U16 defeated New Zealand to advance to the finals! Four players were in double digits, Chen Yu took the initiative to organize, and his offensive and defensive performance was really good!

On September 6, 2025, the men's basketball U16 and New Zealand's Asian Cup semi-finals, we were always behind in the first half, but at the beginning of the third quarter, the pick-and-roll on the offensive end was improved, and the quality on the defensive end was also improved, which allowed the men's basketball team to suppress the offense and defense. Even if there is a power outage at the beginning of the final quarter, the score gap can still be widened through the personal abilities of multiple players, and complete a big victory 86-72 to advance to the Asian Cup final, and it is likely to be against Australia.

The four national youth teams scored in double digits in this game. There are two players here who complete the runaway when the power is off in the final quarter, one is Zhang Yi and Zhao Jie, and the other is Shi Minghao. During that period, they were able to score continuously based on their personal abilities, which is the key to the men's basketball team's climax in the final quarter. Especially Zhang Yi and Zhao Jie, he scored 24 points in the game, becoming the biggest focus.

Of course, Zhou Zhanfeng and Zhao Boxin are still very efficient. Among them, Zhou Zhanfeng is the most stable point in the national youth field at present. He made 4 of 6 three-pointers in the game and finally scored 14 points. In addition, Zhao Boxin, his efficiency is perfect enough. As an inside player, he ended stably at the basket, had a high free throw shooting percentage, and rebounding was the highest point in the team. He finally won 17+11, which is an important guarantee for the team.

, and Chen Yuxiu's organizational ability is also extremely stable. Especially before this game, Chen Yuxiu's organization was the second place in the entire tournament. This game gave 8 assists, which is still above his average. And as far as his positive and negative values ​​are concerned, the whole game is +19, ranking second in the team, second only to Zhang Yi and Zhao Jie.

Of course, the biggest surprise is the team's offensive and defensive execution. Especially when our offensive end was not opened in the first half, defense can help the team bite the single digits. And the reason why the situation was reversed in the second half was because of the lethality of defense. In addition, the offensive transmission ball is very smooth, the three-pointers are accurate, and the coaching staff does not make random substitutions, which is increasing the team's upper limit.
