the semi-finals of the u18 asian cup for men's basketball continued, and the chinese men's basketball team lost to new zealand 71-86. according to the on-site commentator, zhang boyuan played with a fever and his overall condition did not meet expectations. duan ruiqi had just recovered from his injury. he wenwei and liu li had different degrees of injuries. xun sinan played only 1 minute in this game after being injured in the match against india.
the chinese men's basketball team's rebounding and free throws in this game were far below average. it was not surprising that they lost in the face of new zealand, which scored in many areas.
liu li deserves special praise in this game. in the second quarter, liu li was hit on the head and bleeding and was sent off for emergency treatment. after returning to the court, he immediately caused the opponent to commit a foul. although his overall condition and influence on the game are not comparable to xun sinan's health level, and he does not have the potential to handle the ball on the court, and he was also criticized a lot in the last u17 world cup, liu li deserves more respect for his willingness to take on dirty and tiring work.
zhang boyuan, the absolute core player of the chinese men's basketball team, played for 26 minutes despite having a fever, and scored 15 points, 4 assists and 2 rebounds with 4 of 15 shots, creating a new low in efficiency in this u18 asian cup. he failed to create opportunities to get to the free throw line despite his desperate attacks under the basket time and time again, and his outside shooting percentage was only 2 of 8. however, fighting with new zealand with a fever was perhaps one of the few times in zhang boyuan's career so far that he failed to gain an advantage over players in the same position. if it were a normal situation, zhang boyuan could have considered resting more, but it could be seen on the field that his desire to fight was very high, and he argued with the referee because he failed to get opportunities to get to the free throw line after some impact attacks.
