China beat Bosnia and Herzegovina 98-51 at the FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup in Sydney, Australia on Friday to secure their second straight win in the tournament.

Five Chinese players scored double-digit points, led by 18 from Han Xu who also had seven rebounds and two blocks. By starting off the bench, she and Li Yueru made sure that their team held size advantage throughout thew game. China led in rebounds 43-26 thanks to their presence.

Compared with Bosnia and Herzegovina, which had to rely on Jonquel Jones for most of their offensive work, China had a richer arsenal including the finishing abilities of Han and Li under the rim as well as the outside firepower offered by Li Meng and Yang Liwei who combined to shoot 4-for-7 from downtown.

Moreover, China were very aggressive on the defensive end as well to get 11 steals and forced the opponents to commit 14 turnovers. By exploiting the tremendous fast break opportunities created in the above ways, China managed to turn the game into a forgone conclusion in the third quarter.

China's containing of Jones, the biggest and only offensive threat of Bosnia and Herzegovina in Friday's game, was solid during most of the time. From the second quarter, defenders worked hard to deny the ball when Jones tried to receive it in the paint. If she got it, either Han or Li Yueru would come quickly to double-team her next to the base line where it was too narrow for Jones to do much other than taking tough shots or passing it back outside.

However, China still had multiple fronts on which players could do better. For example, they missed at least four open layups in Friday's game. The missed eight points didn't matter much in a 47-point big win, but when China play against much stronger opponents like USA and Belgium later, each shot and even each point will count.

Secondly, it took China a bout a quarter to realize they didn't have the most effective defense on Jones by switching everything when she and her teammates were doing screen plays. The result was either a quick foul on Jones' defender or mismatch in China's paint.

China are playing against USA, the strongest opponent in this group, on Saturday.
