On June 29, Beijing time, the U17 Men's Basketball World Cup kicked off in Turkey, and the Chinese team played the first game against the Guinean team.
China are in Group B with the United States, France and Guinea, with the United States and France finishing in the top two of the 16 participating teams, with Guinea 12th and China 14th. The Chinese team aims to get off to a good start in this campaign to avoid a win in the group stage.
In the first quarter of the game, the Chinese team fell behind 2-8 at the beginning, and then Feng Yubo hit three points in a row, He Wenwei also scored three points, the Chinese team overtook the score 15-14, and the Guinean team played a wave of 12-0 offensive climax in the second half to open the difference, and at the end of the first quarter, the Chinese team fell behind 22-30. In the second quarter of the competition, Liu Li hit two shots in a row, Feng Yubo hit two free throws, the Chinese team narrowed the difference to 6 points, and in the second half of the game, the Guinean team reopened the difference to 10 points through defensive counterattacks, and the Chinese team fell behind 43-52 at halftime. Yibian fought again, the Chinese team played a 6-0 offensive to narrow the difference, Diane scored consecutive baskets to help the Guinean team stabilize the situation, and then the Chinese team entered a scoring drought, and the Guinean team continued to expand the lead with more blossoms, and at the end of the third quarter, the Chinese team fell behind 64-78. In the last quarter of the game, the Guinean team steadily maintained a lead of about 10 points, the Chinese team could not chase the points, and the game gradually lost suspense, and finally the Chinese team lost to the Guinean team 92-101.

Guinea player stats: Diane 28 points and 13 rebounds, N. Toure 20 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists, A. Toure 18 points, Masengo 7 points.
Seven facts that have to be admitted:
1. The rebounding of the Chinese team was played by the Guinean team at 28:57, which is also one of the biggest reasons for the loss of this game. I have to admit that the players of the African team Guinea are really good in physical fitness and excellent in jumping, and the Chinese team is completely at a disadvantage in terms of physicality.
2, U17 Guinea men's basketball team as the African champion team is not in vain, the Guinean team's starting center Divane cut 28 points and 13 rebounds in this game, starting guard N. Toure 20 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists, the Guinean team has as many as 8 players playing in the United States, Canada, France and other places, especially Diwane is not only excellent in body, but also has comprehensive skills, maybe he can log in to the NBA in the near future.
3, Xun Sinan is the highest player in the Chinese team, he played 26 minutes, shot 8 of 15, 1 of 2 three-pointers, 8 of 9 free throws, and got 25 points, 8 rebounds and 7 blocks.
4. Feng Yubo is the second-best player on the Chinese team, he played 28 minutes, shooting 5-of-9, 4-of-7 three-pointers, and 9-of-11 free throws, scoring 23 points. Feng Yubo is the most stable firepower of the Chinese team on the outside in this game, and he is accurate in three points and has helped the team stabilize the situation many times.
5. Zhang Boyuan's performance collapsed, Zhang Boyuan played 26 minutes, shot 4 of 13, 2 of 6 three-pointers, scored 11 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists, and the plus/minus was the lowest in the game -16. Zhang Boyuan is invincible in the Asian competition venue, and he is used to playing with his body in China, but he still wants to get physical with the other party in this kind of world competition, but it is obvious that the opponent's physical fitness is better, he wants to prove himself too much, he plays a little too lonely, and he also misses a lot of vacant opportunities, and he does not see any progress in Zhang Boyuan.
6. The Chinese team's performance in this game is acceptable, with a shooting rate of 35.5% on 11 of 31 three-point shots, and a shooting rate of 80.6% on 29 of 36 free throws.
7. The Chinese team lost to the Guinean team and suffered a black start, and the next two group games will be against France and the United States, and the Chinese team is likely to suffer three consecutive defeats in the group stage. World basketball is really improving, and the Chinese team has indeed been out of touch with world basketball, facing the African team Guinea in this game, the physical fitness is not as good as the opponent, the technical aspect is also inferior to the opponent, the senior team has missed the Olympic Games in a row, and has refreshed the shameful record again and again, the youth team is also difficult to win in the World Series, and the Chinese men's basketball team will be difficult to turn over in the future.
