The Men's Basketball Asian Cup was originally scheduled to be held in August 2021 in Jakarta, Indonesia, but due to the impact of the epidemic, the Asian Cup was postponed and is now scheduled to be held from July 12 to 24, 2022. There are 16 teams participating in the Asian Cup, and according to the rules of the tournament, 16 teams will be divided into four groups, each with four teams, and the group draw ceremony will take place on February 18.
In the Asian Cup qualifiers, the Chinese men's basketball team performed very well under the leadership of head coach Du Feng, achieving four consecutive victories, thus successfully obtaining a ticket to the Asian Cup. The 16 teams that entered the Asian Cup are the Chinese men's basketball team, the host Indonesia team, the Australian team, the Indian team, the Iranian team, the Japanese team, the Bahrain team, the South Korean team, the Lebanese team, the New Zealand team, the Chinese Taipei team, the Jordan team, the Philippine team, the Saudi Arabia team, the Kazakhstan team, and the Syrian team.
The goal of the Chinese men's basketball team is to impact the championship
The predecessor of the Men's Basketball Asian Cup is the Men's Basketball Asian Championship, which was founded in 1960, held every two years, and has been held for a total of 28 sessions so far, since 2015, the Men's Basketball Asian Championship has been restructured into the Men's Basketball Asian Cup. Since the 8th Asian Championship in 1975, the Chinese men's basketball team has participated in a total of 21 tournaments, and the Chinese men's basketball team has won a total of 16 championships, including 2 consecutive 5 championships and 1 quadruple championship, which is the best team in the history of the Asian Cup.
In the 2017 Men's Basketball Asian Cup, the Chinese men's basketball team lost to the Australian men's basketball team in the quarterfinals under the leadership of Du Feng, thus failing to qualify for the final four and only achieving the fifth place result, which is also the worst result of the Chinese men's basketball team in the Asian Cup. In this Asian Cup, the strength of the Chinese men's basketball team is very outstanding, especially the strength of the Australian team, the Japanese team, and the Iranian team is very prominent, of course, regardless of the strength of the opponent, the Chinese men's basketball team will aim to compete for the championship and impact the final championship.
Zhou Qi will be the key person in the Chinese men's basketball team's championship
Yi Jianlian with the increase of age, coupled with his major injuries, it can be said that now the Chinese men's basketball team has been in a period of change, young players have gradually become the protagonist of the team, from the Asian Cup countdown poster, it can also be seen that Zhou Qi's status in the Chinese men's basketball team, he is the team's male number one. From the current Chinese men's basketball team, Zhou Qi, who is 2 meters 17, has replaced Yi Jianlian and become the top player of the Chinese men's basketball team, and Zhou Qi's performance will also determine whether the Chinese men's basketball team can win the Asian Cup.
In addition to Zhou Qi, Guo Allen, Zhao Rui, Hu Jinqiu, Sun Minghui, Wu Qian, Zhang Zhenlin, Shen Zijie, Wang Zhelin and others will become the backbone players of the Chinese men's basketball team, and they will become the tide of the new Chinese men's basketball team.
