BBNZ Classic Match #7: 2018 FIBA 3×3 Asia Cup Final | New Zealand vs. China
The 3rd edition of the 3×3 Asia Cup was the biggest on record with 39 teams (18 women’s teams and 21 men’s teams), 2,5 days of a qualifying draw in Changping and three days of main draw competition in the center of Shenzhen at the Nanshan Cultural & Sports Center.
New Zealand landed a big overtime win in the semi-finals against an unbeaten Team Australia thanks to a clutch two-pointer courtesy of tournament MVP Micaela Cocks. In the final they took on China, more than a squad of four with the backing of the home crowd. New Zealand won a nail-biting 14-11 defensive game where no players scored more than 5 points.
New Zealand Team: Micaela Cocks, Kalani Purcell, Toni Edmondson and Chevannah Paalvast.
Team of the Tournament:
- Micaela Cocks (New Zealand, MVP)
- Yingyun Li (China)
- Rebecca Cole (Australia)
