The 2016 Atlas Eight Nations Men's Basketball Challenge will be held from June 14 to June 19 in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province. The participating teams are the Chinese Olympic Men's Basketball Team, the Iranian National Team, the Japanese National Team, the New Zealand National Team, the Macedonian National Team, the Belarusian National Team, the American NCAA Idaho University Team, and the Lithuanian United Team. The Chinese Olympic men's basketball team, Japan, New Zealand and Belarus were divided into a group.
For the Japanese team, the Atlas Eight Nations Men's Basketball Challenge will be a very important warm-up opportunity. In July, the Japanese team will travel to Europe to play in the Rio Olympic Games. Today, the Japanese team announced the list of players in the Atlas Eight Men's Basketball Challenge. Core players such as Yuta Taku, Takeuchi Anduchi and Shin Hieshima were all selected. At last year's Asian Championships, the Japanese men's basketball team won the fourth place and was able to participate in this year's Olympic Games. Of the 12 people who participated in last year's Asian Championships, only Mt. Arao missed this Atlas Challenge, and the Japanese team almost sent the strongest squad to participate in this competition.

Japan, the Czech Republic and Latvia were in the same group in this year's Olympic games, with Serbia, Angola and Puerto Rico in the other group. Only one of the six teams has the opportunity to participate in this year's Rio Olympics, and the emergence of the Japanese team can be imagined to be difficult.
In last year's Atlas Cup International Men's Basketball Challenge, Japan failed to reach the top 4, while the Chinese Olympic men's basketball team defeated Iran to win the championship.
Japan participates in the Atlas Cup men's basketball team challenge roster:
Yuta Takuya, Kosuke Takeuchi, Rangji Takeuchi, Atsuya Ota, Naoto Tsujijiji, Shin Hieshima, Ryuko Sasayama, Ryoma Hashimoto, Kosuke Kanemaru, Keishuro Matsui, Daiki Tanaka, Yuta Watanabe, Takatoshi Furukawa, Fai Barbumaya, Ryuma ono, Kenta Hirose
