Teams Preview
Chinese Taipei Preview
Chinese Taipei's previous outing was a 52–80 loss to Japan in the semifinal. Japan controlled the game from the opening quarter, taking a 20–11 lead, and extended the advantage in every quarter to complete a 28-point victory.
Chinese Taipei managed only 29% field-goal shooting, while Japan's defensive pressure made it difficult for Taipei to generate efficient scoring opportunities.LIN Yu-Ting led Chinese Taipei with 9 points, shooting 3/11 from the field, along with 4 assists.
HUANG Hsiang-Ting scored 8 points, while PENG Szu-Chin also contributed 8 points. HUANG Ling-Chuan added 7 points, and PENG Hsiao-Tong scored 7. Hsiao Yu-Wen, who had produced a 14-point, 17-rebound double-double in the quarterfinal, was held to just 5 points against Japan.
Chinese Taipei need to improve their offensive efficiency and establish Hsiao Yu-Wen inside early, rather than relying heavily on difficult perimeter attempts. Their guards should move the ball quickly and use penetration to force China's defense to collapse before looking for kick-outs.
Defensively, Taipei will have to bring help against China's enormous interior presence while still rotating back to shooters. The key will be avoiding turnovers, controlling defensive rebounds and creating a faster offensive rhythm than they managed against Japan.
Chinese Taipei on average score 73.6 points per game they score 43.2% from the field and 36.7% from the arc. Chinese Taipei grab 46 rebounds per game .
China Preview
China's previous outing was an 80–85 defeat to Republic of Korea in the other semifinal. China led 19–17 after the first quarter and extended the advantage to 41–36 at halftime. They remained ahead 65–61 entering the fourth quarter, but Korea produced a strong fourth-quarter comeback, outscoring China 24–15 to reach the final.
ZHANG Ziyu leading China with 22 points, shooting an outstanding 10/11 from the field (91%) and 10/11 on two-point attempts, while also recording 2 assists and 1 offensive rebound. LUO Xinyu scored 17 points on 7/10 shooting, while YANG Shuyu added 15 points on 7/13 shooting. TANG Ziting contributed 9 points, and WANG Siyu had 8 points and 10 assists, giving China an important playmaking performance despite her 1/10 shooting.
China should look to establish Zhang Ziyu in the paint from the opening possessions, where her 10/11 shooting against Korea demonstrates the efficiency she can provide around the basket. Once Chinese Taipei send help toward Zhang, China can use Luo Xinyu, Yang Shuyu and Wang Siyu to move the ball around the perimeter and create open opportunities.
Defensively, China should use their size to protect the paint, dominate the defensive glass and force Taipei's guards into contested shots. Limiting second-chance opportunities for Hsiao Yu-Wen will also be important.
People's Republic of China on average score 97.5 points per game they score 38.2% from the field and 28.6% from the arc. People's Republic of China grab 33 rebounds per game .
