(On February this year, China Women’s Basketball beat France with 33 points in FIFA World Cup qualification)
On the 27th, China won the second place in Group A women’s basketball. In the quarter-finals draw that night, the Chinese team won the fourth French team in Group B. The two sides will play at 4 pm Beijing time on September 29. If the Chinese team can win, it will face the winner between Belgium and Australia in the semi-final. On the whole, China women’s basketball was lucky to draw lots this time. Compared with France women’s basketball, it has advantages in many aspects.
The lineup of France’s women’s basketball World Cup is not very strong. After the lack of Gruda and Johannes, France’s women’s basketball is mainly centered on Gaby Williams. The 26-year-old Williams is 1.80 m tall and serves as a defender. She is the main scorer of this French women’s basketball. Williams averaged 15.6 points in the group match. At the same time, Williams’s outside ability is relatively weak, and her average three-point hit rate is only 20%. China women’s basketball has rich and successful defensive experience for attacking players with such characteristics, and I believe this time it will be the same.
France’s internal strength of women’s basketball is not very strong. They have three centers, of which Lu Pitt, who is 1.94 meters tall and only 21 years old, is the main force in this position. However, neither the experience nor the internal technology of Lu Pitt can be compared with Li Yuelu and Han Xu, so the internal advantages of China’s women’s basketball will be shown again. In the World Cup qualifier in February this year, the Chinese team beat France 103-70. Not long ago, China played a warm-up match with the French team during the European Training in women’s basketball, which was reversed by the opponent by 52-58. However, at that time, both Han Xu and Li Yuelu were still fighting in WNBA and were absent at the same time.
Comparing the average game data of the two teams in the World Cup, China’s women’s basketball is more comprehensive, including average game score, rebound, assist, two-point hit rate, three-point hit rate, free throw hit rate, etc, china leads its rivals women’s basketball. It can be seen that it should not be difficult for Chinese women’s basketball to defeat French women’s basketball to enter the top four as long as they play their own characteristics and abilities normally.
