(Furong News on the 23rd) This yearThe women’s final is the same showdown between Sen and Rou as the men’s, but the difference is that the last women’s final was particularly exciting, and I believe fans will not be disappointed tomorrow.

Before tomorrow’s decisive battle, the defending champion Johor “warmed up” with Negeri Sembilan in the final round of the single-cycle tonight. The two sides still fought until overtime, with Mori Women coming from behind to win 72-62.

Mori girl reverses Rouge’s victory and advances to finals

Mori Girl reversed the victory to build momentum for the final. Johor Basketball Team head coach Yang Jianan said in an interview with “Sing Chew Sports” after the game: “In this routine game, everyone chose to call it a day. Since the SEA Games in Thailand just ended, the opponent’s national players maintained their condition. Playing at home has the advantage, but there will also be home pressure. In any case, let’s see if we can maintain the luck of the last finals tomorrow!”

Although the result of this game will not affect the ranking situation, the two sides still struggled until the end; with 17.8 seconds left in the final quarter, “Mulan” Peng Huiping stepped on the free throw line and made 2 of 2 free throws, tying 58-58 and entering overtime.

In 5 minutes of overtime, Mori took advantage of the opportunity to suppress her opponent and entered the finals with an undefeated record in 4 games, while Rouge suffered her first defeat (3 wins and 1 loss).

The Mori Girls hope to regain the championship this year in front of the Jiangdong elders. In the last tournament, Johor hosted a single round-robin “disguised final” at the Larkin Stadium in Johor Bahru with about 6,000 people seated. The Mori Girls successfully defeated the Mori Girls’ 4 consecutive championships 56-53.
