China overcame an early deficit to squeeze past Australia 73-69 in its final warmup game ahead of the FIBA Women's Asia Cup in Changsha, Hunan, on July 8.

7月8日，湖南长沙，在女篮亚洲杯开赛前的最后一场热身赛中，中国女篮克服早期的落后局面，以73比69战胜澳大利亚队。

Falling 76-63 to Australia two days prior, China held firm on the free throw line late in the game to prevail, concluding its warmup series with a 5-1 record.

两天前，中国女篮曾以63比76不敌澳大利亚队。而此次，中国队在比赛末段稳稳把握住罚球机会最终获胜，以5胜1负的战绩结束了热身赛。

Yang Liwei made both free throws with 19.5 seconds remaining to put China ahead 72-69, and Jia Saiqi added another to secure the win.

在比赛还剩19.5秒时，杨力维两罚全中，帮助中国队以72比69领先；随后贾赛琪再添一分，为中国队锁定胜局。

"Today we were more accustomed to the game pace on both ends of the floor. We didn't give up when trailing, but executed the coach's tactics and made shots resolutely without overthinking the scoreline," said Yang, who had nine points.

“今天我们更加适应了攻防两端的比赛节奏。在落后的时候我们没有放弃，而是坚决执行教练的战术，果断出手，没有过多去顾虑比分。” 拿到9分的杨力维表示。

Australia showed its shooting accuracy after the tip-off, making its first six shots for a 13-7 lead. With promising center Zhang Ziyu sidelined again, China began to claw back with bench players in action as it whittled the deficit to three points, before Australia pulled away again late in the first quarter for a 25-16 lead.

比赛开场后，澳大利亚队展现出精准的投篮手感，前六轮出手全部命中，取得13比7的领先优势。由于潜力中锋张子宇再次缺阵，中国队开始派上替补球员奋力追分，将分差缩小至3分。但首节末段，澳大利亚队再次拉开差距，以25比16领先结束第一节比赛。

Luo Xinyu sank two straight 3-pointers as China pulled within 30-33, but Australia controlled the pace afterward en route to a 42-36 halftime advantage.

随后罗欣棫连续命中两记三分球，帮助中国队将比分追至30比33，但此后澳大利亚队掌控了比赛节奏，半场结束时以42比36保持领先。

A pair of layups from Yang Shuyu helped China tie the game at 46-46 midway through the third quarter. Wang Siyu scored five points in a row as China rode on a 10-2 surge to go ahead 56-55, its first lead of the game. Australia carried a slim one-point advantage entering the final frame.

第三节中段，杨舒予两次上篮得手，帮助中国队将比分扳为46平。随后王思雨连得5分，中国队打出一波10比2的进攻高潮，以56比55反超比分，这也是中国女篮本场首次领先。随后澳大利亚队带着1分的微弱优势进入末节。

Yang Shuyu top scored with 15 points, and Luo added 12 by going four of six from 3-point range.

比赛中，杨舒予拿下全场最高的15分，罗欣棫则在三分线外6投4中，贡献12分。

"In such a physical game, both teams didn't have a high success rate as we were more focused on physical contact," said China coach Gong Luming. "If China aims to rank among the world's best, we need to adapt to that and raise our game on shots and free throws."

“在这样一场对抗激烈的比赛中，两队的命中率都不高，因为大部分精力都用在了对抗上，”中国女篮主教练宫鲁鸣表示，“而未来中国女篮要向世界前列去冲击，就必须要适应高强度的对抗，并要在投篮和罚球方面提高水平。”

Isobel Borlase was the only Australian player scoring in double figures with 11 points.

伊莎贝尔・博拉斯是澳大利亚队中唯一得分上双的球员，共得到11分。

Defending champion China is placed in Group A along with New Zealand, South Korea and Indonesia at the FIBA Women's Asia Cup to be held in Shenzhen, south China's Guangdong Province from July 13 to 20.
