In today’s concluded Olympic women’s basketball group stage match, Belgium defeated Japan 85-58, winning by a margin of 27 points, edging out the Chinese women’s basketball team by one point to advance.
In yesterday’s game, the Chinese women’s basketball team had an opportunity to call a timeout for their final attack. Li Yueru signaled for a timeout and substitution, hoping to be put on the court to score more points in the point differential, but her request was denied. The Chinese women’s basketball team missed their final shot, resulting in a 22-point win over Puerto Rico.
Today, needing to win by 27 points to advance, Belgium won by exactly that margin. Although the Chinese women’s basketball team still has a chance to advance, it remains to be seen whether the coaching staff’s decision may have sown seeds of uncertainty.
