Emotional intelligence is high! The Chinese men's basketball team defeated India 100-69, with Wang Junjie hitting 5 out of 5 shots and thanking the coach in the post-game interview.

On August 7, 2025, the group stage of the Men's Basketball Asian Cup kicked off with great intensity. The Chinese men's basketball team unleashed their firepower, crushing the Indian team with a commanding 100-69 victory, creating a significant margin and securing their second consecutive win, temporarily placing them at the top of the standings. In this game, the rising star of the Chinese team, Wang Junjie, had a breakout performance, scoring 13 points and giving an interview where he displayed remarkable emotional intelligence by first thanking coach Guo Shiqiang!

The match between the Chinese and Indian men's basketball teams drew significant attention, as the Indian team has shown improvement and certainly aimed to challenge us. Our goal is to win, and overall, the opponent does not pose a threat to us. Winning is not an issue; it's just a matter of how many points we can win by. Of course, we must achieve a significant victory over the opponent to secure the top spot in the group!

As the game began, the Chinese men's basketball team played very seriously, maintaining a high-pressure approach throughout, with a well-distributed offense. The three-point shots opened up completely, with Hu Mingxuan and Wang Junjie taking turns to score. Ultimately, six players from the Chinese team scored in double digits, showcasing excellent team basketball and defeating the Indian team 100-69, achieving two consecutive wins and climbing to the top of the standings. In this match, all 12 players on the Chinese team scored!

The victory in this match certainly brings great joy to the Chinese men's basketball team, as we delivered the performance we aimed for, with everyone fulfilling their roles and showcasing their standards, effectively executing our tactics. The standout performer was Wang Junjie, who was perfect with 5 shots out of 5, achieving a 100% shooting percentage and scoring 13 points, truly impressive. In fact, Wang Junjie performed well in the previous match against Saudi Arabia, but he was hidden by Guo Shiqiang in the second half and even scolded!

However, in this game, Guo Shiqiang did not intentionally put Wang Junjie in a difficult position; instead, he started him, showing full trust in him. Wang Junjie reciprocated with a perfect performance, proving the coach's trust was well-placed. After the game, Wang Junjie also gave an interview where he immediately thanked head coach Guo Shiqiang, demonstrating his high emotional intelligence. This deserves recognition for both of them; there are no issues between them, as they both want the Chinese men's basketball team to win!
