Japan beat China 61-58 in the women's basketball pre-Olympic warm-up series in Xi'an, northwest China's Shaanxi Province, on Wednesday.
Without star center Han Xu, top backcourt scorer Li Meng and power forward sharpshooter Huang Sijing, China has suffered three defeats in the latest four warm-up games. However, head coach Zheng Wei and basketballer Pan Zhenqi are still positive about their campaign at the upcoming Paris Olympic Games.
