China Mounts Huge Comeback Over New Zealand

China orchestrated a stunning second-half comeback to defeat New Zealand 92-79 at the FIBA U17 World Cup. Trailing by 12 points at halftime (35-47), China saw New Zealand cling to a slim three-point lead entering the final period (61-64). That's when the momentum shifted decisively, as China outscored New Zealand 31-15 in the fourth quarter to secure the victory. The Chinese bench provided a crucial 32 points, significantly outproducing New Zealand's 20, while China's 10 turnovers paled in comparison to New Zealand's 18. Chunzhi Zhang led the Chinese charge with 24 points, complemented by Yizhaojie Zhang's 19 points, 7 rebounds, and 5 assists. Despite Jayden Cecil's 25-point effort for New Zealand, they couldn't withstand the late surge. This win serves as a powerful statement for China in the tournament, showcasing their resilience and ability to control the game's critical moments.
