The final ranking of the men s basketball team in Asia: Japan is 9th, China is 2nd, and its strength list is less than that of Japan

The 2025 Men's Basketball Asian Cup has ended, and the final ranking of the Men's Basketball Asian Cup has also been released. Judging from this ranking, the Chinese men's basketball team has broken away from the 8th position in Asia and became a strong Asian team, ranking surpassing the Japanese men's basketball team, second only to the Australian men's basketball team.

The final ranking of the 2025 men's basketball team in the Asian Cup, the Australian men's basketball team ranked first, the Chinese men's basketball team followed closely, and the Iranian men's basketball team ranked third. The Japanese men's basketball team's ranking declined very significantly, from the original ranking second to the ninth place in the standings.

No. 4 New Zealand men's basketball team, 5th Taipei men's basketball team, 6th Korean men's basketball team, 7th Philippine men's basketball team, and 8th Lebanese men's basketball team. The Japanese men's basketball team has the most severe decline in rankings, and the fastest-rising ones are the Chinese men's basketball team, the Taipei men's basketball team and the South Korean men's basketball team.

Runner-up is the best result of the Chinese men's basketball team in 10 years, and the ranking is also the highest ranking of the Chinese men's basketball team in 10 years. Regardless of whether it is admitted or not, if Zhou Qi, Yang Hansen, Zeng Fanbo, Zhao Jiwei, Sun Minghui, Zhang Zhenlin and others did not participate in the competition, the Chinese men's basketball team broke into a cocoon and became a strong Asian team.

In the eyes of Korean fans and in the hearts of Japanese fans, what surprised them was that they could fight the Australian men's basketball team for 3.9 seconds, and in the end, the Chinese men's basketball players had to control their own destiny, which has never been done in Asian teams.

Not only that, after the end of this game, Australian men's basketball head coach Capon admitted that his coaching ability was not as good as Chinese men's basketball head coach Guo Shiqiang. His tactics were too clever and suppressed the Australian men's basketball whole game. When the score difference was the largest, he was 15 points behind the Chinese men's basketball team.

Therefore, looking at this Asian Cup, the only one who can truly compete with the Australian men's basketball team in terms of offense and defense intensity and technical and tactical level is the Chinese men's basketball team. With the absence of seven main players, they can fight the world's seventh-ranked Australian men's basketball team until the last 3.9 seconds and lose with 1 point, which is a miracle in itself.

After this Asian Cup, Japan and South Korea can also make Japan and South Korea look at the Chinese men's basketball team with admiration, and make the Australian men's basketball team realize that their position in Asia has begun to shake, and also build confidence among the young men's basketball team, and make those who think that this Chinese men's basketball team is not good enough to see the hope and future of the Chinese men's basketball team.

We need to open our eyes to the world, there is no need to lower our heads and learn from Australia and learn from the Japanese B League, because the Japanese men's basketball team is not as good as us.

From the perspective of Asian strength list, the Australian men's basketball team is still the first, the Japanese men's basketball team surpassing the Chinese men's basketball team and ranking second, the New Zealand men's basketball team ranked third, and the Chinese men's basketball team followed closely, ranking fourth.

This is a great improvement in the ranking of the Chinese men's basketball team, and it is also an external demonstration of the strength of the Chinese men's basketball team. We should not underestimate ourselves. It is time for us to regain our confidence. The day for the rise of the Chinese men's basketball team has arrived.
