    Nagaoka puts Taipei in the spin cycle

    BENGALURU (FIBA Women's Asia Cup 2017) - Chinese Taipei were aggressive early on in the Quarter-Final, so Japan turned to Moeko Nagaoka for some magic.

    BENGALURU (FIBA Women's Asia Cup 2017) - Chinese Taipei were aggressive early on in the Quarter-Final, so Japan turned to Moeko Nagaoka for some magic.

    The 23-year-old 1.82m forward indeed pulled an ace up her sleeve with this amazing 360-degree spin move against Taipei's Wu Ying-Chieh. Magaoka got the ball in the post, took two dribbles and spun to the middle for an easy layup for 2 of her 28 points in the game.

    Needless to say, if Nagaoka has more magic in her bag of tricks for their next game, China could be in big trouble.
