The Chinese men's national basketball team (simplified Chinese: 中国国家男子篮球队; traditional Chinese: 中國國家男子籃球隊; pinyin: Zhōngguó Guójiā Nánzǐ Lánqiúduì) is the national basketball team of China and is governed by the Chinese Basketball Association.[2] Based on the number of tournament titles, China is considered a major basketball powerhouse in Asia and has by far the most successful basketball program there.

History

China has traditionally been the basketball powerhouse in Asia and has won the FIBA Asia Championship 14 out of 16 times from 1975 to 2005.

Team China in 2008 Olympics.

However, the national team failed to defend its championship at the 2007 FIBA Asia Championship. This was due to the automatic berth at the 2008 Beijing Olympics as the host nation, thus, China sent its "B" team to the 2007 FIBA Asia Championship and finished 10th [3] while its primary "A" team participated at the 2007 Stanković Cup which took place around the same time as the 2007 FIBA Asia Championship.

The national team has historically struggled against other top flight non-Asian teams. However, in recent years, China has shown they can beat the top European teams. In the 2004 Athens Olympics, China, coached by Del Harris, advanced to the final eight [4] after a 67–66 win over defending world champion Serbia and Montenegro.

At the 2006 FIBA World Championship, China, coached by Lithuanian Jonas Kazlauskas also advanced to the second round from Group D, earning two victories against Senegal and Slovenia in five group play matches before falling in the round of sixteen to the eventual silver medalists Greece, 95–64; the team's overall placing by the end of the tournament from amongst the twenty-four competing sides was fifteenth.[5]

In 2008, some questions surrounded whether the recently injured Yao Ming would still captain the squad. In mid-July, it was confirmed that he would still continue to be the captain.[6]

In recent years, the national team has faced major struggles with injuries. In 2008, top National Basketball Association prospect Xu Yong was forced to end his career at age 19 after being diagnosed with osteosarcoma.[7] In December 2010, Yao was diagnosed with a stress fracture in his left ankle – the injury is related to the ankle sprain that he suffered earlier that year. Speculations arose whether China's basketball icon would ever be able to play again.[8]

When Yao's retirement was finally announced in July 2011[9] it was considered a big blow to the national team, whose success had largely depended on the star player for many years. Yet, many critics have predicted that China will continue to improve on its international performances.[citation needed]
