Women basketball: USA strikes again!! No mercy for New Zealand

August 18th, 2008

As ferocious as the men’s team, ladies of the United States are showing no kindness against any team, giving everything they got to crash any opponent. This time, it was New Zealand’s time to get on knees.

96-60, a diversity of 36 points took the undefeated in group B and 3 times champion into the quarter finals in what’s expected to be a trouble-free game against Koreans.

Kiwis that were forced into 21 turnovers couldn’t stop the waves of offensive strength and smashing into their rim; 4 basketball jerseys from US ladies scored in double figures: Tina Thompson reached 15, Katie Smith 13, Seimone 12 and Catchings 11. Promising young Center Fowles added 8 points and 6 rebounds to support her team mates.

Anne Donovan, Yankees coach expressed her thrilled attitude towards her team, especially when it comes to the player’s concentration from the 1st seconds until the last ones, despite the score’s difference. 

Looking at former results in Beijing’s Olympics, the USA looks much more trustful, and is definitely a winning bet in this game. Basketball tickets are almost sold out for the next games to come; sports news is highly contributing in sales, due to their effect on TV viewers and readers.
