W. Basketball: scorching Miao registers locals in semi finals

At the final whistle, it was 77-62, a game score in which China’s dominance was ruling all along the game especially after out-rebounding the ladies of Belarus.

As some sports news talked about it as a bombshell result beating all odds, some mentioned that China’s victory was a winning bet against their European opponents, taking the groups standing as a backbone for their analysis.

Dragon nation’s last medal (silver) in women’s basketball was earned back in 1992 in Barcelona after losing the final game in favor of the Soviet Union.

China will more likely mug the Aussies in semi-final, if the Kangaroo ladies over-come New Zealand. That definitely is a gamble that I’m willing to make on sport betting sites; you can’t deny the glorious performance of the Opals who are bidding on a final game against USA.

China’s fans are counting on a shocker that could pull their nation into the finals; they just need to beat a “favorite to win” in women’s basketball in Beijing
