Match preview

1. Currently, two group stage matches have been completed, and China has suffered defeats both home and away to South Korea.
2. Tomorrow, China will play an away game against Japan; the outcome will determine whether China advances. A loss would seriously jeopardize China’s chances of qualifying.
3. Tomorrow's away match against Japan comes after Japan has already won two games. We hope the Chinese men's basketball team will learn from their setbacks and fight back, securing a victory on the road against Japan to improve their chances of advancing!
