AS SALT (Jordan) – Huan Sifeng bannered the balanced attack as China ripped Qatar, 99-43, to go 2-0 in the FIBA U18 Asia Cup 2024, Tuesday at the Arena Complex.

The 2.09 M (6’10”) big man went an excellent 6-of-7 from the floor, including a tret, and finished with 13 points as he sparked his side’s pullaway late in the first quarter toward gaining the provisional lead in Group C with a perfect 2-0 record.

Team China were only leading by six until a dunk of his proved to be the point where momentum would completely shift their way, as they went on to outscore their foes, 13-6, to conclude the said chapter holding a 28-15 advantage.

Soon they would double their lead to 50-25 entering the break, and the squad never faced any resistance as all hands were on deck to ensure as much.

Li Liu also came through with 13 points, along with 7 rebounds. Zhang Boyuan, the star of their conquest of Kazakhstan 24 hours ago, had 11 points this time. Zhang Huafei added 10, as all 12 players scored at least 2 points thanks to their 31 assists.
