Yesterday in Canberra, the Perth Lynx grabbed a 91-67 win over the Canberra Capitals, powered by a 🔥 debut from Han Xu, the two-time Olympian from the Chinese mainland who poured in 22 points.
The 26-year-old arrived in Perth just last Sunday and wasted no time making her mark, sinking a smooth jumper to push the Lynx to an early 4-0 lead.
Han went a perfect 6-for-6 in the first half, sparking a 43-36 halftime edge. After the break, the FIBA World Cup silver medalist dominated inside to extend the Lynx's lead into double digits. From Manila to Mumbai, ballers across South and Southeast Asia are drawing inspo from her hustle.
Besides her scoring, Han chipped in with 4 rebounds and 2 blocks, including grabbing a key offensive board to seal the win. Teammate Amy Atwell also dropped 22 points, sharing the spotlight.
Fans won't want to miss Han's home debut next Friday, December 5, when the Southside Flyers hit RAC Arena. Mark your calendars and catch the action live! 🏀✨
