On June 29, Beijing time, the first round of Group B of the U17 Men's Basketball World Youth Championship ended, the United States defeated France to occupy the top spot in the group, and China lost the first game against Guinea.
In the first round of Group B, the United States defeated France 104-81, and the United States established a 14-point lead in the first quarter, followed by a close tie in the second quarter, and the United States won by 10 points again in the third quarter, and the two sides tied in the final quarter, and finally the United States won. In this game, Cameron Boozer, the forward of the American team, exploded with 29 points and 12 rebounds, and shot 60% from the field, and his explosive performance helped the American team seal the victory early.
In the first round of Group B, the Chinese team lost to Guinea 92-101, and the Chinese team lost 25 rebounds in the whole game, and the inside line was completely blown up by Guinean center Diane, witnessing the opponent get 28 points and 13 rebounds, Diane's own rebounds are one more than half of the Chinese team. In this game, the Chinese team played well with two people, they were Feng Yubo, who scored 23 points, and Xun Sinan, who scored 25 points, 8 rebounds and 7 blocks, and the other national youth players almost all failed to perform.
Because of the U17 World Youth Championships, all teams have to go to the knockout stage, and if the Chinese team loses all the groups, it will directly face the first place in Group A, whether it is Lithuania or Spain, it is an opponent that the Chinese team is difficult to defeat. I really don't want this World Youth Championship, the Chinese team is hard to find in a lifetime, but after losing the game that should be won, the Chinese men's basketball U17 team is indeed facing difficulties.
