The Chinese women's basketball team is looking for a comeback in this game. In the first game, the Chinese women's basketball team lost to the Japanese women's basketball team by 3 points, and the Chinese women's basketball team hopes to get back to the city in this game.
At the beginning of the game, the Japanese women's basketball team quickly got into the mood and made an 8-0 start. The Chinese women's basketball team relied on the outstanding performance of Yang Shuyu, who contributed 12 points in a single quarter, helping to stop the bleeding. Pan Zhenqi also hit two three-pointers, and the two of them scored all 18 of the Chinese women's basketball team's points in the first quarter. However, the Japanese women's basketball team had a lot of success and took a six-point lead at the end of the first quarter into the second quarter.
In the second quarter, Tang Yu scored 10 points in a row inside to help the Chinese women's basketball team overtake the score. But in the second half of the quarter, the Chinese women's basketball team fell into a slump, while the Japanese women's basketball team hit four consecutive three-pointers to stabilize the situation again. At the end of the half, the Chinese women's basketball team was 9 points behind.
In the second half of the game, both teams' shooting percentages dropped, and the Japanese women's basketball team seized the opportunity to pull back into a double-digit lead. The Chinese women's basketball team, on the other hand, narrowed the gap by frequently committing fouls, but at the end of the third quarter, the Chinese women's basketball team still trailed by 13 points.
In the last quarter, the offense of Chinese women's basketball team was still not in good shape, while the Japanese women's basketball team extended the lead to more than 20 points. Although Wang Siyu scored many strong shots, the difference was too big, and finally the Chinese women's basketball team lost to the Japanese women's basketball team 74-56.
This game shows that the Chinese women's basketball team still needs to improve their overall performance when facing the Japanese women's basketball team, especially in the stability of defense and offense. I hope they can continue to work hard and strive for better results in the upcoming games.
