At the Paris 2024 Olympics, the Chinese women's basketball team played against Spain, and we led by 5 points in the final 27.2 seconds of the regular season. The opponent launched a fast attack to make it 2+1, and we still led by 2 points. The opponent then fouled Li Meng, who then hit one of two free throws to give us a three-point lead. Spain's No. 11 made a tie three-pointer in the final 6.5 seconds and made a foul.
The free throws were missed and the game went into overtime. In the final moments of overtime, the three-pointer that should have been shot was not shot, and it was useless to score two points. And just like that, the boiled duck flew, 89-90 defeated.
Today, the women's basketball team has several times more mistakes than the opponent, and the guard is absolutely responsible, but Li Yuan can't be used, she is too short and the defense is too bad, so she didn't dare to play her in the end. That's how the whole line of back is. The coach was also unclear and did not help the players to make effective deployments.
High scores
Li Yueru scored 31 points, 9 of 16 shots, 1 three-pointer, 12 of 13 free throws, has grown into the world's No. 1 center, scored three balls with one enemy under the basket in a row, 11 of 12 free throws are too domineering, and the accurate three-point shot at the last moment gave the team to continue her life, she is the team's strongest leg.
Han Xu, as an important interior player of the Chinese women's basketball team, only got 11 minutes of playing time in this game, although she was efficient in the limited time, shooting 4 of 5 and getting 8 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist. At the last moment, you can actually try to use the twin tower lineup composed of Han Xu and Li Yueru.
Li Meng is still the strongest brain of the team, she contributed 11 assists in this game, revitalized the whole team by herself, made several baskets to make kills, from the shooting rate is not very ideal, 9 shots 3, 3 three-point shots 1 shot, scored 13 points, played 38 minutes, this score is less.
Unqualified
Wang Siyu regressed too fast, first, the ball was handled unreasonably, and there were many mistakes; second, the ball quotient is low, and the opponent is sent free throws in regular time; Third, obviously not confident, and in the end I had to shoot three points and didn't dare to shoot, which was very helpless. The stats look at 3-of-7 shooting and 2 rebounds.
Yang Liwei: Only scored 4 points, made 1 of 6 shots, scored 1 three-pointer, 1 free throw, made more turnovers, played 37 minutes, after all, poor performance.
