Four players scored double-digit points and helped China beat Jordan 86-76 in Hefei on Friday in an Asian Games men's basketball warmup.

Both China's Zhao Tailong and Shirelijan scored 16 points, Zhai Xiaochuan had 12 points, Ding yanyuhang added 11 points and Wang Zhelin finished with 7 points and 5 rebounds.

Jordan's Alsous scored a game-high 20 points, Aldwairi and Alawadi had 19 and 12 points respectively.

Jordan scored first and led in the beginning of the match, but Chinese players quickly adjusted and used a 7-0 run to overtake and never trailed after that.

Due to consecutive shots from Aldwairi and Alsous, Jordan narrowed the gap to five points with 5 minutes left in the fourth period but failed to overtake.

China head coach Gong Luming said: "There was something wrong with our defence in the second half and we will figure it out."

In the first match of the Sino-Jordan Chanllenge on Wednesday, China beat Jordan 105-80. The final match of the warm-up tournament will take place in Foshan, China's Guangdong Province.

Both sides will attend the 2014 Incheon Asian Games, which will start on Sept. 19.
