Korea: An Expected Victory
On October 1st, the women's basketball group stage of the 19th Asian Games Hangzhou continued in the Hangzhou Olympic Sports Centre. The Korean women's basketball team won at 87-59 against the Chinese Taipei team, frontline player Kim Danbi scored the highest 18 points.
Korea and Taipei have confronted each other twice in history, both of which have ended up with Korea’s winning. The latest situation of the Korean team, which has won 4 and lost 6, is also slightly better than that of the Taipei, which has won 2 and lost 8. This time, the Taipei team still failed to rewrite their history of losing to Korea.
The 28-point difference is due to the Korea’s tough defense and vigorous attack. Even though the Korean team seemed to have looked down on their opponents at the beginning of the game and have once been the lagger, they adjusted their state in a timely manner, with high-pressure and tough physical confrontation, making every point scored by the Taipei women's basketball team particularly difficult. At the end of the game, Taipei was exhausted by the pressure from Korea and made multiple turnovers, providing Korea with many good opportunities to score. The mentality change of the Taipei team resulted in their failure to score three-point shots, which directly led to their loss.
After the match, the Korean team advanced to the quarter finals with 3 wins, 0 losses, and 6 points, while the Taipei side was eliminated for the third place in the group with 1 win, 2 losses, and 4 points.
