Second, trailing by double digits in the first quarter, Japan had declared an early exit.
Japan's outside chaos against Germany will surely continue to happen today as Japan's point guard, Asuka Yamamoto, continues to miss time due to a concussion.
The fundamental reason for seeded Belgium's downfall at the Paris Olympics was the injury retirement of point guard god Almande before the start of the Games, which added to the chaos of Belgium's offensive organization.
The helplessness in the face of Sabally was ostensibly due to the hardness of both teams inside. In fact, to put it bluntly, it was because of the shortness on the outside that the team could not respond on the offensive end.
Japan, which continued to gamble on three-pointers, started the game with consecutive iron shots, but the inferior outside dimensions completely dumbed down the Japanese offense. Instead, Belgium threw down a 5-3 three-pointer and opened the gap to double digits early.
We have to recognize that basketball is still a big sport, and Isao Kawamura is indeed one of the very few, from Japan's three-point eating, to the Belgian outsider who shot less than 20% from three in the first two games.
At the end of the first quarter, Belgium was leading 19:7 and Japan was already out of the game early.
Third, Belgium's 27 wins basically means an early exit for the Chinese women's basketball team.
In the second quarter, Belgium played inside and outside. The gap widened to 16 points after halftime. As the gap grew wider, Chinese fans started to get fuzzy because if Belgium could win by 26 points over Japan, China was basically out of the game.
Today's game was very similar to the World Qualifier game between Singapore and Thailand. Chinese fans have never cheered for Singapore, just like today for the first time they wanted the Japanese women's basketball team to win or lose less.
Belgium raised the difference to 22 points in the third quarter, and the Chinese women's basketball team was at stake.
Halfway through the 4th quarter, Belgium's lead reached 27 points as Japan went in guns blazing.
Obviously, the Japanese team chose not to be able to hit the deer nor let the deer graze.
Belgium's last 28 thrashed Japan to advance to the last eight.
Due to the Belgian coast, the Chinese women's basketball team has actually been out of the game in advance, because the battle for the third place in Group B, more will be played in accordance with the set, so that the Chinese women's basketball team want to cry.
Not to mention Brother Sunny here who makes Singaporean coconut milk rice.
Those basketball celebrities who are optimistic that China's women's basketball team will meet Bai Qiun are indeed cute and innocent.
Today is August 4, and we should remember this day, a day when Chinese basketball experienced a real crotch-rape, just like 33 years ago on November 30, when Saudi Arabia 0. The :5 loss to New Zealand left the Chinese men's soccer team at the mercy of others from then on.
More importantly, it was Japanese basketball that started the day and made it even more painful for Chinese fans.
Today, Chinese fans are worried about the dispute between Belgium and Japan, which is eight shots away. In fact, to put it bluntly, it's the absolute aftermath of the Chinese women's basketball team losing a good game in Game 1 and losing in overtime to Spain.
But any accomplished defender who was a World Cup runner-up would be normal, and wouldn't appear to be looking down his nose at someone else's face today.
Since then, Zheng Wei and the Chinese women's basketball team she led have been nailed to the pillar of shame of Chinese basketball.
Hopefully, all this will not be the beginning of the Chinese footballization of Chinese basketball.
