At 2:25 a.m. on the 30th, the Chinese women's basketball team will usher in the opponent of the 4th European training match: Serbia.
The women's basketball group for the Paris Olympics, which will start next month, has already been announced, and the Serbian women's basketball team, Spain and the Chinese women's basketball team are in Group A, which means that they will directly compete with the Chinese team for a qualifying place.
The Serbian women's basketball team has always been a traditional powerhouse in Europe, having topped the European Championship in 2015, and although its strength has declined over the years, it is still ranked 10th in the world and is an opponent to be reckoned with.
In these years, the Chinese women's basketball team has lost more than won against Serbia.
What impressed fans should be the quarterfinals of the last Tokyo Olympics, the Chinese women's basketball team met Serbia in a narrow way, and the Chinese team lost 70-77 to the opponent, was eliminated and missed the semifinals.
The last time they met at the Tokyo Olympics, in fact, the Chinese team had been playing inextricably with their opponents in the first three quarters, and even led by 9 points in the third quarter. It's just that the final quarter suddenly collapsed, with 4 consecutive turnovers, and the turnovers in the game were as high as 23.
Therefore, the key for the Chinese team tonight is to control the mistakes and increase the defensive intensity. The second is to open the outside line, role players are bold and dare to show their swords, and they can't just rely on the play of Han Xu on the inside.
Now the Chinese team is currently in an uneven lineup, Li Yueru and Li Meng's two cores have not returned, and the small defeat is understandable, so there should be no big collapse of the rout.
It has suffered two consecutive defeats before, defeating the Spanish women's basketball team by 24 points on June 23, and losing to European powerhouse Belgium by 15 points in the early hours of this morning.
If it loses again tonight, the Chinese team will be a big blow to the confidence of the upcoming Paris Olympics.
The Chinese team is in desperate need of a win to boost their confidence, especially their rivals in the Paris Olympics group.
It is worth mentioning that tonight, CCTV Sports Channel will not broadcast the women's basketball game live, and fans and friends who like to watch women's basketball games should find the live broadcast room to watch it by themselves.
