"The field is like a battlefield, and victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers." This phrase could not be more apt to describe the cruelty and uncertainty of competitive sports.
Okay, let's get down to business and talk about the women's basketball group stage of the 2024 Paris Olympics, especially the performance of our Chinese women's basketball team.
The women's basketball competition at the Olympic Games is full of strong players, and all teams are gearing up and ready to show their talents. As for our Chinese women's basketball team, the pre-game situation is not very optimistic, and the record of 2 wins and 11 losses in the Olympic warm-up game is indeed a bit sweaty. In particular, the seven consecutive defeats made people worry about the girls' performance at the Olympics.
After the start of the group stage, our Chinese women's basketball team was divided into Group A, competing with strong teams such as Spain, Serbia and Puerto Rico. In the first game against Spain, the girls played quite tenaciously, but unfortunately lost by 1 point in the end, and this defeat also made the fans feel sorry. Next up against Serbia was another 59-81 defeat.
The defeat in this game exposed our fitness and squad problems. The substitutes are weak, relying too much on core players such as Li Yueru and Li Meng, while the form of other players has also declined. The inside advantage that we were good at in the past was not well reflected in this Olympics.
Fortunately, in the third game against Puerto Rico, the Chinese women's basketball team finally found its form and won with a score of 80-58. The win also gave fans hope, however, due to the defeat of our first two games, we had a goal difference of just -1 and ended up third in the group and missing out on the quarter-finals.
Speaking of the top eight teams in this Olympic Games, they are all powerful! Spain, Serbia, France, Australia, Nigeria, United States, Germany and Belgium all qualified with outstanding performances after fierce competition in the group stage. The next 1/4 final battle list is also full of highlights, Spain vs Belgium, United States vs Nigeria, Serbia vs Australia, France vs Germany, these matchups are all exciting.
Of course, the most regrettable thing for fans is that our Chinese women's basketball team failed to advance to the quarterfinals. Especially if you see some "if" situations, like if Canada can beat Nigeria, if we can win one more game, the result could be completely different. However, competitive sports are like that, there are no ifs, only results.
From the group stage of the women's basketball team at this Olympic Games, we also saw the problems and shortcomings of the Chinese women's basketball team. In addition to fitness and squad issues, the coach's guidance at key moments is also particularly important. I hope that in the future games, we can sum up the lessons and lessons, strive to improve our strength, and lay a solid foundation for the rise of the Chinese women's basketball team.
In the end, although we have not been able to go further in this Olympic Games, the fighting spirit and tenacious will of the girls are still worthy of our praise. Let's continue to pay attention to the growth and progress of the Chinese women's basketball team, and look forward to them creating more brilliance in the future!
