The final whistle sounded and the score was fixed at 70: 77. China's women's basketball team lost to Serbia and missed the promotion. This result made all the women's basketball players burst into tears. They couldn't accept this result, because at the end of the third quarter, they were still 9 points ahead of their opponents, but competitive sports were so cruel. After leading by 9 points, the inexperienced China women's basketball team was completely disorganized and made many mistakes. Serbia seized the opportunity of defensive counterattack.
Compared with old Serbia, this team with an average age of only 25 years old is very young and obviously not tough enough at the critical moment. This is the gap between age and time, which can only be made up by the change of time, so the girls in the women's basketball team don't have to be too sad. This time, they did a good job, winning three games in a row in the group stage and beating Australia and Belgium. I believe they can make a comeback in Paris in three years.
After the game, Li Yueru, the general manager of the team, burst into tears. The 22-year-old China women's basketball insider has done her best. If she hadn't been inside, I believe the China women's basketball team might have collapsed in the first half. She is still young and will have very good development opportunities in the future. This defeat can't prove the failure of the women's basketball team, but let the audience see the team's fighting spirit. These girls can look forward to the future.
After the elimination of the women's basketball team, there was no China team in the three major Olympic Games, but basketball did not lose in this Olympic Games. China women's basketball team won a precious bronze medal in the three-on-three competition. I hope the girls will make persistent efforts, although they are still defeated.
