On August 3, Beijing time, in the women's basketball group stage of the Paris Olympics, the Chinese team defeated Puerto Rico 80-58 to win the first victory. The Chinese women's basketball team held on to the third place in the group and narrowed the net difference to -1 to retain the dawn of the quarterfinals, but Han Xu's last shot sparked heated discussions.
In this game, the women's basketball team had the hope of bringing the net score to +1, and we had a full 24-second offensive time after the opponent missed two free throws, after Yang Liwei stabilized the game, Han Xu kept opening her hand to ask for the ball, and she made two shots in 2 minutes and 23 seconds.
Han Xu's goal made the women's basketball team lose the opportunity to score a goal of +1, I have to say that her 2 minutes and 23 seconds in the final quarter are up for debate, because Li Yueru played 7 minutes and 47 seconds in the last quarter and didn't have a chance to make a shot, and the whole team didn't give Li Yueru the ball, Yang Liwei passed it once, and Li Yueru was surprised.
Han Xu performed extremely poorly against Serbia, 14 minutes off the bench crazy shots 10 times only hit 2 shots to get 11 points and 7 rebounds, she only had the basket in her eyes when she was on the court without a team, teammates all kinds of three-point iron, she also made 5 of 5 three-point 1, Han Xu is nominally the top two players in this women's basketball team, but the ability to make a car behind closed doors for a year is visible to the naked eye.
Against Puerto Rico, she still played with 5 minutes left in the first quarter, and this time she was not obsessed with outside three-pointers, she began to fight for frontcourt rebounds, played 4 minutes and put together 3 frontcourt rebounds, made two free throws for a rebound, and scored 2 points and 6 rebounds in the first quarter 4 minutes, which has exceeded expectations.
In the second quarter, Li Yueru's play was too big, she scored 10 points in 4 of 5 in a single quarter, and she became the key to the women's basketball team's lead on the double gap, so Han Xu did not appear for a minute in the second quarter, Li Yueru was already 12+5 in the half, and Han Xu still scored 2 points and 6 rebounds in 4 minutes.
Han Xu was also trying to cheer for his teammates on the bench, which he had not seen before. In the third quarter, Han Xu rotated regularly, Han Xu twice was in place under the basket to get up strong, Han Xu put down a Li Meng counterattack three points under the basket, Han Xu played 9 minutes in the third quarter and got 8 points and 8 rebounds with high efficiency.
Han Xu played 11 minutes in the game, 3 of 6, got 10 points, 9 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 turnover, although her performance was already better than playing Serbia, but she still only thought about her own data at critical moments.
