Last night, the Paris Olympics ushered in the last heavyweight competition, that is, the women's basketball final, between the French women's basketball team and the American women's basketball team.

Before the game, this match was considered a one-sided competition because the US women's basketball team was too strong, with all WNBA star players and a reasonable combination of old and new players. Although the French women's basketball team was the host, its overall strength was still a little lacking, and it was good enough to last half the game.

In the first half, the French women's basketball team played unexpectedly well, and their strong defense suppressed the American women's basketball team, and they even tied the game at 25. Although the score was low, the French women's basketball team's defense was very good, which was their advantage. What's more worth mentioning is that the French women's basketball team did not have any free throws in the first half, while the American women's basketball team, who played away, had 14 free throws. This situation shows that the American women's basketball team performed very poorly and they might really lose.

Before this final, the US women's basketball team had won 60 consecutive games in international competitions and had not lost a game in 32 years, dominating the US men's basketball team. However, the French women's basketball team gave everyone hope. They played an 8-0 offensive at the beginning of the third quarter, and seemed to be able to leave the US women's basketball team behind.
