The scene is based on the basketball media
In the final of the 2022 Men's Basketball Asian Cup, Australia defeated Lebanon 75-73 to win the championship. Lebanon finished second for the fourth time.
New Zealand beat Jordan 83-75 to finish third for the first time.
The Chinese team, which has won the Men's Basketball Asian Cup (and its predecessor, the Asian Championship) 16 times, has failed to reach the top four for two consecutive years, ranking 8th this year.
In 2017, the Men's Basketball Asian Championship was restructured into the FIBA Asian Cup, and the Oceania Championship was merged, and Australia and New Zealand officially joined the Asian Cup. In that year's competition, Australia defeated the previous champion China in the round of 8, and then won the championship against New Zealand and Iran. New Zealand finished 4th.
In this competition, Australia defeated Japan in the round of 8 and New Zealand in the semi-finals. China lost to Lebanon in the quarterfinals.
In this way, the theme of the men's basketball Asian Cup in the future seems to be who will beat the Australian team.
The Men's Basketball Asian Cup has thus completed 30 editions. The Chinese team won 16 championships, ranking first.
The Philippines won the second place in 5 crowns.
Iran 3rd in 3rd crown.
South Korea won 4th with two crowns. They also had 11 runners-up and 12 third-place finishes.
Japan two crowns.
Australia 2 crowns.
