The Chinese women's basketball team suffered a heavy defeat in the Olympic qualifying round, losing to the French women's basketball team by 32 points and only scoring 50 points, which was beyond everyone's expectations. Coach Zheng Wei was very disappointed with the team's performance, apologized to fans across the country, and said that he would make adjustments in the next game. Next, the Chinese women's basketball team will face the Puerto Rico women's basketball team, which is crucial for the Chinese women's basketball team to qualify for the Paris Olympics.
The Chinese women's basketball team did not perform well in the match against the French women's basketball team, scoring only 50 points, losing by 32 points to their opponents. Except for Li Meng, the other players on the team were not in good shape, and the team also had 22 turnovers and only hit 6 three-pointers. All the data show the sluggish performance of the Chinese women's basketball team in this game.
Expanding: In the game, the Chinese women's basketball team's offense encountered a lot of resistance and could not score effectively. Many players are in a slump and can't perform as well as they should. There were a lot of turnovers, which also caused the team to miss a lot of scoring opportunities. The low shooting percentage and the low three-point shooting rate are all reasons for the widening of the score gap. The Chinese women's basketball team needs to seriously reflect on its own problems and find solutions.
After the game, coach Zheng Wei apologized to the fans and summarized the game. She said that the Chinese women's basketball team has mainly played against Asian teams in the past year and has not experienced competition with the world's strongest teams, resulting in many problems for the team when facing the French women's basketball team. She said that she will go back to make a comprehensive summary, adjust the team's mentality and style of play, and show different strength and style in the game against the Puerto Rico women's basketball team.
Expanding: Coach Zheng Wei's words show her dissatisfaction with the performance of the Chinese women's basketball team and her expectations for the future. She pointed out that in the past year, the Chinese women's basketball team has mainly played against Asian teams, and there is a lack of competition with the world's strongest teams, which makes the team look a little scramble when facing the French women's basketball team. In order to make up for this shortcoming, coach Zheng Wei said that he would adjust the team's tactics and mentality, and hoped to show a different strength and state in the next game against the Puerto Rico women's basketball team.
In the Olympic qualifying tournament, the French women's basketball team will qualify directly as the host, while the remaining two spots will be decided between the Chinese women's basketball team, the New Zealand women's basketball team and the Puerto Rico women's basketball team. Although the Chinese women's basketball team defeated New Zealand in the first game, the loss to France made the qualification situation difficult. Now, the Chinese women's basketball team needs to win the game against the Puerto Rico women's basketball team to have any hope of qualifying.
Expanding: The Puerto Rico women's basketball team is ranked 11th in the world rankings and is very strong. Although they do not have an advantage in their interior height, they are accurate on the outside and pose a great threat to their opponents. The Chinese women's basketball team needs to do a good job of defense and focus on the opponent's key players. The Puerto Rican women's basketball team suffered a heavy defeat against the French women's basketball team, but this does not mean that they are weaker, but because the French women's basketball team is too strong. For the Chinese women's basketball team, back-to-back games are a big test of physical strength and condition, so we must pay special attention to rest and preparation, and I believe that the girls will not disappoint the fans.

For the Chinese women's basketball team, this game is of great significance, and only by winning can there be hope of qualifying. I believe that the Chinese women's basketball team will make every effort to prepare, play its best, and win glory for the country.
The defeat of the Chinese women's basketball team in the Olympic qualifying round is not terrible, the key is how the team finds the problem from the failure, makes adjustments and meets the challenge of the next game.
