The Chinese came to this with the following results in the previous tournament: 4-14 (USA), and 8-11 (Brazil), then they played the quarterfinals against Canada 13-13, and passed through thanks to the five-meter shots. In the semifinals, they were defeated 13-6 against USA, and 16-8 in the match for the third place against Australia. In the competition of 7 teams, they ended up third with four defeats and one tie. It so happened that Hungary played against most of those opponent here. But, while the Chinese lose to USA with 10 and 7 difference, the Hungarians defeated them with 7 points difference. The Chinese lost to Australia with 8, the Hungarians defeated the Australians by 6. The Chinese played a tie against Canada, the Hungarians defeated them by 7. Add to that the Hungarian coach statements that they're playing better with each game, and that the Chinese have a young and inexperienced team that could feel tired after playing four matches in four days, anything but Hungary's convincing win would be a big surprise. It's true that they don't need a convincing win, but they didn't need it in the group against much stronger teams, and they defeated them by 6, 7 and 7 points difference. The Chinese lost to Serbia by 12, to Brazil by 3 (8-0 at the halftime, than won the last quarter 5-1), and yesterday to Montenegro. But, the last one's mostly embarrassing for the Montenegrins.
