China's women's basketball team faced a tough 76-63 loss against Australia in a high-energy warm-up game in Haikou on Sunday, marking their first defeat in the pre-Asia Cup series. Despite a strong start from star player Han Xu, who scored 15 points and grabbed 9 rebounds, the team struggled with turnovers and defensive gaps after she left the court. 🏀💥
Australia dominated early, building an 18-point lead by halftime. But China's third-quarter rally—led by Yang Liwei and Luo Xinyu's clutch three-pointers—narrowed the gap to 7 points. Still, Australia's late-game sharpshooting sealed the deal. 🔥
Fans are now eyeing the rematch in Changsha on Tuesday. Can China adjust their strategy? The FIBA Women's Asia Cup 2025 kicks off in Shenzhen next July, and this squad is determined to level up! 🌟
