    CHANGSHA (FIBA 3x3 Asia Cup 2019) - Hosts China (men) and Kazakhstan (women) proved why they were among the favorites in the medal race on the last day of pool play at the FIBA 3x3 Asia Cup 2019.

    CHANGSHA (FIBA 3x3 Asia Cup 2019) - Hosts China (men) and Kazakhstan (women) proved why they were among the favorites in the medal race on the last day of pool play at the FIBA 3x3 Asia Cup 2019 on May 25, 2019.

    In the men's side, hosts China put the crowd on its feet after a dominant victory over World Cup 2014 winners Qatar (21-13). Yi Zheng led the game in scoring with 13 points. New Zealand, the third team in the pool, were eliminated after losing 2 nail-biters. Qatar clinched their ticket to the quarter-finals thanks to 2 clutch Tissot Buzzer Beater free throws from U18 World Cup 2016 winner Nedim Muslic.

    Kazakhstan also advanced as first in their Pool in the men's side. After a complicated win over Chinese Taipei (21-19), they once again prevailed against Indonesia (17-14), who'd fallen short versus Chinese Taipei in another dramatic ending decided by yet another Tissot Buzzer Beater from Yun-Hao Chu (21-20).
