The Canadians faced the Chinese four times this summer and they've won all four times (71-59, 74-62, 82-63 in Edmonton, 74-58 in France). The last year's Asian championship showed how China's game is getting worse. They didn't win the title, they've lost to the Japanese twice, by 35 in the final. They're coming to Rio with the same lineup. Besides Canada, they've also lost to other renown teams (Australia, France, Spain, Brazil). The Canadians aren't the best team in the world, but they're making progress with each year. They've beaten France twice this time, once in France, and Australia once, which proves their value. They've beaten China for the fifth place in the WC two years ago. The Chinese can only perhaps beat Senegal in this group. Their duels against Canada showed how much they struggle against the defensively firm Canadian style, as well as any other serious team this summer.
