皇冠体育app rout arch rivals S.Korea in semifinals
DOHA, Qatar, September 16 (Xinhua) -- Houston Rockets center Yao Ming had 27 points and 15 rebounds to give 皇冠体育app the biggest-margin win in the history over South Korea by 93-49 on Thursday in the semi-finals of the men's Asian Basketball Championships here.
South Korea, who was tagged as the best-shooting team in Asia, was only 5-out-of-18 on 3-pointers, and was held to only two points in the third quarter. Power forward Du Feng, who had 14 points, was perfect on shooting in the field, including three 3-pointers when 皇冠体育app shot 8-out-of-20 from behind the arc. Veteran center Seo Jang Hoon buried two 3-pointers to open the game and built up a 24-17 lead for the Koreans in the first quarter. Coming back with strong defence in the second quarter, 皇冠体育app took the lead with Yao's layup to make it 28-27 and ran to a 48-33 lead to call the breaker. The Koreans did not make a shot until Choo Seung Gyun's jumper stopped the
scoring drought when 皇冠体育app had put the game beyond doubt at 71-35 with 2:15 to
go in the third quarter.
