On February 10, 2024, the second round of the women's basketball qualification tournament for the Paris Olympics has been successfully concluded, in which three teams from China and Belgium have successfully qualified, while Hungary is a dead end. So far, none of these four teams have been able to ensure advancement. The teams in the Chinese region showed strong strength, swept their opponents, and deserved the name of promotion. Here are the detailed results from the first two rounds:
Tournament area in China:
China – New Zealand 94:47 France – Puerto Rico 88:40
China – 50:82 Puerto Rico, France – 69:67 New Zealand.
Two relatively weak teams, Puerto Rico 69, managed to beat 67 New Zealand. In this group, France have already won two games and qualified, while China and Puerto Rico's one-win and one-loss record also ensured their chances of qualifying, but New Zealand were knocked out of the competition.
Tournament zones in Brazil:
Australia – Brazil at 60:55 and Germany – Serbia at 73:66
Australia-Germany time is 85:52 and Serbia-Brazil time is 72:65
In this group, Australia have already won two matches and managed to advance, with Germany and Serbia with one win and one loss respectively, while Brazil lost both matches. Thus, the calculated fractions are Germany +7, Serbia 0, Brazil -7. The situation is quite complicated, with Germany only having to beat Brazil or a small loss within 7 points to qualify, while Brazil must beat Germany and score 7 points or more to qualify. Brazil and Germany will face off like a showdown, with the winner qualifying. If Brazil beat Germany by 7 points, Brazil, Germany and Serbia would have the same score, which would require a comparison of their performance against Australia.
Belgium's Playing Zones:
The score of Senegal and Nigeria is 65:72, and the ratio of Belgium to the United States is 79:81
The score of the United States and Nigeria is 100:46, while the ratio of Belgium to Senegal is 97:46
The United States have already won two matches and qualified, while Belgium and Nigeria have secured their qualification with one win and one loss, while Senegal have been knocked out.
Tournament area in Hungary:
It is 55:60 from Canada to Spain and 81:75 from Hungary to Japan
Canada-Hungary time is 67:55, Japan-Spain time is 86:75
In this game, the situation is quite complicated. All four teams have one win and one loss, with goal difference of +7 for Canada, +5 for Japan, -6 for Spain and -6 for Hungary. In the final round, Spain and Hungary go head-to-head, with the winner advancing to the tournament, while Canada and Japan will also emerge victorious and have a chance to advance even if they lose by six points.
All things considered, the teams that have made the cut include: China, France, Puerto Rico, the United States, Belgium, Nigeria and Australia. The other five teams that will advance will not be determined until after the final round of the group stage.
