Abstract
On June 21, China’s men’s basketball team faced Australia’s NBL All‑Stars in their second warm‑up game ahead of the 2019 FIBA Basketball World Cup, held in Nantong. Wang Zhelin delivered an outstanding performance, scoring 23 points and grabbing 9 rebounds, while Abdusalam added 13 points and snatched the game‑winning rebound. The contest featured intense physical battles, a fierce clash of wills, and thrilling last‑minute comebacks. Trailing by 15 points, China rallied to defeat Australia 101–98, securing their second straight victory in a spectacular showdown that left Nantong fans thoroughly exhilarated!
The game began with Wang Zhelin scoring four straight points in the paint, and China’s men’s basketball team capitalized on their rebounding edge to open with a 9–4 run and take the lead. Australia promptly called a timeout; upon returning, they tightened their defense and cut the deficit to 15–18. Late in the quarter, Australia kept chipping away and even tied the score. In the critical moments, Shen Zije stepped up, hitting shots and converting free throws to put his team back ahead. At the end of the first quarter, China led Australia 28–25.
In the second quarter, Australia’s perimeter shooters ignited, as the team exploded for a 10–0 run to take a 35–28 lead. At the critical juncture, Wang Zhelin scored inside, but Lan Baik and Abdusalam followed with back-to-back three-pointers, prompting China to respond with an 8–0 spurt. As the quarter drew to a close, China kept chipping away at the deficit, yet Australia continued to knock down shots from beyond the arc. At halftime, China trailed Australia 47–54.
In the second half, the Chinese men’s basketball team stepped up their defensive intensity, and Kelanbaike hit another three-pointer to cut the deficit to six points. As the quarter drew to a close, Australia’s offense grew somewhat one-dimensional, but Zhang Zhenlin sank a hook shot in the paint for his first-ever point with the national team, bringing China within 67–68. Standell then converted both of his free throws to extend Australia’s lead, and at the end of the third quarter, China trailed Australia 67–70.
In the fourth quarter, Wang Zhelin delivered a steady performance, while Sun Minghui hit a clutch three from beyond the arc, as China’s men’s basketball team tightened its defense to tie the score at 75–75. The two sides then locked into a back-and-forth battle, with Abdusalam sinking a three to put China back in front. Late in the period, the game remained tightly contested, but Kelanbaik caught fire again, knocking down another three to give China a temporary six-point lead. With just five seconds remaining in the quarter, Australia surged with five straight points to cut the deficit to 98–99. Standell’s buzzer-beating three missed, and China ultimately edged Australia 101–98.
Looking back at last night, Nantong’s fans were equally deserving of credit for China’s comeback. The moment we arrived at the Nantong Sports and Exhibition Center, it was clear how deeply passionate and familiar Nantong’s basketball fans are with the sport. With half an hour to go before tip-off, the arena was already packed to capacity. Throughout the game, whenever a Chinese player stepped up to the free-throw line, the crowd would erupt in unison, chanting the player’s name and cheering them on.
At crucial moments in the game, Chinese men’s basketball team sponsors cheered for the team in various ways, Ling Hang. Lubricating oil As the official sponsor of the Chinese national men’s basketball team, during the break between the first and second quarters, a 16-meter-wide banner was unfurled to cheer on the Chinese players: “Go, men’s basketball! China is leading the way! Leading China!” The collective roar of the entire stadium provided the team with powerful moral support.
