On August 7, in the first quarterfinal match of the Olympic women’s basketball tournament, Australia triumphed over Serbia with an 85-67 victory, securing a strong advance into the semifinals.
Alanna Smith, playing for the WNBA’s Lynx and a key player for Australia, delivered an outstanding performance, scoring 22 points, grabbing 13 rebounds, and providing 4 assists. Her consistent excellence significantly contributed to Australia’s decisive win.
The FIBA official account also praised Smith’s performance:
“Alanna Smith! What have you just done?
A truly unbelievable stat line, leading the Opals (Australia’s women’s national team nickname) to the semifinals.”
In the semifinals, Australia’s women’s basketball team is likely to face the United States. Notably, the U.S. head coach is Coach Reeve, who is also the head coach of the Lynx. The upcoming mentor-protege matchup promises to be particularly intriguing.
