The are the
Basketball side who represent the
People's Republic Of China in international competitions. The team is generally recognized as the best in
Asia , and has won more
FIBA Asia Championship s than that of any other nation.
China has traditionally been the basketball power in Asia, and won the
FIBA Asian Championship 14 out of 16 times from 1975 to 2005.
However, China failed to defend its championship at the 2007
FIBA Asian Championship . This was due to the automatic berth at the
2008 Summer Olympics as the host nation, thus China sent its "B" team to the recent
FIBA Asia Championship 2007 and finished 10th while its primary "A" team participated at the 2007
Stanković Cup which took place around the same time as the
FIBA Asian Championship . During the event, China lost twice to the
Philippine National Basketball Team which, coincidentally, was grouped with the former (along with Jordan and Iran which eventually won the title).
The team has struggled against top-flight non-Asian teams. However, in recent years, China has shown they can beat top European teams. In the
Athens 2004 Olympics China, coached by
Del Harris , advanced to the final eight after a 67-66 win over defending world champion
Serbia And Montenegro .
At the
2006 FIBA World Championship , China, coached by
Jonas Kazlauskas also advanced to the second round from
Group D , earning two victores (against
Senegal and
Slovenia ) in five
Group Play matches before falling in the
Round Of Sixteen to eventual
Silver Medal list
Greece , 95-64; the team's
Overall Placing from amongst the twenty-four competing sides was fifteenth.
