In the final round of the Olympic women's basketball group stage on August 4, the Chinese women's basketball team ushered in a key battle.
In this match, the Chinese team defeated Puerto Rico 80-58 to achieve the only victory of this Olympic Games.
However, this victory did not help the Chinese women's basketball team advance to the quarterfinals, and finally missed the semifinals.
The performance of the Chinese women's basketball team in this Olympic Games can be called ups and downs.
The defeats in the first two group games have left the team and fans feeling quite frustrated.
In the first match against Spain, the Chinese team lost by a relatively large margin of points, and then against Serbia, the team's performance still did not improve, and the team lost again.
These two defeats put the team under extreme pressure, and every player and coaching staff on the pitch felt a heavier and heavier weight on their shoulders.
There was a lively discussion after the game, and everyone was speculating about whether it was a tactical problem or the poor form of the players.
The coach and the players knew in their hearts that if they could not win the final game against Puerto Rico, their previous efforts would be in vain.
Against Puerto Rico, despite the team's best efforts to win a hearty 80-58 victory, the joy seemed to be overshadowed by the disappointment of the first two games.
The team's performance has improved, but the hope of qualifying has become slim.
According to the Olympic qualification rules, the top two teams in each group and the two best third-place finishers in each group will advance to the quarterfinals.
Although the Chinese team finished third in Group A, their goal difference of -1 put them at a disadvantage in the third place of the other groups.
Especially in Group C, Belgium beat Japan by 27 points in the final round, jumping from -27 points to 0 points.
This sudden victory allowed Belgium to surpass the Chinese women's basketball team in the rankings.
When they learned the results of the Belgium team, the mood of the Chinese coaching staff and players fell to the bottom like a roller coaster.
They know that even if they win their last game, they will still not be able to compete with Belgium on goal difference because of their excellent performance.
Faced with such a reality, there was an atmosphere of silence and disappointment in the team's dressing room after the game, and many people could not hide the loneliness in their eyes.
The entire Olympic schedule is a huge challenge for the Chinese women's basketball team.
From the preparation before the start of the game, to the summary and reflection after each game, everyone in the team has put in a huge effort.
In the end, this group stage not only stopped the team from reaching the quarterfinals at the Olympics, but also caused each member to experience a violent mental swing.
While the final win brought some comfort to the team, the reality of failing to make it to the quarter-finals was hard to swallow.
The players stood on the field after the game, facing the disappointed eyes of the fans in the audience, and their hearts were full of regret and self-blame.
They knew they had done their best, but they couldn't change the final result.
The coaches are also thinking about the next steps to improve, hoping to learn from this experience in order to bounce back and regain glory in future competitions.
Some netizens mentioned in the comments that the failure of the Chinese women's basketball team to enter the quarterfinals was the best result, saying that if they entered the quarterfinals, it may cover up the team's real problems.
The remark sparked a lot of discussion on social media.
The seemingly ruthless evaluation actually reveals the concern and disappointment of many fans about the current state of the Chinese women's basketball team.
The voices of the fans are often a direct reflection of the dissatisfaction and expectation of the team's performance.
This netizen's comment pointed directly to the achievements of the Chinese women's basketball team in the Olympic Games, especially Yao Ming and the management team are considered to be to blame.
This comment expresses the disappointment of the team's failure to qualify, on the one hand, and concerns and criticism for the future on the other.
In the face of such a voice, the team's coaching staff and management are undoubtedly feeling a lot of pressure.
The criticism from the outside world is not only dissatisfaction with the results of the competition, but also doubts about the long-term management and development of the team.
The coaching staff and management probably know in their hearts that although the team did not make it to the quarter-finals this time, if they did, those fundamental problems could be swept under the rug, and people might think it was just bad luck and the occasional low.
However, such an assessment makes it impossible for them to ignore the real problems facing the team.
The ups and downs of the team's performances and the instability of key moments are all challenges that need to be faced and solved.
In dealing with such comments, the management team had to face the reality that there were many deeper issues behind the team's results, including tactical arrangements, player form, and overall management.
As a leading figure in Chinese basketball, Yao Ming carries more expectations and responsibilities.
As a former basketball star, every step of his decision-making and management strategy is amplified and more scrutiny.
The accusations and comments from fans are not only criticism of one game, but also questions about the development strategy of the entire basketball.
Faced with this situation, the inner activity of the team is complex.
On the one hand, they must accept such criticism as a basis for improvement; On the other hand, they also know that solving these problems will not happen overnight.
The coaching staff may be reflecting on their own tactical and on-the-spot command shortcomings, while also considering how to adjust the team's training and preparation plans to perform better in future games.
From a player's point of view, criticism in the comments can often have a psychological impact.
They may feel frustrated and stressed in the face of doubt, but they may also find motivation to grow.
The players know that only by really learning from each game can they make a breakthrough in the games to come.
The competition in Group B is really sparkling.
The final round of matches decided the fate of many teams, especially the Chinese women's basketball team's hopes of qualifying.
Nigeria were very strong in the crucial match against Canada.
They won 79-70 against Canada to secure themselves a 2-1 victory.
The win was very important for Nigeria and cemented their place in the group.
At the same time, the match between France and Australia is equally important.
France have performed well in the first two rounds and have already secured a place in qualification.
However, Australia performed well in the final game, winning a landslide victory over France, a result that dealt a fatal blow to the Chinese women's basketball team's dream of qualifying.
Australia's victory also saw them qualify with a 2-1 record, which made China's position in the group even more awkward.
The Chinese women's basketball team's original hopes of advancing were pinned on the results of these games in Group B.
If the victories of Nigeria and Australia have a great impact on the Chinese team, the final result will completely miss the Chinese team in the quarterfinals.
Although China won their final Group A game, the result did not make up for their previous defeats, especially as their rivals in other groups were strong and they were eventually squeezed out of the top eight.
This situation has put the coaching staff and management team of the Chinese women's basketball team under tremendous pressure.
Everyone is analysing why the previous games were not played well, whether there were tactical problems, or fluctuations in the form of the players.
The players also knew very well that they did their best in the game, but the result was still disappointing.
Everyone is reflecting on their performance on the pitch and adjusting, trying to figure out what went wrong.
The mood of the players and coaches can be quite heavy to see these results.
The loss of the competition is not only a setback in the results, but also a sense of the gap between the hard work and the final result.
In the post-race discussion, everyone thought more about future plans and adjustments.
The players were in the locker room, the atmosphere was particularly dull, everyone comforted each other, but the loss in their hearts was difficult to hide.
The coaching staff is also thinking about how to improve in the upcoming games and how to make the team more competitive.
From a fan perspective, such a result can be disappointing and frustrating.
Everyone's expectations for the Chinese women's basketball team are very high, and seeing that the team failed to enter the quarterfinals, there is a big gap in their hearts.
This has also prompted more suggestions and expectations for the future of the team, hoping to see even better performances in the next games.
The Chinese women's basketball team has had a glorious moment in the history of the Olympic Games.
They won bronze at Los Angeles 1984, silver at Barcelona 1992 and the quarter-finals at Tokyo 2021.
The defeat marked a major setback for the Chinese women's basketball team at the Olympics, despite the team's best in the final game.
However, their poor first two rounds and the results of their other groups affected them and they failed to qualify for the quarter-finals.
