Looking back, Westbrook forced a layup to beat Ding Jinhui, making the score 2+1!

The dream team also overtakes us!

"Teacher Su, the players on the US team are too strong!" Yu Jia said helplessly.

Su Qun adjusted his glasses and said: "There's nothing we can do about it. We do have a lot of talent reserves, and there are still many big names in the United States who haven't come yet! Let's see how long Xie Kai and Arab League can hold on in this game.

"What I'm worried about is whether we can withstand the opponent's pressing defense in the second half when our physical fitness declines."

Westbrook made an extra free throw, and the Dream Team pushed the lead to 2 points!

Sun Yue dribbled the ball over and passed it to Ding Jinhui in the high position.

Xie Kai and Ding Jinhui exchanged hands. He suddenly made a continuous cross change and forced a cut in. When he encountered Wang Shipeng who was flanked and split the bottom corner!

Wang Shipeng got the opportunity and shot a 3-pointer - there it was!

Chinese men's basketball team takes over!

"Beautiful, Dapeng shot the ball decisively!" Yu Jia exclaimed.

Su Qun lamented: "Our players must be decisive, otherwise there will be no chance!"

Xie Kai and others withstood the Mengjiu team's counterattack in the second quarter, leading the team with a score of 49:50 before halftime, only trailing their opponents by 1 point.

The fans at the scene were also impressed by the tenacity and fighting qualities of the Chinese men's basketball team and gave them warm applause.

Xie Kai scored a game-high 19 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals and 1 block in the first half, proving the significance of his existence with his performance.

The game entered the intermission period.

The intensity of the game is very high, and the physical energy consumption of both sides is very high. The difference is that the American team has sufficient manpower and their physical condition is much better. The Chinese men's basketball team has short rotations, the core players play too long, and their physical condition is not optimistic.

The third quarter of the game started quickly.

As soon as the game started in the third quarter, the U.S. team began to show its strength. Billups and Durant hit consecutive outside shots, instantly achieving a very high success rate. However, the Chinese men's basketball team made more mistakes and was quickly beaten by their opponents.

A small climax of 7:1, falling behind by 7 points.

Deng Huade requested a timeout, and after the timeout came back, the game continued.

The Chinese men's basketball team attacked. Liu Wei and Sun Yue made consecutive breakthroughs. After Xie Kai received the ball from them, he missed Iguodala and hit the key 3-pointer!

Then Xie Kai blocked Rose on the defensive end and grabbed the ball.

Switching from defense to offense, Xie Kai scored another 3-pointer, narrowing the difference between the two sides to 1 point again!

"The Chinese men's basketball team's offense during this period has been entirely supported by Xie Kai!" Su Qun sighed.

Durant misses the mid-range shot on the Dream Team!

Yi Jianlian grabbed the rebound.

Liu Wei dribbled the ball over and then broke it up.

Xie Kai was flanked when he carried the ball to the left wing. He calmly passed the ball to Yi Jianlian under the basket. The latter dunked successfully and took the lead!

The fans at the scene were shocked. The Chinese men's basketball team actually took the lead again. What kind of operation was this? Most of them originally thought that the Dream Team would widen the gap in one breath. Who knew?

I felt like I was being thanked and someone came back.

Who is this Xie Kai? Fans who don't know him secretly made a mental note of this handsome-looking Chinese player.

In the third quarter of the game, with the cooperation of Xie Kai, Yi Jianlian and Wang Shipeng, the Chinese men's basketball team withstood the counterattack of the Dream Team.

At the end of the third quarter, the two sides were tied at 74!

Xie Kai scored 30 points in the third quarter and became the highest scorer in the game.

"Mr. Su, I am really touched by the fighting spirit of our players! It is not easy. The opponent is too strong and there is no chance to breathe at all!" Yu Jia said.

Su Qun nodded in agreement: "It's really remarkable to be able to fight like this."

Although the score is tied, the reason why Su Qun and Yu Jia said this is because the main players of the Chinese men's basketball team have consumed too much physical energy. It is difficult to imagine that they can maintain the intensity of the first half in the final quarter.

In the final quarter of the game, the Chinese men's basketball team's physical fitness alerted, and the once evenly matched situation was broken, and the situation moved in the direction of the dream team.

Xie Kai and Ah Lian are in pretty good physical condition, but veterans Wang Zhizhi and Liu Wei can no longer keep up with each other.

From the middle of the last quarter, the Chinese men's basketball team was unable to chase points, and the final game lost its suspense.

In the end, the Chinese men's basketball team lost to the Dream Nine team with a score of 90:100 and missed the chance to advance to the top four.

Although they lost this game, the Chinese men's basketball team was proud of the defeat. They were not able to immediately create the best record in the new Men's Basketball World Championships, but they created the "minimum loss record" against the Dream Team——

10 points.

The Chinese men's basketball team once tied with the American Dream Team despite being physically fit, which caused the world basketball world to re-examine this team from East Asia, composed of pure yellow players.

The scene erupted with lasting applause, and everyone understood that not all the fans' applause was given to the winning dream team.

Xie Kai scored a game-high 39 points in this game, plus 11 rebounds, 8 assists, 4 steals and 2 blocks. He gave his all on the court.

After the game, all the players from the Dream Team came over to hug him. Heroes cherish heroes. This tough and tenacious style of play is something that no player doesn't like.

Xie Kai didn't feel any regrets. In this kind of game, he and his team had given everything they had. There was a clear gap in strength between the two sides. This was the key factor that ultimately determined the outcome of the game.

After the game, Coach K, the head coach of the Dream Team, said: "The Chinese men's basketball team played very well. Kane Xie is a very good player. I am looking forward to his performance in Memphis next season!"

Chinese men's basketball coach Deng Huade said after the game: "We lost to a powerful dream team. There is nothing to be ashamed of. We know what heights we can reach. Next we will fight for rankings and hope to create new

history!"

After this game, the Chinese men's basketball team's dark horse journey has finally come to an end. Next, the victorious Dream Nine team will compete in the semi-finals, while the Chinese men's basketball team will participate in the qualifying rounds for 5th to 8th place.

Although it has lost the opportunity to compete for medals, the Chinese men's basketball team is still very hopeful to create its best record in the Men's Basketball World Championships.

The popularity of the Chinese men's basketball team has soared in Turkey, and Xie Kai's popularity is growing exponentially around the world.

According to the schedule, the Chinese men's basketball team will face the current world No. 1 Argentina team at 2:00 on September 11, and the European Slovenia team at 20:00.

The core of the Argentine men's basketball team, Manu Ginobili, was absent. In the quarter-finals, they lost to the European strong team Lithuania 85:104, a huge disadvantage of nearly 20 points, and failed to enter the top four.

The Slovenian team was defeated by the host Türkiye team in the quarter-finals.
