CHINA VS SERBIA PREDICTION
The psychological factor of coming out second best in a tight match early on at a tournament such as the Olympics cannot be underestimated. With a short turnaround between fixtures, it will be so difficult for China to overcome the frustration and even devastation of losing such a tight contest against Spain.
As low-scoring a match as Serbia’s win over Puerto Rico was, they could well be afforded more joy vs the Chinese defence. However, to lose the fourth quarter by 19 points to 3, almost leading to what would have been a monumental choke, mustn’t be ignored. If China can find a way to shake off the disappointment of Sunday, they boast all the tools needed to get the better of Serbia.
