Amazing! Shooting 11 for 8! Chinese men's basketball unleashes another surprise weapon.

On fire, absolutely on fire.

This season, the Shanghai team has completely evolved into a Great Shark.Currently reclaiming the top spot in the league with a 26-4 record.They are one of the biggest championship favorites—perhaps even the only one.

In the recently concluded game where Shanghai crushed Shanxi 112-80 away, the team shot 21 out of 34 three-pointers, with an astonishing accuracy of about 62%.

Shanxi team's stats are as follows:

Li Hongquan undoubtedly shone brightest in this match.Starting and playing less than 20 minutes, he shot 11 for 8, including 9 for 7 from three-point range, contributing 27 points plus 5 rebounds, with a +25 plus/minus leading the entire game.He dominated the opponent to the point of utter helplessness.

Born on September 29, 2001, this guy is a heavy forward at 1.98m & 102kg, swinging between the three and four positions. This season so far, he has played 27 games with 26 starts, averaging 29 minutes per game for 12.6 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 1.7 assists, with a shooting percentage of 48.4%, and hitting 2.4 three-pointers per game at a 42% accuracy.

During the second window of the past World Cup qualifiers, Li Hongquan, as a national team rookie, was heavily utilized by Guo Shiqiang. Over two games totaling about 41 minutes, he shot 11 for 4 (3-pointers 6 for 1) and secured 12 points and 12 rebounds, becoming a major surprise weapon. He played a crucial role in the team's consecutive victories over Japan and Chinese Taipei, especially bringing defensive energy that stats cannot fully capture.

In the third window of the World Cup qualifiers this July, the Chinese men's basketball team will face Japan and Chinese Taipei again. Provided Li Hongquan remains injury-free, he will clearly continue to be included. Through his hard work and fighting spirit, he has successfully secured a spot in the fiercely competitive national team.

It's worth noting that Li Hongquan was born and raised in Canada, but chose to join Chinese citizenship and return to his homeland at age 16. This year, he finally realized his dream of representing the country. His debut in the official national team match against Japan left him shedding tears of emotion afterward.

Finally, congratulations once again to the Shanghai team and to Li Hongquan.
