Defending Champion China sinks New Zealand 67-58

Bengaluru, Oct 29 (UNI) Defending Champion China defeated New Zealand 67-58 in a nail-biting Division A, Group B encounter of the 2018 FIBA Asia Women’s (Under-18) Basketball Championship played at the Sree Kanteerava Indoor Stadium here on Monday.
Mingling Chen, the top scorer with 19 points against Malaysia in the opening game, once again did the star turn for China as she sunk 22 baskets to go right on top of the scoring charts in this second straight win for her team.
The tall Charlotte Whittaker, Charlisse Lebger-Walker and Tayla Dalton led New Zealand’s superb fight against China. In an exciting encounter, the Kiwis made the holders and 15-times winners of the competition sweat it out perhaps like never before. They never allowed the Chinese to enjoy a sizeable lead at any point and themselves produced some brilliant jump shots for two and three pointers to keep within striking distance of the Chinese. The Kiwis led 16-13 at the end of the first quarter. But China pulled up their socks and took the second at 17-11 for an overall lead of 30-27. This after New Zealand had levelled the scores at 27-27 after having trailed 23-27 at one point. Mingling Chen was once again the cynosure and was very well supported by Ziting Tang as she was very swift and accurate in her distribution.
