CCTV-5 and Yangshipin are live broadcasting the Men's Basketball World Cup Asian Qualifiers match between China and Japan – a must-win battle for the Chinese men's basketball team.

The game is currently in the first quarter, with the Japanese men's basketball team leading China 9-4.

This match is a life-or-death battle for the Chinese men's basketball team. They must win; otherwise, their qualification prospects will sharply decline.

1. Currently, the Chinese men's basketball team has suffered two losses to the South Korean team, making their qualification outlook already worrisome. With Zhou Qi and Wang Zhelin on the court, the team's performance has significantly dropped compared to their level during the Asia Cup.
2. Today, the Chinese men's basketball team is playing away from home, making a victory very challenging. Japan boasts players like Watanabe and a naturalized American athlete.
3. However, according to the qualification rules, if the Chinese team loses to Japan, their probability of advancing could fall below five percent.
4. Therefore, we hope that under Zhao Rui's leadership, they can turn the tide and secure an away victory against the Japanese team.
