Final summary
In this game, the Chinese team played two and a half good quarters. In the first quarter and the second half of the third quarter, plus the last quarter, the opponent played well. The opponent's inside line was far inferior to the Chinese team, and they rarely scored in the basket. The success rate is very low whether it is a low post shot or a breakthrough to the basket. However, the opponent's three-point shot is very accurate, with a hit rate of close to 50%. If the Chinese team can prevent the opponent's three-pointer, it has a chance to win. I still need to go back and summarize the game. The intensity of the opponent's confrontation was indeed very strong. The opponent's defense expanded greatly. The Chinese team's defender was once forced to near the midline. It improved in the second half. At least it dared to break through. I hope the Chinese team can be better in the next match between the two sides. progress.
