A great victory is ultimately achieved by outstanding opponents.
Australian coach Sandy did everything she could, allowing the team to exert all their energy. The score was always biting, and even led the way before the start and end, but still lost. Australia won three quarters in the four quarters, but China took advantage of its huge advantages in the second quarter and strong defense throughout the game to the end of the game.
defeated the host and reached the final with his head held high, and the girls finally began to celebrate.
Beijing time on September 30th at 17:30, Women's Basketball World Cup Chinese Women's Basketball Team defeated Australia 61-59 and advanced to the finals. The scores in the four quarters are: 13-17, 23-13, 11-14, and 14-15.
attack
calculation between the head coaches of both sides.
Sandy's strategy.
When veteran Whitcombe is in full physical fitness, she lets her attack first to gain the lead in the start; after the second game Han Xu exploded, the third game was used to pass the ball and cut the pass line, which made Han Xu unable to get the ball and narrow the score;
In the fourth game, he used passionate and inciting language to mobilize George , allowing this player who was not online in the first three quarters to score 5 points in a row at the critical moment, leading the Chinese team two points at one time; when everything was not smart, he used the natural physical advantages of the Australian people to play misplaced offense and scored to bite the Chinese team.
You are full of tricks, I will defeat the enemy with just one move.
Zheng Wei's strategy
Zheng Wei's guidance from beginning to end made the team insist on tough defense and strong point offense. When the thigh Li Meng cannot play, Han Xu's role is promoted to the extreme on both offense and defense, and captain Yang Liwei replaces Li Meng, so that she can play the strongest battle; Jin Weina, who had not played much time before, played 30 points, and received miraculous results without any doubt.
consistently kept the team under high pressure while defending, and finally waited for Whitcombe's ultimate judgment-style foul, and the Chinese team was able to laugh to the end!
wins the lead
Australia scored three-pointers at the beginning, and the scores ranged from 5 to 2 to 8 to 4, leading all the way; Li Yueru uses personal singles to catch up, changing the weak way of playing in the past, and daring to attack one-on-one.
I can do it, I can't let you do it.
Sandy lets his team score three-pointers on the offensive end and exerts morale; while on the defensive end, the focus on the outside is on the defense.
first expands the defense outside, letting Wang Siyu break in, using center and defense restrictions; while Huang Sijing , which performed well before, had a death-wrapped control, made 0 of 4 shots in a single quarter, and the Chinese team's outside line was stuck.
Zhang Ru 4 made a second foul at the beginning, and Zheng Wei boldly activated Jin Weina, who had very little appearance time before.
13-17 The first quarter ended, and the Chinese team fell behind by four points. This was one of the fewest starts since the Chinese women's basketball team participated in the World Cup, and this score was also the first quarter against the United States.
Sandy may think her strategy has been a phased success. In fact, the first quarter was as expected by Zheng Wei, because after he made Han Xu play unlimitedly, he didn't play until half a minute at the end of the quarter, which showed that she was confident.
Li Yueru played for one more minute to win a better chance for Han Xu, because this means that his opponent will consume more physical strength. Just like the blocking troops on the battlefield gaining more attack time for the main attack team.
dominating both offense and defense
Han Xu quickly dominated both offense and defense after appearing, and picked and rolled up and found gaps, scoring with two-pointers he was good at. When Wang Siyu hit a three-pointer under Han Xu's cover, the Chinese team was only two points behind in 20-18, and the
three-pointer opened, and a stone in the heart of the fans fell to the ground. Han Xu continued to use two accurate two-pointers to hit the heart of the coach of the club he played for 20-20.
Yang Liwei also made a three-pointer, and the Chinese team took the lead 26-23.
In addition to two points in the offense, Han Xu also received three blocks on the defensive end, making the already terrified Australian inside even more panic.
36-30 The second quarter ended, and the Chinese team won 10 points in a single quarter.
Under such a strong confrontation, Australia's inside line collapsed first, veteran Whitcomm was very dissatisfied. Has anyone seen center George and Tolo missed three empty baskets at the basket?
competition was introduced into Zheng Wei's preset battlefield - a hand-to-hand battle, and every point I got was extremely difficult.
I boldly estimated that Whitconi made such an early effort, and it was impossible for Australia to still want to stage a magical scene at the Olympics in the fourth quarter.
changes
The third quarter game, Magbego attacked the inside and scored six points in a row. This time, Li Yueru could not buy more time for Han Xu, and he only played more than two minutes before the game was over.
Han Xu continued to output strong firepower at the beginning of his debut, temporarily suppressing Australia's counterattack.
Han Xu restricted Magbego, but Sandy also adjusted her defensive strategy, so Han Xu could not receive the ball.
47-44, the Chinese team has only three points in the lead, which makes people feel anxious.
started to double-team Han Xu in this quarter. The back-head snatch no longer gives Han Xu an easy shooting opportunity after pick-and-roll, and the Chinese team's offense also became very difficult. He only scored 11 points in a single quarter.
Decisive Battle
In the first two and a half minutes of the fourth quarter, the Chinese team fell into a scoring drought again, while Australia scored two points, with only one point difference, which should be the most difficult time.
7th minute and 27th of the game, Jin Weina used Han Xu to cover the inside, scored two points, and finally unveiled the scoring seal; then Wang Siyu also scored with a breakthrough, and the gap between 51-46 was widened to 5 points.
score waste is sometimes like a layer of window paper once it is poked open, a piece of light shines in, instantly dispelling the nervous demon. At the 6th minute and 54th minute of the
game, Sandy called a timeout, and a passionate word mobilized the team's emotions, especially George's eyes showed firmness, which allowed her to stand up at a critical moment and scored 5 points.
51-51, the two teams drew, and this time it was Zheng Wei's turn to call a timeout.
Wu Tongtong's performance was the most disappointing. She squeezed out space at the basket but failed to hit it, and once she shook the opponent's large open three-pointer and smashed the basket out.
tied and was overtaken again. Australia continuously used the big and small scores caused by the transmission, and the Chinese team was behind 53 to 55. Yang Liwei made a foul and made two free throws, 55-55, but there was no progress in a fast break.
Referees began to play a role. The previous first half penalty was very fair, and it played a role in time. George elbowed Wang Siyu and did not call a foul. Whitcomb blocked the violation of the body and only judged a normal foul. However, compared with the confusing penalty of Men's Basketball Asian Cup , Chinese fans have learned to get used to these physical penaltys. We should thank them for their most of the time.
The last deadly moment has come. The Chinese team used defense to make Australia come back in vain, 59-59.
The game entered the final attack, Yang Liwei scored a sudden point, Whitcombe intercepted Wang Siyu for a foul, and walked to the free throw line with 3.4 seconds left, calm and calm. After the first point of the free throw, there was still leisure to remind teammates to get stuck. The second ball was hollow into the net, which was the demeanor of a general. In the last 3.4 seconds, the defense withstood Magbego, causing the opponent's buzzer to collapse.
whistle sounded, and the girls laughed and celebrated the victory happily on the court. They all know that because of the dominance of the American women's basketball team, the suspense of women's basketball team ended in the semi-finals, and the final was just a performance.
