　　The process of this game is also as expected by the outside world. The Chinese women's basketball team has firmly occupied the initiative since the beginning of the game.

By the end of the half, the Chinese women's basketball team had led the opponent by 26 points.

　　The second half of the game was equally uneventful. Facing the steady Chinese women's basketball team, it was difficult for the Puerto Rico team to organize an effective counterattack.
