Leeseul Kang beats Liz Cambage's All-Time efficiency record

SYDNEY (Australia) - Korea is dreaming of a place in the FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup 2022 Quarter-Finals after Leeseul Kang produced a record-breaking career night at the Sydney Superdome.

 

The winger shot the lights out with a phenomenal 37 points to take her team to a 99-66 victory against Bosnia and Herzegovina as Korea not only recorded their first success of the event, but snapped an 11-game losing streak stretching back 12 years.

Kang was just one three-pointer short of equalling the All-Time Women's World Cup record from downtown after sinking 7 triples and also posted the second highest score by a Korean player in the competition. 

NEW WOMEN'S WORLD CUP EFFICIENCY RECORD: 44

Also adding a stellar 8 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals, this combined to give her a staggering performance efficiency valuation of 44.

Recorded and publically available since its introduction in 2014, that efficiency figure surpassed the 41 recorded by Australian center Liz Cambage at the last edition.
