On the hot land of basketball, on the final night of the U18 Women's Basketball Asian Championship, a battle between Mars and the Earth was staged between China and Australia.
This is not an ordinary duel, but a contest between the brilliance of new stars and the heritage of champions, a clash of tactical wisdom and individual heroism, and a dialogue between youthful enthusiasm and experience.
At the beginning, Australia is like a well-laid out chess player, and every move is directed at the weakness of the Chinese team.
They know that if they want to take the lead in this battle, they must limit the Chinese team's inside giant Zhang Ziyu.
As a result, the Australians were like a group of cheetahs, using fast rotation and tight wrapping, so that Zhang Ziyu fell into a hand-to-hand fight at the beginning, as if a whale in the ocean was besieged by a group of sharks, and every step was extremely difficult.
The start of the Chinese team was like being pressed the slow motion button, except for Zhang Ziyu's occasional flash under the basket, the whole team seemed a little sluggish and confused.
The hole on the defensive end is like a safe where the opponent has found the password, and it can be opened at the touch of a button.
The Australians used speed and tacit understanding to tear apart the defense again and again, allowing the girls of the Chinese team to taste bitterness in the first quarter.
Entering the second quarter, Zhang Ziyu seemed to have found the key to breaking the siege, she used her physical advantage to smash a bloody road under the basket, but she was alone and faced a mountain that required all the efforts of all staff to shake.
The Chinese team was suppressed by the opponent in the competition for rebounding, which was like a giant being stolen by an elf in the forest, which was surprising.
Yibian fought again, and the Chinese team once made people see the dawn of hope.
Zhang Ziyu's inside attack, like a storm in summer, was violent and sudden, helping the team overtake the score.
However, this brief lead is like a meteor flashing in the night sky, beautiful and short-lived.
The Australian team quickly adjusted its strategy, and a wave of offensive waves made the Chinese team's defense collapse in an instant, as if it was a castle on the beach, easily wiped out by the waves.
In the last quarter, although the offensive firepower of the Chinese team was not extinguished, the loopholes on the defensive end were like opening Pandora's box and were out of control.
Every time Australia scores, it is like rubbing salt on the wound, making the Chinese team's counterattack pale and weak.
Zhang Ziyu's solo performance, although he won respect, could not change the outcome of the game.
In this final, five incredible moments are like five hammers, knocking on everyone's heart.
Australia's careful calculations, Zhang Ziyu's lonely struggle, the fragility of China's defense, and those missed rebounds and misplaced defenses, every point is worth pondering.
This competition is not only a test of technology, but also a challenge to the limit of psychological endurance.
It tells us that on the basketball court, there is no one-size-fits-all strategy, only the wisdom of constant adjustment and adaptation.
For the Chinese team, although this defeat was painful, it was also a vivid educational lesson.
They need to learn from failure, learn to find vitality in adversity, how to stay calm under the high pressure of opponents, and how to find everyone's shining point in teamwork, which will be the topics that the Chinese team must answer in the future journey.
After all, every time you fall, you want to fly higher.
