Live now! The schedule for the Men's Basketball Asian Cup: China vs. South Korea, aiming for the semifinals, halftime score 46-35

On August 14, Beijing time, the quarterfinals of the Men's Basketball Asian Cup are heating up, with the Chinese men's basketball team facing off against South Korea. The two teams are in a fierce battle for a spot in the semifinals, creating intense sparks on the court. The first half has concluded, with the Chinese team establishing a lead of 46-35 over South Korea in the second quarter, showcasing an impressive performance by Wang Junjie!

The Chinese men's basketball team is up against South Korea. The Chinese team is a strong contender in Asia and is the most successful team in the history of the Asian Cup, having won five consecutive championships. However, their dominance has declined in recent years, especially with Australia joining the Asian competition and proving to be very strong. We have lost our status as the dominant force in Asia and haven't won the Asian Cup in a long time. This time, we are fielding a young lineup, and after a strong group stage with three consecutive wins, we have advanced to the quarterfinals. In the quarterfinals, we face our old rivals, the South Korean team, who finished second in their group and advanced after a significant victory over the weaker Guam team. This sets the stage for a fierce clash between the two rivals!

Overall, our performance in the group stage has been commendable, especially with our three-point shooting, which has shown significant improvement compared to previous national teams. South Korea's inside game is weak, relying heavily on their outside shooting. Therefore, if we can effectively defend against their three-pointers, advancing will be within reach. However, South Korea will certainly not give up easily and will attempt to attack with three-point shots, so the Chinese team must remain vigilant!

The first half of the match has concluded, with the Chinese team locked in a tough battle with their opponents in the first quarter. However, in the second quarter, we surged ahead, opening up a double-digit lead, allowing the opponents to score only a meager 11 points in that quarter, which is quite harsh. At halftime, our lead stands at 46-35, and we hope to maintain our momentum in the second half, not giving South Korea any chance to counterattack. Additionally, at midnight tomorrow, there will be another quarterfinal match between New Zealand and Lebanon, which will finalize the four semifinalists. Let's wait and see!
