7:26pm, 21 July 2025Basketball

In this summer, it should have been a long-awaited basketball feast for Chinese basketball fans. Both the men and women's adult national teams participated in the Asian Cup, while the U19 youth team participated in the World Cup. However, as time goes by, the three events have either settled or are nearing the end. The results of the Chinese team make people feel helpless and disappointed. Although there is still the final third and fourth place final of the Women's Basketball Team in the Asian Cup and a U19 Women's Basketball World Cup to compete for 11th place, these two games undoubtedly failed to meet the expectations of fans for these two teams.

U19 men's basketball team's performance in the warm-up match is remarkable, so it is regarded as the "golden generation" by many people. But once they stepped onto the stage of the World Championship, they were completely shocked by reality and finally only won the embarrassing result of 13th place. The U19 women's basketball team, which followed, has seemed destined to be unlucky since the core player Zhang Ziyu was called to the national team. After experiencing the bitterness of four consecutive losses, although they defeated the hosts hard to save some face, they will eventually be in a helpless situation of competing for 13th place today. As for the Chinese adult women's basketball team, it was originally widely expected to be able to defend the title successfully, but in the competition with the Japanese team last night, the Chinese people once again felt desperate. Compared to failing to reach the Asian Cup final, what is even more unacceptable is that Japan, South Korea and Australia's outstanding performance in the U19 Women's Basketball World Cup is far superior to our team.

Next, the Chinese men's basketball team will face the challenge of the Asian Cup, and the game is scheduled to start on August 5. The first game will face the host Saudi team. Although Zeng Fanbo was injured in the playoffs against Shanxi and has returned to the national training team, the latest news shows that he will not be able to participate in the Asian Cup. In addition, after ending the first four games of the Trail Blazers' summer league, Yang Hansen will not play in the fifth game today, and will then return to China to join the men's basketball training team. Zhou Qi, who withdrew from the national team due to injury and went to Europe for training, is about to return to the team. At present, except for a few players such as Cui Yongxi, Zhao Jiwei, Zhang Zhenlin, etc., the main players of the Chinese men's basketball team have been assembled. Of course, I have not ignored Lee Kaile's existence, but he will not participate in events such as the Asian Cup.
