Chinese women's basketball team has lost to the hosts of 2004 Olympics Greece 77-65 in a warm-up match in Athens. The Greeks led through the match. 
 
Though the hosts led most of the first half of the match, the advantage is not so clear, only 39-37 after two quarters.

The Greeks made a 19-0 run in the second half, making an unshakable 70-50 lead before the end.

China hopes to make all the players have chances to play in the match, and also it hopes there is no injury just days before the Olympics.

On Saturday, China will meet its first opponent South Korea in their preliminary group match.
