Serbia - China (65:63)

Serbia have for three quarters been USA's equals

  • Published:

Today the Serbia will, against China, decide which team will take the second place in the D group, and thus gain a somewhat easier opponent in tomorrow's elimination round

Serbia, as was expected, lost against the Americans on Sunday, but far from it that it has disappointed. Marina Maljkovic's chosen ones will face China today to decide who will score the second place in D group of the World Championship. The US have ensured themselves a secure first place and a direct placement into the quarter-finals. Serbia and China will probably go into the elimination round, but it's not important whether they will finish as 2nd or 3rd in the group because the second position will tomorrow face them either against Cuba or Korea, which is a much better choice than Belarus which can hardly pose a threat to Australia.

Serbia have bravely entered the match against the US. In the eighth minute, the Europeans had the lead with 17-13. Ana Dabovic scored a total of 13 points in the first quarter and thus Serbia won the first stage. In the 13th minute the Americans were still falling behind, they used the bad game of their opponents and made 13-3 series. During the half-time, the US were leading with 7 points of difference, and thanks to the high-spirited Milica Dabovic who entered the game in the last 10 minutes, Serbia were only behind with 6 points. At that point the Serbian representation were out of their strength which the physically dominant Americans used against them, created a double-digit difference and in the end won with the advantage of +20, which is probably greater victory than they deserved, considering all we've seen.

-The great US have struggled greatly against little Serbia. These girls have once more shown that they're special and that we need to take care of them. In the last quarter we couldn't keep up with them anymore, which the Americans used against us and, before all, thanks to their individual quality reached victory. Such a game wouldn't have been possible if it had been played by someone who doesn't have a soul, the team chemistry. The girls have shown that, they are growing and I'm really happy to be with them. We have once more shown that pressing is our trademark. We managed to stop the counterattack of our rivals and to somewhat tone down their offensive rebound. They had a lot more rebounds than us, but they didn't overdo us as they do most of their opponents - selector Maljkovic pointed out.

At the end of the day, statistics show us that the US had 32 more rebounds, but Serbia noted only nine lost balls, 12 less than the Americans. In total, the Serbians had more shoots (73) and they had more free throws. The problem was the weak three-pointer (6/23). Ana Dabovic scored 24 points and Milica 12. One of the best players on the court was WNBA's Jelena Milovanovic with 17 points. The Serbian bench managed to score only five points, but despite that, for a good 30 minutes they were equal with the Americans which proves their quality.

Now Serbia is facing China. In the preparation period they've played against the A-teams of Korea and Japan, teams with similar characteristics. Serbia won against Korea 82-78, and they've first lost only to convincingly win against Japan.

China is quality-wise somewhat weaker than their main Asian counterparts, and on the new World Championship they've shown less than Serbia. The Chinese offense is not impressive. However, in the first round against the USA no one was expecting anything, but on Sunday against Angola, probably the weakest team on the tournament, they've only managed to score 65 points. They received 39. Statistics showed that China had 69 shots in-game with 37.7% precision. The three-pointer was 9/28 (32 %).

Up until half-time China received only 15 points and created that much points of difference. In the third stage everything was already decided, so it was noticeable that China weren't playing at their highest intensity level. Selector Thomas Maher had a lot of rotations and calculations, and kept his best players on the bench in the second part of the game.

China were quite good against the USA during one half, Serbia managed one third more than that. The European team are much more experienced than the Asian one who prefer a fast-paced game, and that is what Serbia likes. They will, however, have to keep an eye on the lost balls. The Chinese have a good counter-attack and if the Serbians rise to their level as was the situation against the USA regarding mistakes, they will be much closer to victory.
