Chinese National Youth Loss 66-90 to Germany

U19 men's basketball team lost to Germany and caught up to a 3-point difference in the third quarter.

In the group matchup of the U19 Men's Basketball World Cup, the Chinese team lost to Germany with a score of 66-90. Although the defeat was expected, we narrowed the gap to 3 points in the second quarter, which is undoubtedly an unexpected highlight. However, after the opponent gradually expanded its advantage, Nair still failed to find an opportunity to counterattack and eventually lost.

In this game, the performance of the three players was particularly impressive. Zhu Zheng is undoubtedly the soul of the team. He can control the situation every moment he is on the court. Whether it is a sharp breakthrough on the offensive end, a tacit cooperation between the team, or a solid wall on the defensive end, he has shown all his strength.

Although he only played for 19 minutes, he effectively contributed 12 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists. Unfortunately, his playing time is not fully guaranteed. Chen Jiazheng also performed well. He scored three consecutive points in the second half and it was also quite threatening to break through with the ball. He made four of seven shots in the game and scored 12 points. He is expected to continue to perform like this in future games.

And Wang Hongze's condition has also recovered. In this game, he began to focus on the inside offense and achieved good results. As long as he can maintain a firm attitude towards the basket on the offensive end, he can still perform well. The whole game scored 11 points.

In addition, Xun Sinan, Feng Ao and Xun Sifeng's performances were also considered passing. Xunsnan and Yu Sifeng's defense at the basket remained steady, which was their strength, but it still needs to be improved on the offensive end. Xun Sinan made three of nine shots in the game, and Xun Sifeng made 2 of 5 shots, with distinct advantages and disadvantages. Feng Ao also showed outstanding strength on the defensive end, but his shooting percentage still needs to be improved.

However, Zhang Boyuan, Zhang Huafei, Hou Mengze, Yang Yi, Liu Li and Cui Xinquan performed relatively sluggish. Zhang Boyuan made frequent fouls in this game, and he committed four fouls in the first half. His shooting percentage was poor, his rebound protection was poor, and he made many mistakes. He needed to reflect deeply. As a 3D player, Zhang Huafei repeatedly made a fuss on the offensive end, and his defense failed to achieve the expected results, and his efficiency needs to be improved. Although Hou Mengze has good speed and height, he has too many mistakes and a poor shooting percentage, so he still needs to continue to hone his skills.

Yang Yi was almost abandoned in this game, and he only played for 11 minutes. He failed to perform as well on both ends of the field and became the team's point loss. Liu Li also performed poorly, and had no obvious advantages on both offense and defense, so it was difficult for him to gain people's expectations again. Cui Xinquan missed consecutive shots in the second half, making two of six 3-pointers in the game, unable to maintain a stable output.
