Sydney, June 27 (Ians) An aggressive China started their quest to end a 12-year title drought at the Fiba Women’s Basketball Asia Cup with a crushing 89-44 victory over Lebanon, here.
After finishing runners-up at last year’s World Cup, world No.2 China returned to Sydney Olympic Park in style as they eye winning Asia’s continental championship for the first time since 2011, reports Xinhua.
Towering Han Xu was unstoppable inside the paint to finish with 17 points and 10 rebounds, while Li Meng, who starred at last year’s World Cup, had 12 points, five assists, and four rebounds.
