At Foshan’s GBA Sports Center on Saturday, Guangdong rolled past Sichuan 74-68 to claim women’s basketball gold at the Chinese mainland’s 15th National Games. 🎉
Guard Yang Shuyu was unstoppable, dropping a game-high 22 points. She ignited the action early with a slick feed to Chen Mingling for a layup, then watched Yang Liwei drain a three to give the co-hosts a 12-8 edge.
Sichuan rallied in the second quarter, with Li Yuan dishing to Gao Song for a deep three that tied it at 28. But Guangdong answered back before halftime: Chen powered to the rim, and Yang hit another triple to spark an 11-0 run, blowing the lead into double digits.
In the third, Gao hit her second triple, cutting the gap to eight. Yet Yang’s blazing offense couldn’t be stopped—she sliced through the defense for an easy layup, and Guangdong maintained control till the final buzzer.
With this victory, Guangdong tops the podium, and fans in Foshan are still buzzing over the golden performance. 🥳
