Asia Women’s Basketball Championship: China defeat South Korea
Beijing: Chinese women defeated their South Korean counterparts with a 74-58 win at FIBA Asia Women’s Basketball Championship here, a media report said.
Following the win on Sunday, China recorded two wins in a row, along with Japan and Chinese Taipei, as per reported.
Shao Ting led Chinese players with 17 points. Chen Xiaojia added 14.
“Naturally I’m very happy to beat such a good team as South Korea. They played very tough and are very good at shooting. I think it’s a terrific result for us,” said China’s head coach Thomas Maher.
China lost to South Korea twice in the last edition two years ago, including a buzzer beater in the opening game.
For China, South Korea is a arch-rival on their way to the champion, and the ticket to Rio Olympics, especially in terms of China’s 11 titles in Asia Women’s Championship history, compared with South Korea’s 12.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
