Just after the Chinese Men's Basketball Team made a historical win over Croatia and advanced to the Olympic semifinals, on August 5th, the Chinese Women's Basketball Team defeated the Cuban Women's Basketball Team in the semifinals, marking their historical advancement to the Olympic finals.
Unlike the men's team, the Chinese Women's team players have a well-balanced strength, with Zheng Hai Xia as the absolute core, but she cannot dominate the game like Gan Guoyang.
Four players from China Team scored in double figures, and all 10 players who played scored, with a final score of 109:70, securing an easy victory over Cuba and advancing to the finals.
The women's team's opponent in the finals was not the powerful America but the Unified Team from the other semifinal that had beaten Team USA.
The Soviet Union had disbanded, but the Unified Team retained enough basketball talent, and when combined, they still formed a strong force.
