With the end of the Asian Cup for Women's Basketball Team, the Chinese women's basketball team did not achieve their goal of winning the championship, lost to the Japanese women's basketball team in the semi-finals, and finally won the third place by defeating the Korean women's basketball team. This result disappointed many fans, after all, this team is not inferior to Japan in terms of strength. Especially in the inside, the Chinese women's basketball team has obvious advantages. However, at critical moments, their ability to adapt is obviously insufficient. However, since this has come true, too many complaints will not help solve the problem. It is important to learn from this failure and strive for the 2028 Olympics is the real goal. With the end of the women's basketball competition, the Asian Cup of Men's Basketball Team is about to begin, and the expected game once again brought us closer to basketball.

According to the latest strength list of Asian Basketball League, the Chinese men's basketball team is currently ranked fourth. This ranking highlights that since Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian retired, the dominance of the Chinese men's basketball team in Asia has been weakened. At this stage, the Chinese men's basketball team does not have the strength to compete for the championship. Recently, the Chinese men's basketball team went to Europe for training. After a brief adjustment, two warm-up matches will be held in Hangzhou, which are scheduled for July 24 and 25. After the warm-up match, the Chinese men's basketball team will confirm the 12-man roster.

At the same time, multiple media reported that Yang Hansen was confirmed to return to participate in the Asian Cup after the NBA Summer League, which is exciting. In addition, media person "Director, Where to Lying" revealed that Chinese men's basketball core players Zeng Fanbo and Zhou Qi will also return in the near future. Although Zeng Fanbo was eager to participate in the Asian Cup, he had to withdraw regretfully because his injury had not healed, and he was deeply upset about it. Zhou Qi's back injury has recovered well and is expected to return smoothly, but this information remains to be confirmed.

As the 12-man roster is about to be announced, as usual, the number of players going to the competition site will increase to 14. Based on the existing 17-man lineup and their performance, we predict possible rosters as follows:

Centers: Zhou Qi, Yang Hansen, Yu Jiahao, Hu Jinqiu

Frontlines: Zhao Jiayi, Zhu Junlong, Wang Junjie, Zhang Ning

Defenders: Zhao Rui, Hu Mingxuan, Xu Jie, Liao Sanning, Cheng Shuipeng, Gao Shiyan

There is no dispute over the selection of inside players, but there are differences in the defender position, especially regarding Xu Jie and Gao Shiyan's selection, some fans said it is difficult to understand. I personally believe that Xu Jie still has certain competitiveness in the Asian arena, and his rich game experience, excellent three-point shooting percentage and speed are his advantages. During the group stage, I believe that the Chinese men's basketball team can advance relatively easily. What do you think about this?
