Hey basketball fans! 🏀 Guess what? The Chinese women’s basketball team just had an amazing game! They beat New Zealand with a score of 85-51 at the FIBA Women’s Asia Cup. 🎉
This big win means China is going to the semifinals as the top team in their group! They won all three of their games, which is super impressive. Now, they will face either Japan or another team in the next round. Exciting, right? 😃
Coach Gong Luming said, “Our team has been working hard together for the past three months. We’re trying different players in new positions, and it’s starting to look good! We still have some things to improve, but we’re getting better every day.”
One of the coolest moments was when 18-year-old Zhang Ziyu came into the game. She scored a basket just eight seconds after stepping onto the court! ⏱️ Everyone cheered loudly! By the end, all 12 players on the Chinese team scored points, which shows how well they work together. 🤝
In another game, South Korea beat Indonesia 95-62. Indonesia was playing in Division A for the first time ever! Even though they didn’t win, they tried their best and showed a lot of courage. 💪
Can’t wait to see what happens next in the semifinals! Who do you think will win the championship? Let us know! 🏆
