It is worth mentioning that Yang Yi, who started for 26 minutes, did not score in the game, but he showed an extremely high level in organizational connection, sending 17 assists and contributing 2 steals, revitalizing the team's offense. Although Yang Yi is not tall and his shortcomings in his lack of three-point ability on the outside are magnified when facing a high-level back line abroad, he created a large number of scoring opportunities for his teammates through his excellent passing vision and organizational skills in this game, proving his value in the team.

After this game, the Chinese U19 Men's Basketball Team will enter the 13-14th qualifying match, and its opponent is the Cameroon U19 Men's Basketball Team.
