"This is only a beginning for our team, not our final goal. The ticket is only a key to open our future," Li said.

Xu repeated that this was "a wonderful" game and a spectacle for all basketball fans.

"You know that we had a lot of difficulties. Originally, we were supposed to be the host in China, but then the venue was changed to Europe. Everybody knows about the novel coronavirus outbreak. So many difficulties we had to overcome in order to play very good today against Spain, in this kind of a hard situation. Thus, the victory is even more valuable to us," he summed up his feelings for international press.

"We still need a lot to improve in the next game (against South Korea), to fix our problems for the future games," he concluded.
