On July 5th, in the classification matches for places 9 to 16 at the FIBA U17 Basketball World Cup, the Chinese men’s basketball team fell to Egypt with a score of 73-85, setting up a contest for positions 13 to 16. In this match, China was completely outmatched in the battle for rebounds, having only 11 total rebounds in the first half compared to Egypt’s 29, with an impressive 13 offensive boards. However, thanks to Li Yuezhou’s standout performance, China was just down by two points at halftime. As the game progressed, China’s struggles on the glass persisted, ending the match with a total rebounding deficit of 32-52, losing by a whopping 20 rebounds. It would have been miraculous to win under such circumstances. The Chinese team played quite well through the first three quarters, but their performance in the final quarter was abysmal, leading to their eventual defeat.
