After a big victory over the Lebanese women's basketball team, the Chinese women's basketball team welcomed two consecutive victories in the Asian Cup today - the Chinese girls defeated the New Zealand team 80-46. In this game, the Chinese women's basketball team had extremely high defensive efficiency, with an opponent's team shooting rate of less than 30%. In the third quarter, the Chinese women's basketball team even defeated their opponent with a score of 32-7, securing the victory early on. On the 28th Beijing time, the Chinese women's basketball team will face the South Korean women's basketball team.
In the first round of the group stage, the Chinese women's basketball team defeated Lebanon 89-44, achieving a good start. The New Zealand team narrowly defeated the South Korean team 66-64, achieving a crucial victory. In this match, the starting lineup of the Chinese women's basketball team remained unchanged, with Li Meng, Han Xu, Yang Liwei, Pan Zhenqi, and Wang Siyu continuing to start. The New Zealand team did not arrange for the main inner line Davidson to appear. She played the full game against South Korea, scoring 24 points, and was rested for the game.
At the beginning of the game, the Chinese women's basketball team was generally slow and hot on the offensive end, with a low three-point shooting percentage and poor offensive efficiency. Pan Zhenqi is a key player leading the Chinese women's basketball team in the first quarter. She pitched from the inside out and scored 7 points, leading the team by 5 points 18-13, while other key players performed poorly.
In this situation, the head coach of the Chinese team, Zheng Wei, did not arrange for more main players to play in the second quarter, but instead gave the substitute more playing time, which also had a good effect - newcomer Luo Xinyu hit three pointers in his first shot, and Tang Yu also scored in the interior. All 12 players of the Chinese women's basketball team appeared, and Zheng Wei wanted to adjust the team's form through more personnel rotation. In the third quarter, the main players of the Chinese team made continuous efforts, with Han Xu and Wang Siyu scoring three pointers, and Yang Liwei scoring consecutive counterattacks, opening the game with a score of 14-5 and widening the gap to 22 points.
After the pause, the New Zealand team still couldn't score, while the Chinese women's basketball team further expanded their advantage, winning the opponent by 25 points with a score of 327 in a single quarter. Li Meng's continuous efforts became the key to securing the victory. Not only did she score 10 points in a single quarter, but she also assisted her teammates in scoring three times, helping the team widen the gap.
Although New Zealand's Hunter hit three points in a row in the fourth quarter, the Chinese women's basketball team won two consecutive victories because of the big difference.
Tomorrow, Beijing time, the Chinese women's basketball team will face its old rival South Korea women's basketball team. Whether the whole team can change the old problem of slow start is one of the highlights. In addition, whether Li Meng, Yang Liwei and Han Xu can get back to their best state will also be of great significance to the next Asian Cup of the Chinese women's basketball team. If the successful victory, the Chinese women's basketball team will directly lock the Asian Cup four seats.
