According to the ranking, the 12th-ranked Chinese team will play against the fifth-ranked Canadian team in the promotion round to compete for the top 8 places. Although the group stage was three battles, the Chinese team was not discouraged, facing the same opponent, the boys will still let go.

After the group match with Canada, Ye Jinguang, the captain of the Chinese team, said regretfully and confidently. He believes that the Chinese team played better than the last, "In the first game, we made a lot of mistakes and paid a price for it.
