00:00Almost turned it over on the baseline.
00:02Nice little drop off pass and a foul with just 1.7 on the shot clock.
00:10Really unfortunate for Puerto Rico.
00:12Especially with the size of Wong Siu underneath the basket,
00:16I think there's no way, not no way,
00:19but it would have been very difficult for her to score versus McGee Stafford.
00:26And Honshu will head to the bench as Wong Siu comes in.
00:30And here comes our favorite out-of-bounds play.
00:34Throw it up top.
00:36Well, there you go.
00:37You know, it's just like, it's an automatic.
00:39Teams have just accepted.
00:42All right, just give them two points.
00:43Let's just go the other way.
00:44Yeah, accepted that, you know, they're going to score on this out-of-bounds.
00:49Yeah. Pull up by Gonzalez.
00:53High-arcing shot over Ziyu.
00:58Tied again at 45.
01:04Ooh, get out of here!
01:10McGee Stafford coming over from help side.
01:13She's played volleyball in university as well.
01:15That's what it looked like.
01:18Oh, here it comes. Here it comes.
01:20Oh, they got something different this time.
01:24Still going to try and go inside.
01:27And a foul right away.
01:35So six.
01:39I'm sorry, 14 on the shot clock.
01:41That was a foul.
01:42Resets to 14.
01:43Yeah.
01:44This is not my first basketball game, I swear.
01:48You don't even know it's called a semi-circle.
01:54Will they be successful again?
01:56No, the miss by Ziyu.
02:01Gonzalez.
02:02Three-on-two opportunity.
02:04China hustles back.
02:07Girantes gives it up to Rosado.
02:10Now Melendez will try.
02:13Drive baseline.
02:14Gonzalez.
02:15Well contested, but ooh, Stafford.
02:19I mean, it's hard when you have, you know, Zhang behind you trying to swipe at the ball.
02:29Maybe she does get tired, she is on the bench right now.
02:33She doesn't even look gassed though.
02:35No, she doesn't.
02:36We'll probably see the energy tracker a little bit later.
02:38That usually comes in the fourth quarter, so.
02:42Honshu back in.
02:43You see, like right now, this matchup underneath the basket between Melendez and Honshu.
02:49Go post-up.
02:54Do you, is that something that, you know, the staff in New York are constantly asking
03:00her to do?
03:01To post-up?
03:02Yeah.
03:03Or no, not necessarily.
03:05It's more so we, I don't want to give our secrets away.
03:09I don't know who's listening.
03:12We still have games left.
03:15Fair enough.
03:18But, yeah, Hani's very talented, obviously, like, her three-point shot is one of her strong
03:28assets.
03:29Yep.
03:29But she's also almost seven feet tall, so you're like, get in there.
03:41Those were the first two free throws for Chyna, by the way.
03:43Crazy.
03:44Four-minute mark.
03:46And they missed both.
03:46Yeah.
03:47The curl for Durante is spinning, turning, and is fouled on the play.
03:54They're not, I can look it up quickly, but they're not a team that gets to the free-throw
03:58line a lot, though.
03:59We're trying now.
04:00Only 12 attempts per game, shooting 69%, and 12 attempts is not a lot.
04:06It's not.
04:06Especially, you know, you and I have seen, we've covered some games in this competition
04:10where...
04:11We've seen 12 and a quarter.
04:12Woo!
04:12Woo!
04:13Yeah, exactly.
04:15So San Antonio checks back in for Puerto Rico.
04:26Rosado, get it to Stafford, fading away.
04:30High arcing shot.
04:31That looked good from here, but big rebound for Melendez.
04:35Now Rosado turns it over.
04:42And look at San Antonio almost creating a turnover.
04:46And Chyna walks to Yu, takes it to the rack and is fouled.
04:53Two more free throws for Chyna.
05:01Yeah, I think their guards need to be a little bit more aggressive.
05:09You said it, I looked it up real quick as well.
05:13They are the team that averages second lowest in free-throw attempts per game outside of
05:19Korea, and Korea are only at nine per game.
05:22It's not a lot, especially when you look at some teams.
05:24USA 23, Hungary 21 a game, Germany 20 attempts a game.
05:29You know, most teams in the high teens, they're not even in the teens.
05:33Yeah.
05:42It's a two-point lead for Chyna.
05:47Corner three is way off as Honshu grabs another rebound for Chyna.
05:53That is her seventh and with her sixth.
06:00Sorry, with her seven rebounds in today's game, Honshu has now grabbed 150 boards in the
06:08Women's World Cup, while no other player has more than 122 since her debut in the competition.
06:14Only 150?
06:15Yeah.
06:16Only 150 as Girantes finishes for two for Puerto Rico.
06:26Li Yuan swings it, gets it back.
06:33Three-pointer up and short for Chyna.
06:37I'm not sure if that's the shot that they wanted to take.
06:39I'll have to just add to that little bit of information.
06:42Obviously, that 150 she was able to do in three World Cups.
06:46She joined Chyna for the 2018 World Cup in Tenerife, Spain.
06:54Belinda's jab and drive.
06:57A little too long.
07:00Li Yuan.
07:10A little bit of a flex action here for Chyna.
07:16Can't shoot.
07:20Excuse me, Li Yuan.
07:22And Rosado will pull up.
07:25And Trinity San Antonio comes flying in.
07:29Who is there?
07:29Not able to hold on to it.
07:31But Trinity San Antonio trying to do absolutely everything she can
07:37to get a win for Puerto Rico so they can go back to the quarterfinals
07:42as Andrew heads to the bench.
07:44Well, she's averaging 11 rebounds a game in this competition,
07:47in this World Cup.
07:48Back in 2022 when they made it all the way to the finals,
07:52fell to the USA.
07:53She averaged over eight rebounds a game in eight games.
07:56And then back in 2018, her first time with the senior team,
08:00plays at a FIBA World Cup.
08:03And she averaged six boards a game.
08:07Not too shabby.
08:09That's all right.
08:10Yeah.
08:13And Zhang Ziyu is fouled.
08:16So two more free throws here for Chyna.
08:19I think this will be the sixth attempt for the game.
08:23And everything happened in this quarter, actually.
08:28So 91 seconds left here in the third.
08:39And Ziyu now with 11 points in just eight minutes.
08:45Make it 12.
08:4712 points in eight minutes.
08:53She's also, like, she has good form and a decent free,
08:57you know, free throw looking shot.
09:01San Antonio lines one up from the corner pocket.
09:06Well, she's been doing everything, but she has not scored yet
09:09in this quarter as she knocks down that three-point shot.
09:12Her first points of the third.
09:1517 for her.
09:17High score.
09:21I think that's going to go.
09:23Is that on Stafford?
09:24No, I think it was Pagan.
09:25No coming from behind.
09:27Okay.
09:28Yeah.
09:31Pagan.
09:33Zhang Ziyu heads back to the free throw line.
09:37She goes roughly five times a game.
09:4171.4% from the line.
09:47Yeah, it's a nice-looking shot.
09:49You know, great spin, nice rotation on the ball.
10:04Oh, oopsies.
10:06One for two from the line, and now off to the races is Puerto Rico.
10:11Swing the ball.
10:16Get it inside.
10:19Stafford looking to go to work.
10:23Thought she was fouled, but she should have tried to go up
10:26with her left hand maybe.
10:38That's the second time she's been very aggressive driving to the basket,
10:42and now going back to the free throw line.
10:48Yeah, that's on Stafford for sure.
10:53Already eight attempts from the free throw line, and you mentioned that all of
10:57those coming in the second half is this quarter, yeah.
11:05So, McGee Stafford has three fouls.
11:13And as Wang Ziyu hits the first of two, gives China the lead once again.
11:31We've had 18 lead changes so far this game.
11:35This is kind of what you expect, though, from a qualification game for the quarterfinals.
11:40And, you know, we've talked about it all tournament long.
11:44This is the most exciting FIBA Basketball Women's World Cup I have ever been involved in.
11:52And it's just the level of talent and the growth of the women's basketball game.
11:57Trinity San Antonio is on fire here in Berlin Arena.
12:09Gives Puerto Rico the lead.
12:12And is that a foul or a jump ball?
12:15Look at her.
12:16San Antonio turns from her bench and is firing them up.
12:20It's a foul.
12:21It's a foul.
12:22I don't know if, I mean, they could get a shot off .9.
12:25Going against Honshu.
12:30After three quarters, Puerto Rico in front.
12:3453-52.
12:36I mean, if you're Puerto Rico, you've got to be, you've got to be hyped right now.
12:41That was a big time three by San Antonio.
12:44Well, they trailed by one at half.
12:46They're up one with ten minutes remaining.
12:48You said it right before this.
12:50This is such a big welcome that's happening right now, right here in Berlin.
12:55And fourth quarter underway here, ten minutes away.
13:01And we shall see who will be.
13:04Oh, nice pass.
13:05Great pass.
13:06And finish.
13:07The quickness of San Antonio.
13:10And defined Pagan 4-2.
13:14Wow.
13:16Three-point lead now for Puerto Rico.
13:19Corner three.
13:20Can't get it to go.
13:22Honshu tried to keep it alive, but Rosado secures the basketball.
13:26And we've got multiple players on the floor trying to help each other up.
13:30And Garantes slips as well.
13:34It's a thought that counts.
13:36Yes.
13:38Garantes, tough shot over Honshu.
13:40Can't get it to fall.
13:43Li Yuan.
13:47Get it to Honshu.
13:49Ooh.
13:51I'm not sure.
13:53Melendez trying to go for the steal.
13:58Yeah, yeah, yeah.
14:00Look at this.
14:00How about that pass?
14:01A wrap-around pass.
14:03It's just this is what San Antonio gives.
14:05Here it is.
14:06So they take each other out.
14:07She goes, I got you, I got you.
14:08Don't worry, I'll help you up.
14:10Oh, we didn't see it.
14:15Nice play inside by Chen Ming Lane.
14:17Took her time to make sure she added two more for Chyna.
14:23And one-point lead for Puerto Rico.
14:29And Li Yuan comes up with the steal.
14:32Honshu, they have numbers.
14:34Wang Suyu throws it up high to Honshu.
14:39And they finish timeout on the floor.
14:44So it's things like this with Honshu.
14:46Yeah.
14:46Just run to the basket.
14:47And if you're in trouble at any point, like that exact play,
14:51you just throw it up there and you're like, go get it.
14:54Yeah.
14:55Like, Wang Suyu was in trouble.
14:57Yeah, she was.
14:58She left her feet before she knew what to do with it.
15:00She's like, oh gosh, I'm either turning this over,
15:02I got to shoot it, or Honshu, here, Honshu, go get it.
15:05She put it up near the rim and...
15:07And that's exactly what happens.
15:08So things like that where I'm like, yeah, Honshu,
15:12just run to the basket.
15:14But timeout, Puerto Rico.
15:17One-point lead for Chyna.
15:19Again, if you're just now joining us, the winner of this game
15:21will advance to the quarterfinals and play France tomorrow afternoon.
15:25A lot of games tomorrow.
15:27We do have one more here this evening.
15:30Italy will play Australia.
15:33Another qualification game.
15:35Winner of that will advance to the quarterfinals as well.
15:41That's gonna be a great game also.
15:44Coming up after us.
15:45Italy versus Australia.
15:47We do know that Alana Smith is not gonna play,
15:50but right now it's about this one.
15:51And that person right there, Honshu.
15:53Well, she's below her average.
15:55She'll still...
15:56I think she'll still finish with a double-double for sure.
15:58There's eight and a half minutes left.
16:01Yeah, but this is the play that we were talking about.
16:04She just throws it up and, yeah, go get it.
16:07Where's my big?
16:08Where's my big?
16:08Go get it, honey.
16:09That's like such an advantage though, you know,
16:11playing with big, tall post players.
16:16You can do that.
16:17I loved playing with big, tall post players.
16:19I played college basketball with Lindsay Taylor.
16:21She was 6'8", and I just throw it to her.
16:23Go get it.
16:25Probably nobody knows who that is or where I went to school or anything
16:29because we're so old.
16:32Girantes.
16:38Shot clock winding down.
16:40San Antonio.
16:42Tough, tough shot and gets fouled.
16:46She's so creative.
16:48She has really elevated her game.
16:51I mean, she is putting people on notice here today.
16:54She might have gotten away with a baby hook there, but...
16:58Yeah.
16:59It's all good.
17:03So two free throws for her.
17:0721 points.
17:15Five assists and six rebounds.
17:19And three steals for San Antonio.
17:23There's still eight minutes left to go here.
17:26I mean, this is the...
17:29One of the biggest games of her young career,
17:32and she has absolutely showed up.
17:37See that?
17:38Throw it up, right?
17:38Throw it up?
17:39Yeah.
17:39Why are you bounce passing it?
17:45Honshu for three!
17:47Three points.
17:49One, two.
17:50Well, questioned whether she was going to get to her tournament averages.
17:54Now she has 12 points.
17:57And we still have 740 remaining.
17:59She will go to the bench for a little bit here, though, in the fourth quarter,
18:02as coach likes to sub.
18:04Big O board for Stafford, but she can't finish.
18:08Honshu pulls it down, running the floor.
18:12And turns it over.
18:13Who comes up with the steal?
18:15Yeah, exactly.
18:16San Antonio.
18:16And converts the other way.
18:18Two more for her, two more for Puerto Rico.
18:21And we're tied up at 59.
18:33Shuyu gives it up top to Honshu.
18:40Now Honshu with 14 points.
18:43Yeah, 14 points.
18:43And a very quiet third quarter.
18:45You know who's gone kind of quiet, though, for Puerto Rico.
18:47It's this woman right here, Girantes.
18:51She's going to get a bucket now that you said that.
18:52And, unfortunately, couldn't convert that one.
18:55But, yes, they need Girantes to step up here.
18:59She had a good first half.
19:00Has not gone cold.
19:02She's only 4-14.
19:04Still 10 points to her name.
19:07And Gonzalez commits the foul against Wong Siu.
19:17So, yes, there's that steal.
19:20Great hands.
19:21Her fourth steal of this game.
19:24She's been a part of more.
19:25I'm going to say it's her sixth steal, though, because.
19:27It's like she's been a part of more.
19:28Yeah.
19:33Shuyu playing the two-man game with Honshu.
19:40Another bounce pass inside.
19:42That time she's able to catch it, but another, you know, textbook.
19:47Throw it up.
19:48Let her go and get it in the air.
19:51More small hands around if you bounce pass to players.
19:55They can't reach it up top.
19:55Just throw it up there.
19:57Four-point lead now for Chyna.
20:01Gonzalez.
20:02Gets it to Melendez.
20:03She thought about it.
20:04Now, Gonzalez.
20:06San Antonio posting up.
20:10That one is heavy, but look who comes with the board.
20:13San Antonio.
20:15Melendez lines one up from the corner.
20:18Not this time.
20:19And San Antonio just smothering the game.
20:24Wong Siu kicks it out.
20:26Shuyu attacks and is blocked, but they call the foul on Melendez.
20:36So this is kind of the second time now we've seen Chyna.
20:38And I said this at halftime.
20:40I felt like they're kind of, or not at halftime, in between the third and the fourth quarter.
20:44Yeah.
20:44I felt like they were kind of asleep.
20:46They looked like they have more energy in these last ten minutes.
20:50Yeah, I mean, they already have 11 points in this quarter alone.
20:52They finished with 11 points in that entire third quarter as they have jumped out to a little bit of
20:59a more comfortable lead.
21:01I mean, it's a two-possession game now in favor for Chyna.
21:07Yeah, I agree with you.
21:08But it was just that third quarter.
21:10The first half they were fine.
21:11I think it took both teams to kind of get into their momentum and rhythm a little bit to start
21:16the game.
21:16But a couple minutes, that's all.
21:18And a jump ball.
21:20It will stay with Chyna.
21:21A missed opportunity there for Puerto Rico, though, on the free throw line, where right now this is, you know,
21:28537 remaining.
21:29You're trailing by five.
21:31Every possession, every ball counts.
21:33And who's coming in, Chris?
21:34Who's coming in?
21:34Base long out of bounds.
21:37This is amazing.
21:38I love it.
21:40Zhang Ziyu.
21:42Throwing it up.
21:44Let's see if she can convert.
21:45Yep, throw it up.
21:46Throw it up.
21:46Get it.
21:47Oh, or not.
21:50Oh, stolen away.
21:53Throw it up higher.
21:55McGee Stafford picks the pass.
22:04Quirantes directing traffic here for Puerto Rico on offense.
22:09Attacks the closeout.
22:10Pulls it back out.
22:11Nice crossover.
22:12Oh.
22:13And is fouled, but...
22:14And one!
22:16You know what?
22:17I think Garantes wanted the foul on the pass, but it's better that they got it on the M1.
22:21It's better that they got it on the M1, for sure.
22:23She was able to get that pass to McGee Stafford, who has also been quiet here in the second half,
22:31Chris.
22:31Yeah.
22:31That could have been a foul on the pass, but we'll, yeah.
22:34From Puerto Rico.
22:36Shake and bake.
22:37Ooh.
22:38Ooh.
22:38Yeah.
22:38It's better that it happened in the three-point shot opportunity.
22:42And, you know, McGee Stafford, great three-point free-throw shooter as well.
22:47Makes it a two-point game.
22:52A little over five minutes left here.
22:54Again, winner moves on to the quarterfinals and will play France tomorrow afternoon.
23:04Shuyu kicks it out to Han.
23:06Shuyu, that one's off the mark.
23:08San Antonio pulls down the rebound, looking to push the pace.
23:11Wow.
23:12And a foul.
23:13Oh, my.
23:15Speedy Gonzales.
23:16Speedy Gonzales, but Wang needs to be careful, too, as she, you know.
23:22We've already seen one of the unsportsmanlike calls earlier today.
23:35There's a sideline out of bounds here.
23:42Melendez.
23:43Find San Antonio.
23:45Attacking baseline.
23:47Ooh, there's a little turn around.
23:49Ooh, that looks good from our angle, but it is off the mark.
23:53C.U.
23:54Long C.U with the ball.
23:58looking to attack
24:01to get it to Honshu
24:04bounce pass to Honshu
24:05the lay in is good
24:07now that bounce pass
24:09that one was acceptable
24:10it was different because it was in movement
24:12she was rolling
24:14that was a nice pocket pass
24:17by Honshu
24:18right there yes
24:19that is very different than what we were talking about earlier
24:23a timeout on the floor
24:27China in front
24:29just by 4 points
24:3166-62
24:32a lot of time left though
24:35but coach Jerry Batista
24:37this is already his second timeout
24:39that he has used
24:40in the second half so he only has one
24:43remaining China on the other hand
24:45has three so if
24:47this game is
24:49tight at the end
24:50Puerto Rico are not going to have a lot of timeout opportunities
24:54to try and advance the ball
24:55they're the fourth quarter scoring
24:57well
24:59we mentioned it quickly
25:00they already outscored
25:03what they did
25:04halfway through this quarter
25:06then in the third quarter
25:09as well
25:11Honshu
25:12got to blow her nose a little bit
25:14yeah double double for Honshu
25:16and right now China
25:1914 to 9
25:20I questioned
25:20I think
25:20you know
25:21she had 9 points or something
25:22and now she's not
25:23yeah
25:23and I was like
25:24oh I don't think she'll get her 17 point average
25:26well
25:28she fooled us
25:29she
25:29she did fool us
25:31and still
25:31there's still 4 minutes left too
25:33so she can definitely add to that
25:34but
25:35I also think
25:36Wang Ciyu
25:37has had some
25:38the veteran Wang Ciyu
25:40has had some significant
25:41minute impact
25:43you know
25:43I know
25:446 points
25:45then again
25:46only averaging 4 points
25:47but
25:48just what she's doing
25:49offensively
25:51you know
25:51her team has been playing better
25:53when she's on the court
25:54yeah
25:55she's been very aggressive
25:56trying to
25:56trying to get to the rim
25:58Girantes
25:59trying to bully her way inside
26:01and does exactly that
26:04she needed to score
26:06she had been stuck
26:07at 10 points
26:07for a very long time
26:09Kristen
26:10and they need someone else
26:12in San Antonio
26:13to take the burden
26:16Wang Ciyu
26:18drives
26:20and fast break opportunity
26:22Rosado
26:23ties it at 66
26:26well
26:26I question
26:28Coach Batista
26:30having to use a timeout
26:31clearly
26:32it was the right choice
26:34as they are able
26:35to tie the game
26:36look who has their hands
26:38on the ball
26:38her fifth
26:40steal
26:42in this game
26:43for San Antonio
26:46she just
26:49look at that
26:50there's the steal
26:50and the assist
26:54but San Antonio
26:55again
26:55gets her hands
26:57on the basketball
26:58to cause a jump ball
26:59now it goes back
27:01to Puerto Rico
27:03you know
27:04San Antonio
27:05has twice as many steals
27:07as the next person
27:08in this competition
27:09Girantes
27:10is fouled
27:11they're looking to say
27:11offensive foul
27:14oh I missed that
27:21so offensive foul
27:22on the drive
27:24on the drive here
27:29that one's a tough one
27:30for Girantes
27:31and for Puerto Rico
27:33but still tied
27:34at 66
27:35three minutes left
27:36to go here
27:44looking for Hanshu
27:46she decides to get
27:47behind the three point line
27:49you gotta be kidding me
27:53what is happening
27:55here in the fourth quarter
27:56for Hanshu
27:5721 points
27:5910 rebounds
28:00a double double
28:02but what an impact
28:04she is having
28:05for this Chinese team
28:07turned down the midi
28:08made sure that her feet
28:10were behind the three point line
28:11and too much
28:12on that pass
28:13yeah Girantes
28:14trying to do
28:15a little bit too much
28:16on her own
28:17I think
28:17yeah
28:18she did almost
28:19take out
28:19her teammate
28:21Stafford
28:22another three ball
28:23up
28:24that one is short
28:24I'm not sure
28:25if China should have
28:26pulled the trigger
28:27that early
28:30San Antonio
28:31oh yeah
28:32foul
28:32right away
28:33it's a good foul
28:34though
28:35they've got one to give
28:36yeah they got one to give
28:37and clearly she was
28:38gonna be beat
28:39yeah
28:40San Antonio
28:41blown right by her
28:42would have been a layup
28:44also I mean
28:45Yang Shu Yu
28:47has gone a little cold
28:48here as far as
28:49scoring goes
28:49but Kristen
28:50she has a double double
28:51for China also
28:5213 points
28:53and 10 assists
28:54now in this game
28:58Stafford
28:59hands it off
29:00to Girantes
29:02Girantes
29:02with the runner
29:05can't get it to go
29:07Wong Si Yu
29:08to bring the ball
29:08up the floor
29:08now China
29:12eat up
29:13some of this clock
29:13make sure
29:14they get a good shot
29:20shot clock
29:21winding down
29:21pick and roll
29:22here between
29:24Yang Shu Yu
29:24she gets it
29:25to the corner
29:25three ball
29:28bullseye
29:28for China
29:29three point
29:31shooting
29:31well
29:33three point
29:34shooting right now
29:35has been the
29:35difference maker
29:36in this quarter
29:37alone
29:38China went very
29:39cold from three
29:40they started out
29:41well
29:41in the first half
29:43from three point
29:43late
29:44didn't hit
29:45a three point shot
29:46there in the third
29:47quarter
29:47they have made
29:48what three already
29:49in this quarter
29:50and they have been
29:52the difference makers
29:52really
29:53yeah
29:54I thought
29:54Luo
29:54took that
29:56three
29:56too early
29:57a couple
29:57possessions ago
29:58and now
29:59she came through
30:00big time
30:00and hit that
30:01one in the corner
30:02they've been on fire
30:04look at that
30:04they're five
30:05and five
30:05from two point
30:06range
30:0850%
30:09from three
30:10here it is
30:11and right now
30:12it is
30:14I don't want to say
30:14comfortable
30:15but it's a
30:16it's a six point lead
30:17it's a two possession
30:18two possession
30:18but a big two possession
30:20game
30:20it's not four points
30:21is she bleeding
30:22oh my
30:23I thought she had a mouth
30:24are you sure
30:25yeah
30:27she did get hit
30:28earlier in the mouth
30:29from the offensive foul
30:31yes
30:31oh there it is
30:33the double double
30:33I talked about
30:34I don't want to say
30:36a more difficult
30:37double double
30:38because Julie Allemond
30:40she would be like
30:41what are you talking about
30:41that happens to me all the time
30:43points and assists
30:45it's more of a rare
30:47double double
30:47yes it is
30:49how many rebounds
30:50does she have
30:52we have seen a few players
30:54you know
30:54tinker
30:55with a triple double
30:57and well
30:58she has
30:59she only has three rebounds
31:00I don't think she's gonna
31:00I don't think she's gonna
31:01come up with that
31:02yeah there's not enough
31:03so biggest lead right now
31:05for Chyna
31:06is six points
31:07this is what's crazy
31:07Trinity San Antonio
31:09is tinkering
31:11with a quadruple double
31:12that's insane
31:13San Antonio
31:14almost got away
31:16did get away
31:16with the push off
31:17step through
31:17hands it off
31:18to Stafford
31:19for two
31:23four point game
31:25120 left here
31:31we are on the edge
31:32of our seats
31:34Shuyu
31:40drives
31:41can't get it to go
31:42Stafford
31:43pulls down the board
31:44that was a good job
31:45by Stafford
31:46coming in
31:46and helping
31:47clean up the glass
31:48she was outside the key
31:49these are the kind of
31:50possessions that you need
31:53go inside to Stafford
31:55turn around
31:57oh San Antonio
31:59how in the world
32:00oh my gosh
32:02misses it though
32:04somehow comes up
32:06with a rebound
32:06oh that is a definite
32:08yeah
32:08travel
32:10it was almost a back
32:11backcourt violation
32:13as well
32:13wow
32:14Trinity
32:15San Antonio
32:16jumps out of the gym
32:18to pull down
32:19that offensive rebound
32:20I don't know how
32:21how she did that
32:2324 points
32:249 rebounds
32:257 assists
32:26and 5 steals
32:27insane
32:28this is going to go down
32:29as I'm pretty sure
32:31the best performance
32:32by a Puerto Rican
32:33had the few
32:34rules basketball
32:34work up
32:35and one of the best
32:37performances
32:37we're going to see
32:38in this tournament
32:39I'm sure as well
32:41four point lead
32:42for China
32:43Puerto Rico here
32:46get it to
32:47Girantes
32:48shot fake
32:50kick it out
32:51to Melendez
32:52for three
32:52that is way off
32:53yeah way way off
32:55get the O board
32:58Girantes
32:58for two
33:02and China
33:03calling a timeout
33:06well they have
33:07three timeouts
33:08now is the time
33:09to use it
33:09I think
33:11you still have
33:12a two point lead
33:13but
33:14we also saw
33:15this happen
33:18against
33:19Czechia
33:19I question
33:20whether he should
33:21have called
33:21a timeout
33:23now will he
33:24advance the ball
33:25or take it
33:26in the backcourt
33:27because you do
33:28have the lead
33:30this is tough
33:31because
33:32but if he advances
33:33it then there's
33:3414 seconds
33:35so there's going
33:35to be 11 seconds
33:36left on the game
33:37puck
33:37Trinity
33:38can get down
33:39the court
33:40in a second
33:41and a half
33:44also the pressure
33:45I mean
33:46Puerto Rico's
33:47pressure
33:47has caused
33:48and forced
33:49a lot of
33:49turnovers
33:50so if they do
33:50go in the full
33:51court
33:51oh they are
33:51going to take
33:52it
33:52I see them
33:53right now
33:54they're going to go
33:55the whole length
33:55of the court
33:59still you know
34:01Puerto Rico's
34:01going to pick up
34:02full
34:03San Antonio
34:0424.7 assists
34:06nine rebounds
34:08though
34:08five steals
34:09there is nothing
34:11she has not
34:12done
34:12she's both
34:13ends
34:13of the court
34:15in 31 minutes
34:24they got to get
34:25a stop
34:26and they don't
34:27have any timeouts
34:28Kristen
34:28that's what
34:29you know
34:29even if they do
34:30get the stop
34:31with a few seconds
34:32left
34:34are they going
34:34to be able
34:36to get down
34:37and get a good
34:38look
34:38as we see
34:39some concerned
34:39faces
34:40they're actually
34:40seated right
34:41in front of me
34:42as I should say
34:45all right
34:46so China
34:46to go the full
34:47length of the
34:47court
34:4725.7
34:49on the game
34:50clock
34:5024 on the
34:51shot clock
34:52they get it
34:53in
34:54almost
34:55oh boy
34:57that was
34:58close
35:00Shu Yu
35:00is definitely
35:01fouled
35:02she's got to
35:03be very
35:03very careful
35:04because
35:05it wasn't
35:06aggressive
35:07but she
35:07grabbed a
35:08jersey
35:08and I
35:08think
35:09honestly
35:10I don't
35:11disagree
35:11with this
35:12I think
35:12China
35:13are going
35:13to
35:13they're going
35:14to use
35:14their challenge
35:15and try
35:16and look
35:16for an
35:17upgrade
35:18on that
35:19foul
35:19my question
35:21is
35:21was the
35:22foul called
35:22on someone
35:23else
35:23before
35:24San Antonio
35:25reached
35:26but she
35:26grabbed
35:26the jersey

43:03passing it to her
43:04but
