Liz Cambage ejected as Opals again lose to Japan

Liz Cambage was ejected in the fourth quarter and the Australian Opals again lost to Japan in an eventful end to Tokyo Olympic pre-qualifiers on Sunday night.

Cambage, who was returning to competition for the first time since the WNBA playoffs finished in late September, cut a frustrated figure throughout the game as multiple Japanese defenders appeared to hold her or limit her movement. There is no doubt elite centres like Cambage or USA star Brittney Griner are held, pushed and worse by undersized opponents who decide fouling often and daring the referees to keep blowing the whistle is the best way to restrict such stars.FIBA.basketball

Brondello put moved Jenna O’Hea to the power forward role to start the second half and in-form point guard Katie Ebzery into the starting group and it paid off as they cut the lead back to single figures.cam
