After the game, Cai Bin, the head coach of the Chinese team, commented on the game: “The third game (team state) was a little fluctuating. We still didn’t suppress the opponent’s offense enough. We didn’t catch the ball in a few opportunities, so the score has been stalemate. , we even fell behind for a while. In the final stage of the game, we adopted the tactic of two points for three points. Her situation is not particularly good, so she decided to exchange two points for three points.”
