Determined to turn the tables, the Chinese team made strategic adjustments to their lineup, which paid off from the very first tip-off. The early lead set the tone for the rest of the game, showcasing China's improved gameplay and tactical prowess.
One standout player was Hu Mingxuan, who delivered a game-high 18 points in 31 minutes of play.
