In this highly anticipated Summer Olympics, the Chinese women's basketball team ushered in their first game, facing strong opponents Spain, and finally lost 89-90. Although the result was heart-wrenching, the moments on the pitch and the fighting spirit of the athletes were inspiring.
At the beginning of the first quarter of the game, the Chinese women's basketball team showed a strong desire to win, especially Li Yueru, who not only actively broke through on the offensive end, but also frequently sent blocks in defense. Li Yueru's performance seems to be a clear stream, injecting a shot of strength into the team. She used her imposing performance to let the audience see what it means to be a "powerful faction". This young interior player, not only scoring efficiently, but also did not fall behind in the confrontation at all, became the focus of the whole game.
However, the performance of the Chinese team was not perfect, and frequent mistakes became a major hidden danger for the team. Especially in the crucial third quarter, several unnecessary passing errors allowed Spain to seize the opportunity and quickly pull the score away. This situation made Wang Baoquan in the coach's seat so anxious that he slapped the table. In the face of Spain's tight defense, the Chinese team sometimes seemed a little scrambling and lacked an effective attacking organization, resulting in opportunities that could have been seized in vain.
Although there are many mistakes, the fighting spirit of the Chinese women's basketball team is still commendable. In the next game, the players quickly adjusted their mentality, and Li Yueru continued to play well, scoring points for the team many times. Although Yang Liwei is not in good shape, the performance of this reliable defender on the field has not met expectations. Her shooting was ineffective, and she lost her former sharpness, which became a short-term concern for the team.
As the game deepened, the confrontation between the two sides became more and more intense. With its rich game experience and flexible tactical arrangement, the Spain team constantly put pressure on the Chinese team. Whenever the Chinese team tried to close the difference, Spain always used accurate counterattacks to pull the score back away. Entering the final quarter, the Chinese team launched another attack under the leadership of Li Yueru, and the score was once tied at one point, and the emotions of the audience were constantly pushed to a climax.
