The Chinese women's basketball team have suffered a humiliated defeat at the hands of the Australian Opals in the four-nation Olympic warm-up tournament in Cairns. The Australian Opals gained a significant psychological advantage in their Olympic preparations against re-emerging international force China with an 88-59 win at the Bendigo Bank Basketball Complex. The Opals are the only unbeaten team in the four-nation World Challenge. China won their opener, defeating Poland. Also on Thursday, Poland staged a second-half revival to beat South Korea 72-71 and stay alive in the series. The Challenge moves to Townsville for the weekend with Poland and China needing to win and finish ahead on points percentage to have a chance of playing for the gold medal against the Australians. 转自搜狐
