the first quarter, but then began to decline in the second quarter, and the opponent took a 19-10 lead. In the third quarter, the Hungarian team was still under strong pressure, and the opponent blasted 21-16.
Throughout the game, the Japanese team's three-point shooting rate decreased significantly, and the number of mistakes increased, which could not effectively limit the opponent's offense, and finally had no advantage in the overall strength comparison. The Japanese team needs to look at the problems exposed in the game, strengthen technical and tactical training, improve the overall strength, and be fully prepared for the next games.
In the Women's Basketball Olympic Qualifying Tournament, the strength of the teams was very different, the European champion Belgium showed strong potential and strength, the United States team showed the determination and ability to turn around at a critical moment, and the Japanese team encountered challenges in the game and needed to learn lessons. Overall, the women's basketball arena is highly competitive, and every team is constantly improving, and I believe that in the future, each team will show more exciting games.
