On July 27, Beijing time, the men's basketball warm-up match heated up as the Chinese team faced Bosnia and Herzegovina at home. After four quarters of intense competition, the Chinese team maintained a lead throughout, scoring 12 three-pointers to defeat their opponent 90-70, winning by a margin of 20 points and securing their third consecutive warm-up victory. The evaluation for this match: the outside shooting was impressive, but Hu Mingxuan's performance declined significantly, being the worst on the team!
In preparation for the Asian Cup, the Chinese men's basketball team has recently organized a series of warm-up matches, having already defeated Venezuela twice. Currently ranked 30th in the world, they faced their third warm-up opponent, the Bosnian team, ranked 41st. Since it was a warm-up match, neither side fielded their absolute starters!
As the game began, the Chinese men's basketball team quickly engaged in battle, combining inside and outside play to widen the gap, leaving the Bosnian team unable to catch up, leading by 9 points at the end of the first quarter. In the second quarter, Bosnia's shooting percentage rose significantly, and the Chinese team struggled to contain them, allowing a 4-point recovery in that quarter, ending the half with a 5-point lead. In the second half, the Chinese team's offense surged back, scoring 30-15 in that quarter, with three-pointers raining down. By the end of the third quarter, the Chinese team led by 20 points. In the final quarter, both teams' shooting percentages plummeted, but the Chinese team maintained a solid lead, ultimately winning by 20 points against the Bosnian team!
From this match, it is clear that the Chinese men's basketball team excelled in three-point shooting, with 12 three-pointers being incredibly strong. Their overall performance was commendable, with five players scoring in double figures, although they need to improve their free throw percentage. The biggest gain was from Liao Sanning, who shot very steadily, while Hu Mingxuan had the worst performance, missing shots and making continuous errors, which is truly unacceptable!
