According to the previous grouping situation, the Chinese men's basketball team is in Group B. Chinese Taipei , South Korea, Bahrain . From the perspective of comprehensive strength, only the Korean men's basketball team may pose a certain threat. It is very difficult for the other two teams to defeat the Chinese men's basketball team. The men's basketball team has a very clear chance of entering the knockout rounds.
However, in this Asian Cup, the Chinese men's basketball team has many potential opponents. In addition to the previous champion Australia, there are also the Philippines, Japan, New Zealand , Kazakhstan .
Watanabe has announced his return to the Japanese men's basketball team. From the Group C matchup, there are uncertain factors as to whether Japan can get a chance to directly advance. However, in terms of staffing and style of play, Japan's counterattacks and three-pointers, He once caused trouble for China in the world preliminaries. If Watanabe can make a strong return, Japan's comprehensive strength cannot be underestimated. Kazakhstan once defeated Iran in the world preliminaries and became the first team in the standings. According to the staffing and chemical reaction, it will be a strong opponent of the Chinese men's basketball team.
The Philippines has many naturalized players. There is no accurate information on whether the player team will send its strongest players to the competition, but what is certain is that with the large number of naturalized and American students joining, the Philippines' status in the Asian basketball world is on the rise.
New Zealand and Australia are teams ranked higher than the Chinese men's basketball team in the world. Australia ranks third in the world and New Zealand is 25th.

For such a military order, it is obvious that the men's basketball team dares to announce the goals of the men's basketball team in advance. By giving the outside world an attitude, this men's basketball team will challenge for the championship in the Asian basketball world after finishing the World Cup preliminaries. Players need to maintain sufficient concentration. There are old rivals Japan and South Korea, as well as Australia and New Zealand. The overall difficulty is very obvious. If we can defeat this Australian team in the Asian competition, it will be the best revenge. After all, after leaving Melbourne, the home court advantage will be great.
