In the Women's Basketball World Cup, before the third eight-to-foot-foot competition between the Chinese women's basketball team and the French women's basketball team started, the US women's basketball team and the Canadian women's basketball team had eliminated the Serbian women's basketball team and Puerto Rico women's basketball team with a big victory, and each got a place in the semi-finals. Obviously, in the two competitions, the stronger teams became the ultimate winners. For the Chinese women's basketball team, although the French women's basketball team ranks sixth in the world and is also the world's top team, the two famous players of the opponent, Gruda and Johannes, are unable to play for some reasons, which also reduces the overall strength of the French women's basketball team. Therefore, the Chinese women's basketball team can be said that as long as they are good at the game and follow their own pace, no matter how outstanding the opponent performs, they must firmly believe in themselves, and they can break through the barrier guarded by the French women's basketball team. The final result of the game also proves that the Chinese women's basketball team is the stronger among the two teams. The score comparisons of the two sides in the fourth quarter were: 25-25, 25-14, 16-19 and 19-13. The final scores of both sides were also frozen at 85-71. The Chinese women's basketball team beat the French women's basketball team with a 14-point advantage and advanced to the semi-finals.
In the entire first half, the competition between the two sides can be said to be divided into two stages. The French women's basketball team obviously has a strong purpose in this game, which is to play fast and disrupt, and prevent the Chinese women's basketball team from having a high chance to play with a high advantage. Moreover, they started from defense, causing the Chinese women's basketball team to make missed offenses and missed the ball. In addition, the French women's basketball team had a very low three-minute shooting rate in the group stage, with only 23% shooting rate. However, in this game, the French women's basketball team was able to quickly attack the inside and make decisive moves at the beginning of the game. The outside three-pointers were also excellent. They made successful three-pointers in the first three-pointers, and four of the first five outside shots. After a round of back and forth between the two sides, even though Li Meng made three three-pointers in the first quarter and successfully played 2+1, Yang Liwei and Huang Sijing also made easy layups with fast attacks, but the French women's basketball team still relied on a buzzer-beating three-pointer to freeze the score between the two sides at 25-25 at the end of the first quarter. In the second quarter of the game, the Chinese women's basketball team's offensive and defensive state was adjusted, and Huang Sijing stood up again in this quarter. She also scored inside and made consecutive three-pointers from the outside. After Li Yuan came on as a substitute, she also scored fast break points, and the organization effect on her teammates was also very obvious. Even if the French women's basketball team was physically advanced, they had great defensive actions, and every time they had an offensive opportunity, they were very determined to take action. This made them be widened in this quarter to 6-8 points, and then narrowed the gap to only 2 points. However, the Chinese women's basketball team relied on internal and external connections again, as well as the players' running, including Yang Liwei's internal and external performance, and opened the gap again, and at the end of the first half, the score was 50-39, maintaining the lead of 11 points. Throughout the first half, three Chinese women's basketball team scored in double digits, among which Huang Sijing and Li Meng scored 12 points at the same time, and Yang Liwei also scored 10 points. Li Yuan also contributed 6 points, while Gabby Williams scored in double digits for the French women's basketball team, and scored 10 points.
If the Chinese women's basketball team was facing difficulties in the first two quarters of the game, Li Meng and Huang Sijing stood up respectively, it was obvious that in the third quarter, the player who performed the best in the Chinese women's basketball team was Li Yuan. Although for most of this quarter, the French women's basketball team relied on active fighting and firm attacks, coupled with the oppressive approach of the defensive end, they kept increasing points and once approached the score to 56-57 with only one point away, after Li Yuan returned to the court, he could not only complete the connection with his inside teammates, but also make a breakthrough and make a foul, and also make an open three-pointer in the outside. In addition, Li Meng's three-pointer at the end of the quarter caused the opponent to foul. After 2 of 3 free throws, the Chinese women's basketball team lost to the French women's basketball team for 3 points in a single quarter, but still maintained an 8-point lead of 66-58. And with such a difference, he entered the fourth quarter of the decisive victory.In the fourth quarter of the game, the Chinese women's basketball team made a mistake in attacking and passing cooperation at the beginning of the game, and the French women's basketball team scored twice in a row, inside and outside. When it was relatively difficult, Han Xu stood up on the court again, and made continuous attacks and mid-range shots in the inside basket, and the score difference between the two sides was also widened to 10 points again. During the difficult moments on the court, Li Meng's three-pointer, Huang Sijing's three-pointer, and Zhang Ru's defense and quick offensive success against the opponent's key attackers gave the Chinese women's basketball team a 14-point lead, which can be said to be the final victory with more than one minute left in the game. Li Meng made another layup at the last moment, freezing the scores of both sides at 85-71. The Chinese women's basketball team beat the French women's basketball team with a 14-point advantage, successfully locking in the third World Cup semi-finals, waiting for the winners of the Australian women's basketball team and the Belgian women's basketball team.
