Asian basketball is divided into the following gears
First team: Australia, New Zealand, China, Iran
Second-bracket teams: South Korea, Philippines, Japan
Three-tier teams: Lebanon, Jordan
Four teams: Chinese Taipei, Kazakhstan, Palestine, Syria, Bahrain
In the Asian context, the Australian men's basketball team is undoubtedly the vanguard. In recent years, the Chinese team has not been able to pick up the yellow, the level has shown a downward trend, there is a feeling that there is no successor, and the performance and ability of coach Du Feng are very ordinary.
In this Asian Cup, the Chinese team played very hard in the case of untidy personnel. Losing to South Korea and Lebanon and narrowly defeating Bahrain is very disappointing.
Once Iran retires at the age of 37, the strength will also decline. Lebanon and Jordan reached the final four with naturalized players, but the overall strength was still slightly worse than China, South Korea, Japan and the Philippines.
