#秋日生活打卡季#
On the evening of August 30, Beijing time, the basketball World Cup continued to fight fiercely, and the Chinese men's basketball team faced Puerto Rico, the last opponent of the group stage. However, the result was suffocating. The Chinese men's basketball team lost 89-107 to Puerto Rico, losing all three games.
During the game, the retirement of Chinese men's basketball center Yi Jianlian announced the end of his grand basketball career, but the loss was undoubtedly tragic for the Chinese team.
Throughout the game, Zhao Rui of the Chinese men's basketball team performed well, scoring a team-high 16 points, and Zhao Jiwei also contributed 14 points and 6 assists, but these efforts failed to turn the tide of the game.
The defeat resulted in the Chinese men's basketball team losing all three games, finishing bottom of the group and entering the 17-32 qualifying round. In qualifying, the Chinese men's basketball team will play Angola and the Philippines. But to secure qualification for the Paris Olympics, the Chinese men's basketball team will not only need to win both games, but also strive for the widest possible point difference.
Unfortunately, the performance of the Chinese men's basketball team was not satisfactory, and in the match against Puerto Rico, the Chinese men's basketball team was caught by the opponent many times to counterattack, and it was difficult to reverse the decline.
Perhaps lamentably, despite the loss, the Chinese men's basketball team is the only team in Asia that still has a hope of reaching the round of 16. Among Asian teams, only the Japanese men's basketball team beat Finland in the group stage to win one and become a potential favorite to advance to the round of 16.
Next, the Chinese men's basketball team will face Angola and the Philippines, while the Japanese men's basketball team will play Cabo Verde and Venezuela. Win or lose, this basketball feast will unfold between teams, and the future direction of Asian basketball will be revealed in these battles.
