A crazy night at the Asian Cup! The first quarterfinal team is determined, and the latest standings show: China's men's basketball team clinches three consecutive victories in first place.

On August 9, Beijing time, the third round of the men's basketball Asian Cup group stage commenced. In a recently concluded highlight match, China's men's basketball team led the entire game, crushing Jordan and effortlessly achieving their third consecutive victory, successfully securing first place and becoming the first team to reach the quarterfinals!

In the first round of the group stage of this Asian Cup, China's men's basketball team triumphed over the host nation Saudi Arabia by a 5-point margin. Following that, they dominated India in the second round with overwhelming superiority, showcasing a high three-point shooting percentage in both matches. Today, in the third round against Jordan, our goal and mission were very straightforward: to win. Only by winning could we firmly secure first place and guarantee our spot in the quarterfinals!

As the game began, China's men's basketball team surged forward, executing a seamless inside-outside strategy that led to a fantastic 17-0 start. Perhaps playing too well, Guo Shiqiang immediately substituted in the bench players, resulting in Yu Jiahao struggling to perform and being overwhelmed by the opponent. Consequently, China saw a significant reduction in their lead, with the 37-year-old Tucker scoring heavily for Jordan, leaving us with only a 10-point lead at the end of the first quarter. In the second quarter, China and Jordan engaged in a fierce tug-of-war, battling around a 10-point advantage, trading scores until halftime, where China led by 9 points. After the break, China's men's basketball team ramped up their efforts, with the starting lineup striking back hard and strengthening defense to limit Jordan's offensive capabilities, expanding the lead to double digits by the end of the third quarter. In the final quarter, China's team continued their relentless assault, quickly pushing the lead beyond 20 points, and we sent in the substitutes again, with Cheng Shuai Peng providing stable output, easily securing the victory!

As a result, five players from China's men's basketball team scored in double digits, achieving a significant victory and clinching three consecutive wins, making them the first team to advance to the quarterfinals. Now, we await the emergence of our opponent in the quarterfinals. Cheng Shuai Peng's fearless play was the standout highlight of this match. This group stage has been a valuable training opportunity, especially with our three-point and free-throw performances, and we look forward to the upcoming knockout rounds!
