Let's first look at the Group B where the Chinese team is located. The Chinese team is not lucky and is in the same group as the three strong teams in Germany, Canada and Slovenia in the group stage. In his debut against Canada, Zhu Zheng scored the first goal of the Chinese team with three-pointer. Zhang Boyuan scored 4 points in a row. The Chinese team scored a 7-2 start, but then the Chinese team fell into a scoring drought. Canada used its excellent physical fitness and second offense to overtake, and Feng Ao made two free throws and one of them. Yang Yi and Chen Jiazheng made three-pointers in a row to stabilize their position, but in the last minute, the Chinese team was beaten 6-0 by Canada, and the Chinese team was 8 points behind 16-24. The Chinese team made frequent mistakes in the second quarter, and the score difference was widened by double digits.
