Spain Beats China in Exciting 3×3 Basketball World Cup Showdown! 🏀
Hey basketball fans! Did you catch the thrilling game between China and Spain at the FIBA Men’s 3×3 World Cup? It was a nail-biter! 🤯
On Saturday in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, Spain edged out China with a score of 21-16 in the quarterfinals. The Spaniards came out strong, driving towards the basket from the very start. But China’s Zhang Dianliang hit an awesome long-range shot to keep his team in the game! 🎯
The game was super close. Spain was ahead most of the time, but China never gave up. Wu Xingrui made two free throws, and Guo Hanyu sank a two-point jumper (that’s like a three-pointer in regular basketball!) to push China into the lead for a bit. 🚀
But after some fouls, the game was tied at 16-16. In the end, Spain scored five points in a row to win the game. What a finish! 🏁
Even though China didn’t win, they played amazingly well! This was their best performance ever at the 3×3 World Cup, making it all the way to the top eight teams. 🎉 They have lots to be proud of and hope to do even better next time!
As for Spain, they move on to face Germany in the semifinals. Good luck to both teams! 🤞
Did you know? 3×3 basketball is a fast-paced version of the game we love, played with three players on each team and one hoop. It’s super fun to watch and play! Have you ever tried it? 🏀
