Disappointing! The Canada women's basketball team lost all 3 games and went bottom of the tournament with a number of WNBA players

Guide

On the stage of the Paris Olympics, the performance of the Canada women's basketball team was disappointing, losing all three games in a row! What is the reason for this strong team to fall to the bottom? Was it a tactical mistake or psychological pressure? Let's take a closer look at the story behind this much-talked-about event.

It's 2024, and it's the annual Olympics again.

This is the stage that all sports athletes around the world dream of.

Many athletes see the Olympics as a turning point in their lives and work hard.

I hope to be able to shine on this stage and realize my sports dream.

However, there are also some athletes who, after years of struggle, have not been able to stand on the Olympic stage after all.

Although they couldn't make it, their stories are admirable.

The performance of the Canada women's basketball team in the group stage of the Paris Olympics this time also disappointed fans.

The first battle was defeated

In the group stage of the women's basketball team at the Paris Olympics, the Canada women's basketball team lost to France 7079 in the first game.

In this game, the strength of the Canada women's basketball team was not reflected at all, and there were many mistakes.

It's on the offensive end that the team's shooting percentage is very low.

And the offensive rhythm is very monotonous, basically letting the main outside players break through with the ball, and the inside players complete layups or shots.

Although the team has a certain advantage under the basket, it will not help in the face of France's strong defense.

The outside players of the Canada women's basketball team also had a low shooting percentage in this game, and they could not share the pressure at all.

And the outside players don't find an effective coordination point when attacking with the ball.

Defensively, the Canada women's basketball team also has a lot of problems.

Especially when the opposing player breaks through with the ball, there is no effective package defense between teammates, and it is easy to be passed.

This allowed France's perimeter players to score under the basket frequently.

There were few points in the second quarter

The Canada women's basketball team played against France, and the first quarter ended, and the two sides temporarily tied at 1818.

In the first quarter of the game, both sides were still testing each other's bottom line and watching each other's tactical play.

Although the score was still tied at the end of the first quarter, France had a certain advantage on the court.

It was France that adopted a multi-point flowering strategy on the offensive end, finding the best shot point through constant passing and receiving of the ball.

It makes it physically exhausting for the Canada women's basketball players to run back and forth, and it is difficult to keep up with the passing and receiving of opposing players.

It is France who are able to find better opportunities and open players to score when attacking with the ball.

And the Canada women's basketball team often runs out of time when they attack with the ball, resulting in waste.

After the end of the first quarter, France quickly adjusted their tactics, strengthened their defense across the board, and focused on players who created chances with the ball on the outside.

This caused the Canada women's basketball team to run into trouble in the second quarter.

At the end of the second quarter, the Canada women's basketball team scored only 2 points, setting a new low for the Canada women's basketball team in the international arena.

Such a performance undoubtedly made the Canada women's basketball team lose ugly.

The second game was defeated

In the second game of the women's basketball group stage of the Paris Olympics, in the match with the Australia women's basketball team, the Canada women's basketball team lost but performed well.

Although trailing by 14 points at the end of the first quarter, the Canada women's basketball team quickly found its form and played a good game in the second quarter.

Claxton, a rising star of Canada who played well in this game, won the first game with 20 points, nine rebounds and four assists.

Claxton was a standout performer in this game, playing very well on the offensive end and also playing an important role on the defensive end.

Claxton, who had played well in the game, did not win, much to her frustration.

However, as a good athlete, she believes that she still has a chance and will continue to work hard.

Claxton is an excellent small forward with an advantage in height and reach, and has the advantages of being flexible and able to continue to break through, and has a great performance during the NCAA, she has an excellent performance during the NCAA, she has an excellent performance during the NCAA, Claxton perfectly interpreted her strength as a well-rounded player in this game, Claxton perfectly interpreted her strength as a well-rounded player in this game, In this game, Claxton perfectly interpreted his strength as a well-rounded player, in this game, Claxton perfectly interpreted his strength as a well-rounded player, in this game, Claxton perfectly interpreted his strength as a well-rounded player, in this game, Claxton perfectly interpreted his strength as a well-rounded player, in this game, Claxton perfectly interpreted his strength as a well-rounded player, In this game, Claxton perfectly interpreted his strength as a well-rounded player, in this game, Claxton perfectly interpreted his strength as a well-rounded player, in this game, Claxton perfectly interpreted his strength as a well-rounded player, in this game, Claxton perfectly interpreted his strength as a well-rounded player, in this game, Claxton perfectly interpreted his strength as a well-rounded player

Bottom of World War III

At 21:30 on the evening of August 4, Beijing time, Group B of the women's basketball group stage of the 2024 Paris Olympics ushered in a round of competition, against the two sides of the battle for the bottom of Group B, Canada women's basketball against Nigeria women's basketball.

In the end, the Canada women's basketball team lost to the Nigerian women's basketball team 7079, and lost all three games in the group stage, with the bottom result.

On this trip, the Canada women's basketball team was undoubtedly the most underdog, and the overall performance was disappointing.

Although the overall strength of the Canada women's basketball team is strong compared to its opponents, it is indeed disappointing to lose all three games in the group stage of this Olympic Games.

The first game was defeated by France, and only 2 points were scored in the second quarter, and the overall performance was very poor; The second game against Australia was lost by only 5 points, and despite the bloody game, it was ultimately lost; Against Nigeria, the first half ended with a four-point lead over the opponent, and the second half ended with only five points in the third quarter, and finally lost.

The overall performance was extremely disappointing.

Although the group stage lost continuously, the Canada women's basketball team did not give up the hope of qualifying after three games, after all, there is still a "knockout system".

It's a pity that other opponents have a good record, especially the Nigerian women's basketball team, which has won the previous two games and is in good shape.

Of course, if you want to get good results, the key is to seize the opportunity.

Failure to capitalise on opportunities at critical moments led to the dashing of hopes of qualifying.

At the bottom of the three-game group, is it the real strength of the Canada women's basketball team?

The psychological factor of losing

You know, the current Canada women's basketball team is ranked No. 5 in the world, and even has the strength of No. 6 in the world.

But in this wonderful game staged at the Paris Olympics, the Canada women's basketball team can be described as a cold water pourer.

Looking at the performance of the first game, when the two sides were at the end of the battle, Canada relied on Vonnell's 15 points and 5 assists and Colley's 15 points and 7 rebounds to achieve better statistics.

The overall stats don't look bad, but in fact, while Vonnell and Colley combined for 30 points to play efficiently, the rest of the players were disappointing overall.

On the other hand, France did not score more than 25 points, but played a wonderful game with team cooperation and overall play.

At that time, the France team played very well, and the old strong team of United States, which played abnormally at that time, had to be questioned by the outside world.

Although the head coach of the old powerhouse team of United States quickly came forward to clarify his mentality, in fact France did play well at that time.

It's a pity that he didn't qualify for the knockout round this time.

Then for the Canada women's basketball team, it is obviously caused by the lack of adjustment of mentality.

In fact, for the Olympic stage, the pressure is real.

After all, every athlete wants to have a better performance on such a stage.

And how to adjust the mentality will directly affect the overall performance.

It is clear that the Canada women's basketball team has obviously failed to play every game with a calm and relaxed mentality in the first game.

Of course, the lack of mental adjustment is only one of the factors.

In the game against Australia, the two sides fought quite fiercely, and Australia is also a dark horse this time.

It's a pity to lose after encountering the toughest United States old strong team and say goodbye to this trip.

After playing against Australia, the Canada women's basketball team lost the trip and said goodbye, but there is no doubt that they still showed a very tenacious spirit of resistance.

Although they lost the game, from the statistics of both sides: although Australia's Cotter scored only 2 points on 0-of-6 shooting, the other Australia players contributed; On the other hand, the Canada team only has Vonnell, Colley, and Claxton.

At that time, although Claxton's 20 points and 9 rebounds were eye-catching, Vonnell's 15 points and 5 assists and Colley's 10 points and 7 rebounds were also passable.

But on the whole, except for these three people, the other people's data basically did not contribute.

At that time, he only scored 4 points, his performance was mediocre, his state was relatively sluggish, and his talent was missing.

Obviously, this trip does lack the core of individual core to play, and the teamwork and personal status of others are a little difficult to say.

In the end, he played against Australia, and although he fought bloodily, he still lost the trip and said goodbye.

At that time, suffering a losing streak was already on the verge of early exit.

But even so, they have not given up hope and remain optimistic ahead of their clash with Nigeria, after all, they still have a chance of progressing to the knockout stages as long as they win their opponents.
