On the evening of August 30, the Chinese men's basketball team faced the last game of the group stage, against Puerto Rico, but the result was 89-107 defeat to Puerto Rico.
In the whole game, Zhao Rui became the scoring leader of the Chinese team, contributing 16 points, Zhao Jiwei contributed 14 points and 6 assists, Hu Mingxuan also had 12 points and 5 assists, Fu Hao and Li Kaier scored 11 points and 9 points and 3 rebounds respectively.
The defeat meant that the Chinese men's basketball team lost all three games and finished bottom of the group, and could only participate in the 17-32 qualifying match against Angola and the Philippines. And to qualify for the Paris Olympics, they need to win at least both matches.
The Chinese men's basketball team lost by 62 points in three games, a result that is hard to accept despite being the last team in Asia to potentially advance to the round of 16.
Before the start of the Chinese men's basketball team, all five teams in Asia were out, and only the Japanese men's basketball team won one victory against Finland.
For the Chinese men's basketball team, it is almost only theoretically possible to advance to the round of 16. Not only do they need to win over Puerto Rico, they also need to make sure the victory margin is below 36 points.
However, Puerto Rico was defeated by the Chinese men's basketball team only once in its history, and that victory occurred at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics.
The Puerto Rican team is helpless for the Chinese men's basketball team with its good shooting style. Although the Chinese men's basketball team changed its formation after the loss, it was still unable to stop Puerto Rico's attack.
For the Chinese men's basketball team, the next two games will be the last chance, and their performance will directly determine whether they can continue to appear at the Paris Olympics.
