On the 4th, Beijing time, in the quarter-finals of the Tokyo Olympics women's basketball team, the Chinese women's basketball team lost 70:77 to the Serbian women's basketball team, but unfortunately stopped in the quarterfinals.

  When the final whistle sounded, the women's basketball girls standing in the field had no eyesight, and the head coach Xu Limin looked at them silently. At this moment, everyone had mixed feelings.

  With the first strong team to qualify, this campaign once led by 9 points, but suffered a crash in the fourth quarter, the departure of the Chinese women's basketball team, caught off guard.

On August 4, local time, in the 1/4 finals of the Olympic women's basketball team, the Chinese women's basketball team was 70:77 and the Serbian women's basketball team missed the semifinals.

After the third quarter, the Chinese women's basketball team led by 9 points, but the opponents played a wave of offensive surpassing the score at the beginning of the final game, and the Chinese women's basketball team regrettably lost.

  Five years ago, in the last round of the Rio Olympics women's basketball group match, the Chinese women's basketball team faced the US women's basketball team.

In the first 12 minutes of the game, the Chinese team scored only 12 points, while the US team scored close to 40 points.

  The disparity in performance in the game caused the Brazilian spectators on the scene to make huge boos every time the US team got the ball. Perhaps this is the psychology of "sympathizing for the weak".

  I don't know how the players on the field and the audience in front of the TV felt at the time, but one thing is certain, such sympathy is not what we want.

On the evening of July 30, the Tokyo Olympic women's basketball team continued. The Chinese women's basketball team, which won the first match, faced Australia.

After four quarters of fierce competition, the Chinese team won 76:74 narrowly, achieved two consecutive victories and advanced to the quarterfinals.

  The Chinese women's basketball team did not sink into this situation. In the Tokyo cycle, they completed the transition between the old and the new. Young players such as Han Xu, Li Yueru, and Li Meng became the mainstay of the team.

Although there is still a certain gap with the top teams, the Chinese women's basketball team is increasingly bringing back news of victory.

  At the beginning of last year, the new crown epidemic broke out, and at that time, the Chinese women's basketball team was participating in the Olympic qualifying games.

  The psychiatrist of the Chinese team Huang Jing said when mobilizing the girls: "The lion king and tiger king in the mountains are not elected. They follow the law of the jungle, and the strong is the king. Our Chinese women's basketball team has been honed for four years. Today, it has begun to have steel teeth and sharp teeth."

In the Olympic qualifying competition, the Chinese women's basketball team was in the same group as the British, Spanish, and South Korean teams, and finally successfully won Olympic tickets.

  Sure enough, the Chinese women's basketball team showed "steel teeth and sharp teeth", winning streaks against Britain, Spain and South Korea and winning Olympic tickets.

Such a victory brought great encouragement to the people who were shrouded in the shadow of the epidemic at that time.

  As Huang Jing said: "When a person needs to stand up, it is brave; when a team needs to come forward, it is called responsibility; when a country is in adversity and calls for a spirit, it is mission and faith. , Is to move forward!"

  With such indomitable progress, the girls also brought Tokyo.

Three consecutive victories in the group stage to advance, and defeats will include strong teams such as Australia and Belgium.

  In the game against Australia, Wang Siyu collided with his opponent shortly after the opening, bleeding on his forehead.

But she insisted on continuing the game, "I really didn't feel the pain, but it made me think it was suggesting that I should stand up." In that game, she scored 20 points and 5 rebounds.

  Chinese fans have not seen such a refreshing basketball game for a long time.

After the last match of the group stage, the Chinese team players and coaches draped around each other. Head coach Xu Limin said: "Go forward! Go forward! Whoever loves you behind! Give me a charge!"

  Before the Olympics, Xu had an Achilles tendon injury, he had to travel in a wheelchair, and he had to wear protective boots when directing the game.

But this didn't affect him in the least while leading the girls in the Tokyo Olympics.

  In the first knockout match, the Chinese women's basketball team ushered in a tough battle.

The opponent is the Rio Olympics third runner-up Serbia.

  It was not easy for the Chinese women's basketball team to play in this game. The opponents continued to suppress in the first half and were always behind. In the late third quarter of the second half, the Chinese team once scored 9 points with Sun Mengran's three-pointers and Wang Siyu's "2+1". Lead.

  However, entering the fourth quarter, the Chinese women's basketball team suddenly cut off power and was hit by an 11-0 bombardment wave by the opponent. Although the women's basketball girls struggled to chase after the points, it was still difficult to recover the defeat.

After the third quarter, the Chinese women's basketball team led by 9 points, but the opponents played a wave of offensive surpassing the score at the beginning of the final game, and the Chinese women's basketball team regrettably lost.

  But the ending is set, the Chinese women's basketball team can only sum up experience and set off again.

As Xu Limin once said to the players: "I believe you."
