Brazil 108, Chinese Taipei 59

Brazil didn't have trouble defeating the fragile Chinese Taipei tonight in São Paulo. Janeth was back in the starting lineup and scored 12 points on 5 of 8 shooting. Érika and Alessandra led Brazil with 16 points apiece. They had no trouble dominating the short Taiwanese frontcourt and both played a combined 28 minutes. Érika missed only 1 field goal and managed 6 rebounds. Brazil outrebounded Taiwan 44 to 24.
I don't understand starting Êga, but I guess that was a way to say she was going to be the last one standing, meaning the final cut will be Jucimara.
This was a boring game. I expect the final roster to be announced prior to the Eletrobrás International Cup games. And I also expect to see more competitive games. At least we beat a team we were supposed to beat.
Taiwan is in Group D with the Czech Republic, Cuba and France.
