China's women's basketball team delivered a slam-dunk performance Tuesday, defeating South Korea 91-69 at the FIBA Women's Asia Cup! Rising stars Han Xu (18 points) and 226cm phenom Zhang Ziyu (18 points) combined forces to power the defending champions through a gritty Group B showdown in Shenzhen. 🌟
The game started slower than a TikTok buffering, with both teams missing easy baskets for nearly two minutes. But when 23-year-old forward Luo Xinyu started grabbing rebounds like they were limited-edition sneaker drops, China found its groove. Zhang's towering presence in the paint had South Korea scrambling – though they tried exploiting her mobility with long-range shots like An He-ji's epic first-quarter buzzer-beater. 🎯
Drama hit when South Korean center Park Ji-su injured her shoulder defending against Zhang, but the veteran returned after halftime treatment. China's young squad ultimately proved too strong, showing why they're Asia's team to beat. 🏆
With this win, China cements its position as a basketball powerhouse while giving fans major 2024 Paris Olympics vibes. Who's ready for more high-flying action? 🚀
