China U17 national team head coach Wang Jianjun believes his side made some real progress looking ahead to the 2016 FIBA U17 World Championship by playing at the 2016 Albert Schweitzer Tournament (AST).
China picked up victories over Egypt and Greece and also had close losses against Italy, the USA and Turkey in finishing eighth of 12 teams in the biennial U18 international invitational tournament held in Mannheim, Germany.
"I am very satisfied with the players' performance. They had some very good games and played the tactics we wanted to and really progressed throughout this tournament," Wang said.
