The Korean U18 women's basketball team, led by head coach Kang Byung-soo (Suwon Girls' High School), failed to advance to the final after losing to China. Zhang Tzu-yu, a Chinese monster center measuring 2 m 20 in height, could not overcome her height. No tactics or personal skills worked in front of overwhelming heights.
South Korea lost 61:79 to China in the semi-finals of the 「26th FIBA U18 Women's Asian Cup" held at the Longhe Culture & Sports Center in Shenzhen, China on the 29th. Lee Ga-hyun (Sufia Girls' High School) led the team with 12 points and 10 rebounds, while Song Yoon-ha (8 points-7 rebounds) and Soo Soo-yoon (8 points, 2 rebounds) started to attack China with fast speed. Finished the first quarter 21-24. So far, we have been able to create a relatively tight flow.
However, when Zhang Tzu-yu, a Chinese 'Women Yao Ming', dominated the court in earnest, it turned into a one-sided trend. South Korean players fell short of Jang Tzu-yu's shoulders. Jang Tzuyu dominated the court by herself. While playing for just 21 minutes and 35 seconds, he scored 34 points, 16 rebounds, and 5 assists, making Korean players lethargic.

South Korea, which failed to advance to the finals, played the third and fourth place match against Japan at 4:30 p.m. on the 30th. Lee Min-ji led the attack with 19 points and 5 rebounds, but failed to overcome the inferiority of the rebound and lost to Japan 54-69 to secure fourth place.
Although they failed to make it to the finals, Korea earned a great harvest through this competition. Finishing the tournament in fourth place, he won the right to participate in the 2025 FIBA U19 Women's Basketball World Cup, which will be given to the top four countries of the tournament. China and Australia will clash in the final.
