The Chinese men's national basketball team suffered a 30-point loss when losing to the Phoenix Suns 64-94 on Friday to close out their stay in the NBA Summer League and are heading home with one victory in five games.

China took a 4-0 lead in the first quarter as Zhao Rui and Zhai Xiaochuan both scored on layups. Phoenix players came from behind with stellar defense, however, grabbing a nine-point lead at the end of the period and turning their momentum into a 21-point halftime lead.

After the break, the Suns led by as many as 37 points. China struggled to fight back, even as Hu Jinqiu and Shen Zijie combined for six points to narrow the gap. China's star guard Guo Ailun played vigorously in an effort to turn the tide, including one successful shot from the 3-point line and two layups, but Phoenix controlled the game with a balanced offensive attack and great defense to seal the victory.

As for the standout individual performances, Guo led the way for China with 15 points, while adding three rebounds, two assists and one steal. Hu Jinqiu finished with 11 points and five rebounds, while Shen Zijie supplied 10 points.

Prior to this game, China had lost three out of four in Las Vegas and did not make the playoffs of the Summer League. The team's coach Li Nan said after the final whistle that, game results aside, the players' performance on the court was more important. He added that he would take all factors into consideration while deciding the final squad list for the World Cup to be held August 31 to September 15 in China.
