China Levels Australia in Basketball Contest
A three pointer from Zhang Jingsong in dying seconds gave China a 87-87 draw against Australia in their first contest of basketball friendly in Taiyuan Wednesday evening.
After losing the first two quarters, the visitors played a fast attacking game in the third and outpointed China 67-63.
In the fourth quarter, China trailed the score to 67-all and 75- all, but they never looked to control the game. Two seconds before the final whistle, Zhang Jingsong jump threw a three pointer and levelled the first match between the two teams.
At the East Asian Games in May, China lost twice to Australia.
