The 1st half witnessed 4 major Japanese occasions but none of them found the back of the net. Japs clearly bidding on an early opening to struck the Deutschland’s ego turned into a losing bet; German goal keeper, Nadine, made a terrific job in saving all 4 Geishas’ attempts, especially a long range shot and a ball off the line with the help of her defenders. On the break, the score was 0 to 0 as crowds were expecting a different type and style of playing after watching 45 minutes of ball movement in midfield, filled with a lack of ball control and strategies.

Captain Miao was unstoppable, pulling 28 points in a game high, where Belarus was beaten. The White Russia’s dream is now over, and the march is halted toward the semi-finals.

Dragon nation’s last medal (silver) in women’s basketball was earned back in 1992 in Barcelona after losing the final game in favor of the Soviet Union.
China will more likely mug the Aussies in semi-final, if the Kangaroo ladies over-come New Zealand. That definitely is a gamble that I’m willing to make on sport betting sites; you can’t deny the glorious performance of the Opals who are bidding on a final game against USA.
