Incredible! Zero points, again zero points! This is the core substitute of the Chinese men's basketball team.

In the final group match against Jordan, the Chinese men's basketball team maintained the same starting lineup as in the previous game against India, which was Zhao Rui, Hu Mingxuan, Zhu Junlong, Wang Junjie, and Hu Jinqiu.

The Chinese men's basketball team had a dream start, leading 17-0, but after the second unit came in, they failed to sustain the strong performance, and Jordan's naturalized guard Tucker scored repeatedly inside, finishing the first quarter with a 24-14 lead by double digits.

In the second quarter, both teams battled hard, with Jordan winning the quarter by 1 point, and at halftime, the Chinese men's basketball team led 47-38.

Throughout the first half, all five starters performed excellently, each with a plus-minus of over 10, with Zhao Rui scoring 11 points; however, he also had 4 turnovers, which was a drawback.

However, the bench struggled, especially Yu Jiahao, who, as the second center, not only failed to effectively utilize his 2.21-meter height advantage but also allowed opponents to score over him multiple times, contributing little and even dragging the team down, prompting Guo Shiqiang to put Li Xiangbo in during the late second quarter.

I hope that after Yu Jiahao starts playing in Spain, he can achieve a qualitative leap. Like Yang Hanshen, he is seen as an important part of the future inside game for the Chinese men's basketball team. However, traditional big centers like him are indeed finding it increasingly difficult to survive in today's global basketball trends.

In the third quarter, although the Chinese men's basketball team couldn't unleash an offensive frenzy, they firmly contained Jordan, and towards the end of the quarter, Cheng Shuai Peng exploded, leaving the opponent in disbelief, entering the final quarter with a score of 65-50.

In the final quarter, the Chinese men's basketball team completely shut down Jordan, ultimately winning 90-68, finishing the group stage undefeated and securing the top seed to advance directly to the quarter-finals, where they will face the winner between the second place of Group A and the third place of Group B.

In the past two group matches, the Chinese men's basketball team defeated Saudi Arabia 93-88 and India 100-69.

Thus, throughout the group stage, the Chinese men's basketball team had a total margin of victory of 58 points, but the knockout stage is where the real challenge lies.

It is worth mentioning that this is the first time in 10 years that the Chinese men's basketball team has achieved a perfect record in the group stage of the Asian Cup, the last being at the 2015 Changsha Asian Cup, where they ultimately became champions.

In this match, the Chinese men's basketball team continued to have all players on the court, with as many as five players scoring in double figures, and Cheng Shuai Peng hitting 5 three-pointers for a team-high of 20 points.

On the Jordan side, they relied heavily on Tucker; once he ran out of energy, they lost their ability to resist.

By the way, when will Liao Sanning find his offensive rhythm again? He scored 0 points in this game but managed to dish out 5 assists, so he wasn't dragged into a meeting for a crazy discussion!
