Right from the start, Luo Xinyu and Yang Shuyu fired off early three-pointers to put China on the attack, jumping to a quick 13-2 lead. Coach Gong Luming mixed things up with innovative lineups—switching between a nimble small-ball unit and a robust twin-tower setup featuring Han Xu and Zhang Ziyu—laying the foundation for a memorable performance.
The second quarter saw guard Wang Siyu take charge, slicing through defenses with slick drives and smothering pressure that ballooned the lead to 58-29 by halftime.
