Olympics Men’s Basketball: Venezuela vs China
Next: 50 greatest Summer Olympians in history.
Group A in the Olympics men’s basketball competition prepared themselves to get back onto the hardwood and do battle on Wednesday, August 10 on Day 5 of the 2016 Rio Olympics. After a day off and with two results already under all six teams’ belts, it was time to start really jockeying for position in the group to better position themselves to not only get into the knockout stages from the preliminary round, but also to get the best matchup in the next round. However, Venezuela vs China would be more about just trying to get their first win on the table.
Both Venezuela and China have already faced the best team in Group A and in the Olympics men’s basketball competition in USA Basketball and both lost handily. Additionally, China lost to France by 28 points in their other game while Venezuela dropped their other matchup against Serbia by over 20 points as well. Now they’ll look to keep hope alive in Rio by trying to get that first victory that’s eluded them to this point.
This Venezuela vs China matchup in Olympics men’s basketball will be broadcast on the Olympics Basketball Channel in real time. Live streaming of the event will also be available through NBCOlympics.com and the NBC Sports app, both of which can be accessed by logging in with a cable or satellite subscription.
