BEIJING, Sept. 2 -- Host China suffered from early foul trouble and made key-time errors, losing to Poland 79-76 after overtime in the 2019 FIBA Basketball World Cup here on Monday.
Both Yi Jianlian and Guo Ailun picked up their third personal foul in the middle of the second quarter, and the host team struggled without their top two scorers.

Point guard Guo was fouled out in the middle of the third quarter, yet both Yi and Zhao Rui kept attacking from the paint to help China get 15 free throws in the period.
After Poland led by three points into the last quarter, China overtook the lead in the later half and still led by one point with six seconds remaining and the ball possession.
Poland then made a key steal when Zhou Qi tried to pass the ball to his teammates, made one of the two free throws to force the overtime at 72-all.
China scored the first point in overtime from the line, but Poland turned out to be the better team. China then made a 5-second violation with nine seconds left, and failed to make it to a double overtime.
