Can the Chinese men's basketball team win the championship?
In the last tournament, could the Chinese men's basketball team win the championship? Personally, I believe it is quite difficult. Many star players did not participate, including Yang Hansheng, Zhou Qi, and others. After watching several warm-up matches, it seems that the team's synergy and cohesion need improvement.
With strong opponents like Australia, New Zealand, Jordan, South Korea, and the Philippines, it will be very challenging for the Chinese men's basketball team to break through and win the championship.
Currently, many reports online only mention reaching the semi-finals and do not discuss winning the championship.
