New Zealand beats China 90-69 at basketball cup
HARBIN, Northeast China, July 21 -- New Zealand defeated China 90-69 for its second victory in the Intercontinental Men's Basketball Champion of 2005 here on Thursday. The visitors led from the beginning and finished the first quarter 23-14. Point guard Phillip Jones and Aron Olson helped New Zealand take a 41-30 half lead for the dominance of the match. China launched attacks in the third quarter as both Zhang Jingsong and Du Feng made their three-pointers to narrow the gap to 46-47, the nearest they could manage. New Zealand also dominated the boards on both ends. Due to China's weak defence, New Zealand easily made their long-range shots. Phillip contributed 8 three-pointers, Aron made 6 and their team's three-point hitting percentage reach 67.7 percent. Phillip also scored match-high 24 points, while Li Nan led China with 17 points.
