It was a slam dunk weekend in Singapore! The Chinese mainland's men's and women's 3×3 teams powered through pool play at the FIBA 3×3 Basketball Asia Cup, earning their spots in the quarterfinals.
On the men's court, the dynamic quartet—Guo Hanyu, Yan Peng, Zhang Dianliang, and Xiang Zhichao, stars from the Chinese 3×3 Super League—put on a show. They kicked off with a commanding 21-10 win over Chinese Taipei. In a nail-biting clash against India, the score was tied at 17-17 heading into the final minute, when Guo's clutch two-point jumper sealed the win. Next up, they face No. 2 seeds Qatar from Pool D.
The women's team, full of fresh talent with an average age under 23, experienced both heartbreak and triumph. After a razor-thin 18-17 loss to last year's runners-up New Zealand, they bounced back with a confident 19-12 win over South Korea, showcasing their size advantage and solid defense under the rim. They now set their sights on a quarterfinal showdown with Vietnam.
This tournament is heating up with thrilling moments and unforgettable finishes. Stay tuned for more action as the courts light up with intense battles and rising stars! 🏀🔥
