Millions of Chinese basketball fans were heartbroken as China lost in the FIBA World Cup against Nigeria on Sept 8. This eliminated China from the tournament and ended the team’s chance for an automatic berth in the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games. The loss was all the more tragic for fans of 31-year-old player Yi Jianlian. As captain of the Chinese men’s national basketball team, Yi went all out in the tournament, likely his last World Cup. In the loss to Nigeria, he battled ankle pain to carry the team on his shoulders. Yi led all scorers with 27 points in that game. “Yi exhausted all his energy again and again to pull his team back from the edge of the crash. Even though the team failed regrettably in the end, Yi’s struggle undoubtedly touched all the fans,”JQKNews.com noted.
