China's women's basketball team just leveled up their game with a 72-66 victory over Brazil in Changsha this weekend! 🎉 After an intense overtime win two days prior, this second triumph proves they're ready to bring the heat to Wednesday's FIBA World Cup qualifiers in Wuhan.
Brazil came out swinging with Kamilla Cardoso dropping 23 points, but China's dynamic duo Liu Yutong (17 pts, 7 rebounds) and 19-year-old phenom Zhang Ziyu (11 pts in 13 mins!) turned the court into their playground. The game flipped when China unleashed a 🔥20-9 second-quarter run that left fans roaring!
"Our defense became the offense," coach Zheng Wei told reporters post-game, highlighting how China shut down Brazil's fast breaks. With both teams now heading to Wuhan for qualifiers, this friendly rivalry is about to get REAL serious. Who's ready for round three? 💪
