In overtime, the Chinese women's basketball team grabbed 2 points at the last moment, watched the time run out, and finally lost to the opponent 89-90.

The Serbia women's basketball team defeated the Puerto Rico women's basketball team 58-55 in the first game. This game is very important for both teams, and the Chinese women's basketball team must win if it wants to qualify, otherwise there is little hope of qualifying. The Chinese women's basketball team took the initiative to change and adjusted the starting lineup, Wang Siyu started, Li Yuan was substituted, and the other 4 were Yang Liwei, Li Meng, Zhang Ru and Li Yueru.

At the beginning of the first quarter, Wang Siyu's pass was broken, Jankovic counterattacked and scored a layup, Wang Siyu made a layup and made 2 fouls and 2 free throws, and Anderson made a successful inside throw; The shooting rate of the Chinese women's basketball team in this game is not high, and the operation is not very smooth, but the advantage of the interior line is obvious. Wang Siyu burst into the interior and scored another 2 points by throwing himself and grabbing himself, covering the team's first 4 points; After the opening, Li Yueru has not yet gotten a chance to shoot, and her role is more to create space for her teammates to break through; Zhang Ru and Wang Siyu cut 5 points in a row, but Serbia also responded in time; At 11-12, Serbia scored 4 points in a row to stop the Chinese team; This timeout also had an effect, returning Huang Sijing hit a 3-pointer and Han Xu continued with a 3-pointer, but it could not prevent Serbia from scoring; At the end of the first quarter, the Chinese team fell behind by 6 points 17-23;

In the second quarter, Han Xu scored 4 points in consecutive fouls, and then Serbia also returned a wave of 4-0; Serbia increased its defense in this section, expanded the scope of defense, and even took the front court to press, Wang Siyu hit the key 3 points, and the score of the two sides was very tight; Huang Sijing found the inside line Li Yueru, who scored an easy layup to equalize the score, and Serbia called a timeout; After the timeout, Serbia continued to exert strength on the outside, while actively competing for frontcourt rebounds, gradually widening the point difference, and the Chinese women's basketball team was still 6 points behind at halftime 39-45;

The Serbia women's basketball team shot 16 of 33 in the half, including 5 of 6 three-pointers, and the hand was quite hot; The Chinese women's basketball team only hit 4 of 15 3-point shots, the outside line can't compare, and the inside advantage is not maximized, and it is reasonable that the score is behind. But in an interview after the game, Wang Chuqin believed that changing the racket was not the reason for the loss, but mainly because of his poor performance.

Yibian fights again, and Serbia continues to feel hot in this section. Although the outside shooting was reduced, a large number of mid-range shooting opportunities were created through active running, and the shooting rate exceeded 50% again on 10-of-19 shooting in a single quarter! On the defensive end, the Serbia women's basketball team continued to carry out high-intensity defense, using joint defense to limit the attack of the Chinese team, and the effect was also very obvious, and the point difference was constantly widened! At the end of the third quarter, the Chinese women's basketball team fell behind by 12 points 50-62;

At the beginning of the last quarter, Anderson broke into the inside and scored a rebound, and Nokic made a layup, and the difference came to 16 points! After that, the score difference continued to be widened, and the Chinese team used up the last timeout, and there was no timeout for more than 6 minutes! Li Meng hit a 3-pointer, but the backcourt rebounds were robbed continuously, and the whole game could not improve this link; After that, the Chinese women's basketball team hoped to chase the score as soon as possible through 3 points, but the feeling was not good, and the score difference was once widened to 20+. In the end, the defeat was unable to be reversed, and the score was fixed at 59-81. After losing this game, the last game is a do-or-die match, but the hope is slim.
