The senior brother of the same school fought, he lost his voice and cried bitterly after he scored 22 points

The quarter-finals of the 2025 Men's Basketball Team Asian Cup officially started. As the top spot in Group C, the Chinese men's basketball team, who directly advanced to the quarterfinals, met their old opponent and defeated Guam in the play-offs to advance. After four quarters of fierce battle, the men's basketball boys withstood the opponent's crazy counterattack, and overcame the practical difficulties brought about by outrageous calls. They will be good at three-pointers, suppressing the South Korean team's outside shooting percentage at 12.5%, and finally took away the victory of this focus battle with an advantage of 8 points, and advanced to the Asian Cup semi-finals again after ten years.

Interestingly, this game is not only a head-on conversation between the two veteran teams who won the Asian Cup 16 times and 2 times respectively, but also a battle between brothers and sisters. In the post-match interview, the young player Wang Junjie, who performed extremely well in this game, revealed: "The opponent's No. 1 and No. 22 are my senior brothers, but we did a good job of restricting them in this game." South Korean team's No. 1 Lee Hyun-chung and No. 22 Lu Jun-seok both graduated from Davidson College (Curry's alma mater) in the United States. They are scorers that the Korean team relied heavily on, especially Lee Hyun-chung, who is now playing in the NBL. He contributed 19.8 points per game in this game, ranking sixth among all players. But in the competition with Wang Junjie, the two senior brothers were at a disadvantage.

Although Lee Hyun-chung scored the highest 22 points in the South Korean team, he only hit 2 goals out of 12 shots outside the three-point line. If it weren't for the 11-3 foul in the third quarter, Li Xian frequently stood on the free throw line and finally handed over a report card of 9 free throws, his score in this game would probably have suffered a Waterloo. After the game, when Li Xianzhong returned to the player channel, he finally failed to control his emotions. He couldn't help but bury his head in the jersey and cried bitterly. The Chinese team's defensive strategy of strangling the three-point line to kill him, which defeated Li Xianzhong's mentality.

In contrast, Wang Junjie, as a junior brother of the same school, couldn't help but rise in the corner of his mouth during an interview, which was a pride. In this game, Wang Junjie played 24 minutes, made 9 of 14 sports games, 6 of 10 of them, and handed over a 21-point and 7 rebounds record. His personal plus and negative value was as high as +12, second only to Gao Shiyan's +15. It was Wang Junjie's continuous score before the end of the first half that helped the Chinese men's basketball team sound the counterattack horn and reverse the situation in one fell swoop. This game is also the fourth time Wang Junjie scored in double digits in this competition. He has made progress in every game, and each game is better than the other.

Some fans may wonder, Wang Junjie's performance is at the thigh level, why was he pressed on the bench by Coach Guo at the last moment? In response, Wang Junjie also clarified in the interview, saying: "I'm sorry that the recovery work was not done well. In the last half of the game, both the calf and the thighs had cramps and could not persist. Fortunately, we still held on and won the victory." The young man did not forget to express his gratitude to Coach Guo, saying that before the game, Coach Guo told them, "I chose the people, and I arranged the tactics, and I will bear the problems." It is precisely because of this that the players let go of their burdens, strictly implement the strategy of preventing three-pointers, and finally won. At the same time, it is also the trust of Coach Guo. Coach Wang can come to the Asian Cup stage with his identity as a CBA player and shine so brightly. The performance of Li Xianzhong and Wang Junjie is a microcosm of the two teams. The Korean men's basketball team has obviously been on a downward trend and has lost the three-pointer to settle down. Their dominance can be seen to be declining from the naked eye. The younger generation of the Chinese team is growing up. Even if they play in the D2 level league in the NCAA, Wang Junjie's growth is so rapid, not to mention Yang Hansen, who is about to debut in the NBA regular season. The so-called newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. When the reporter asked about the goal of this Asian Cup, Wang Junjie replied without hesitation: "Of course it is a championship!" Of course it is good for young people to have motivation, and I also look forward to Wang Junjie continuing to surprise us in the semi-finals.
