No matter how much we enjoy watching NBA games, how much we like NBA teams, and even argue over different opinions. The favorite teams have changed one after another, and only the Chinese men's basketball team is our favorite team, the team with the most unified opinions and will not scold each other because of different opinions. No matter how poor their level is, the men's basketball team will always be the children we have to support.
Let me take stock of the Olympic journey of the Chinese men's basketball team.
In 1936, the head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team, Dong Shouyi, led the team to participate in the Olympic Games for the first time, and was humiliated in four games, and the Chinese men's basketball team was also like the weak motherland at that time, crushed and ravaged by strong enemies. The scores were 19-35 against Japan, 45-38 against France to save their dignity, 21-29 to Peru and 14-42 to Brazil. In terms of the situation at that time, no one could lose, but not To Japan. But what can be done? Can't beat it.
He failed to qualify for the 1948 London Olympics. In the finals of the 17-23rd place, he defeated Switzerland 42-34 and the host United Kingdom 54-25 to lose 38-54 to Italy in the 17th and 18th qualifying rounds to finish 18th.
1952 was the first time new China participated in the Olympic Games. Due to special reasons at that time, the Chinese men's basketball team arrived in Helsinki when the basketball group game was over, so it did not play the game.
In the following 32 years, China was ostracized by the great powers and the catastrophe of the decade, and the men's basketball team failed to participate. After the reform and opening up, the men's basketball team returned to the Olympic arena in 1984. Men's basketball player Wang Libin served as the flag bearer of the Chinese delegation at the opening ceremony of the Los Angeles Olympic Games.
The men's basketball team won 2 wins and 5 losses in this competition and finally achieved the tenth place. The first match against Jordan's Dream Team collapsed, losing 49-97. In the second game, he narrowly defeated France by two points 85-83, and lost to Canada 80-121 in the third game. He lost 83-102 to Spain in the fourth game and lost 67-74 to Uruguay in the fifth. He beat Egypt 76-73 in his sixth game and lost Brazil 76-86 in the last. In this competition, the men's basketball team scored 3 people in double figures, namely Liu Jianjian 15.3 points, Wang Libin 14.6 points, and Li Yaguang 11.1 points. The list of participants in this competition is as follows.

At the 1988 Seoul Olympic Games, the Chinese men's basketball team went out again, finishing 11th. The group stage again met with the United States team also suffered a fiasco, the score was 57-108. In qualifying, he won back his face with a 97:75 victory over Egypt. The men's basketball players in this tournament Daniel Zhang showed the level of world-class shooters, and averaged 20.6 points per game as a highlight. In addition, Song Ligang scored 17.4 points and Wang Fei averaged 9 points per game. The list of this year's Chinese men's basketball team is as follows.

At the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games, the Chinese team swallowed zero eggs in seven games. In the group stage, they encountered their old rival Venezuela, losing 88-96. In this game, Gong Xiaobin scored 18 points, Sun Jun 16 points, and Hu Weidong 13 points. China's interior line performance is weak in rebounding protection, and losing 20 rebounds is the main factor in losing. Qualifying and Venezuela met again, the Chinese team Li Chunjiang, Ma Jian, Song Ligang, Daniel Zhang Jun due to injury the absence of the men's basketball team has too much impact, although Hu Weidong and Wu Qinglong, Sun Jun scored 20+, but in the end still lost to Venezuela 97-100. The three members of the men's basketball team scored in double figures, namely Sun Jun 16.1 points, Wu Qinglong 12.9 points, and Hu Weidong 11.6 points.
