On the evening of July 14th, Beijing time, the Chinese men’s basketball team and the Chinese women’s volleyball team attacked on two fronts. As a result, the men’s basketball team encountered difficulties in the second match of the Indonesian Asian Cup group stage. Fortunately, rookie Jiang Weize stepped forward at a critical moment and helped the team to win 80:79 win over Bahrain. In the finals of the Turkish Women’s Volleyball League, the Chinese women’s volleyball team did their best, but they still lost to the Italian women’s volleyball team by a big score of 1:3 in the quarter-finals and missed the semi-finals.
After losing to South Korea in the first game of the group stage, the Chinese men’s basketball team was once again pushed to the forefront of public opinion, which also put a lot of pressure on them. The good news is that the team’s inside core Zhou Qi has finished isolation and arrived from Australia. Jakarta has a round with the national team, but because his body has not fully recovered, he can only sit on the sidelines in this game with Bahrain. After the opening of the China-Pakistan battle, the Chinese team showed momentum in the first quarter. Gu Quan scored 15 points in a single quarter, helping the Chinese team to gain a 29:18 lead. In the second quarter, just as the point difference on the court was widening, the main forward Zhao Rui and point guard Sun Minghui of the Chinese men’s basketball team were ejected in just a few minutes due to their dissatisfaction with the referee’s penalty and their uncool behavior in defense. . As a result, the Chinese men’s basketball team, which was already short of major generals, quickly fell into trouble, and the Bahrain team took the opportunity to chase the score at 41:45 at the end of the half. At the critical moment, 22-year-old Jilin rookie Jiang Weize stepped forward. After his opponent overtook the score, he was in danger and scored 12 points in a row, which not only helped the Chinese team regain the initiative, but also laid the foundation for the final victory. In the whole game, Jiang Weize scored 20 points extremely efficiently in 21 minutes of playing time, plus Gu Quan’s 22 points, Hu Mingxuan’s 9 points, and Xu Jie and Wang Zhelin, who returned from injury, jointly contributed 16 points, the Chinese team was difficult. Land narrowly beat Bahrain by 1 point. In another game in the same group, the Chinese Taipei men’s basketball team lost to the South Korean men’s basketball team by 73:87. As a result, the qualifying situation of this group is basically clear, and the South Korean team will win all three games. Won the first place in the group and directly advanced to the quarter-finals, and the final round of the group between the Chinese team and the Chinese Taipei team will determine which team can take the second place in the group and gain the head-to-head advantage in the crossover play-offs. This will increase the team’s chances of qualifying for the quarterfinals.
The Sino-Italian battle in the World Women’s Volleyball League Finals also attracted attention. In the face of the Italian women’s volleyball team, whose overall strength has been greatly improved through the return of the main force compared with the sub-station competition, the Chinese team coach Cai Bin dispatched the second passer Diao Linyu, the main attack Li Yingying and the Italian women’s volleyball team. The starting lineup consisted of Wang Yunguang, deputy attacker Yuan Xinyue and Wang Yuanyuan, and support Gong Xiangyu and free man Wang Weiyi. Although the Chinese girl took the initiative in the opening stage of the first game, but unfortunately the Italian team had a superstar Egnu. Under her leadership, the Italian team quickly tied the score and won the first game with 25:22. . The situation in the second game remained unchanged. The Italian team took the lead all the way and went to the next victory. In the third game, the Chinese women’s volleyball team pulled back a game with 26:24 by virtue of a high pass rate, excellent blocking and a stalemate performance in the stalemate stage. It is a pity that after the last game was tied at 20, the Italian team did not let the opportunity slip away. They won 25:22 and advanced to the semi-finals as they wished. After this campaign, the Chinese women’s volleyball team ended the journey of the current World Women’s Volleyball League. Next, the team will prepare for the Women’s Volleyball World Championships in September.
