After three group matches, the China Team has 2 wins and 1 loss, currently second in the group.
If they advance in second place, the China Team will meet the team ranked third in Group B in the quarterfinals.
Moreover, China will not be in the same half as Team USA, so they will not meet in the semifinals.
Maintaining the second place is a good option, which means the next two matches against Lithuania and Italy require the China Team to go all out for victory.
On September 22nd, the Chinese Men's Basketball Team had a rest day, but the other Olympic events continued as usual.
Zhan Xugang had a mishap in the snatch of the men's 77-kilogram weightlifting event, falling behind significantly in total weight, but chose to attempt a world record of 207.5 kilograms in his final lift.
This was a weight he had never lifted before, but against all odds, he executed the lift successfully, raising the barbell overhead and winning the gold medal.
