This morning, three teams competed for a place in the main games of the Tianjin Challenger, which will send three winners to the Manama Masters: Serbia’s Partizan Meta Force, China’s Qinhuangdao, and Serbia’s Liman.

Both Serbian teams easily defeated their Chinese opponents, but the match between Partizan Meta Force and Liman was much more intense. The teams fought for every point, staying neck and neck throughout the game. However, with just seconds left before the final whistle, luck favored Liman, and they managed to score the winning basket.

Later today, Liman will face China’s Hangzhou.
