Asian Cup group stage summary: East Asia remains strong, West Asia is gradually declining, and Oceania s two heroes are unsolvable

The group stages of the 2025 Men's Basketball Asian Cup have all ended. Overall, it is still quite exciting, with many upsets, such as Taipei, China, ranked 73rd in the world, beat the Philippines, ranked 34th in the world, ranking 95 to 87, Iran, ranked 28th in the world, reversed Japan, ranked 21st in the world, ranking 78 to 70, South Korea, ranked 53rd in the world, defeated Lebanon, runner-up in the previous Asian Cup, 97 to 86, etc. The biggest impression this year is that the East Asian team is still strong, and the West Asian team has gradually declined, and even relying on naturalized players is useless. The two heroes in Oceania are still unsolvable, and they have passed through the obstacles and are in a state of great power. The specific details are as follows:

East Asian team's group stage performance:

Chinese team won 3 wins 0 losses in the group, and directly entered the quarterfinals. Although the Chinese team did not send out the strongest lineup in this Asian Cup, they still performed strongly. Ranked at the top of the tournament in multiple statistics, ranking third in average 94.3 points per game, ranked first in shooting percentage of 51%, and ranked first in three-point shooting percentage of 43.8%. It has been a long time since I saw the Chinese team perform so strongly in the group stage, which is due to their outstanding overall performance. In addition, the strength of the other three teams in the group is relatively weak, and the subsequent games are the real test!

South Korea team ranked second in the group with 2 wins and 1 loss, and participated in the quarterfinals play-offs. The South Korean team was beaten by Australia's 36 points in the first game, and the situation was not devastated. In the last two group matches, the better and better. In the last game, he even defeated Lebanon, the runner-up of the previous session, and the team scored 22 three-pointers. The team's characteristics were fully demonstrated in this game. According to the current trend, the Chinese team's quarter-finals opponent is likely to be South Korea, and it depends on whether the Chinese team can capture this Tai Chi tiger.

The Japanese team ranked second in the group with 2 wins and 1 loss and participated in the quarterfinals play-offs. Many main players of the team did not participate in the competition, and their group stage performance was not very impressive. The opponents who won two big games were not strong, and they lost to Iran in the only tough battle. If you don’t brag or not, this time, Japan will most likely fall into the quarterfinals.

Taipei, China, ranked second in the group with 2 wins and 1 loss, and participated in the quarterfinals play-offs. The Taipei team's performance in the first game of the group stage was eye-catching, and the Philippines, which ranked far higher than before, was defeated and seized the opportunity in the Lord of Death. In the second game, he won a big victory over Iraq and secured a playoff spot in advance. Although he lost to New Zealand in the last game for 40 points, the team's performance has exceeded expectations. I believe that the team will become more and more courageous and be able to achieve good results.

West Asian team's group stage performance:

Iran ranked first in the group with 3 wins and 0 losses, and directly entered the quarterfinals. Although Iran is currently in a state of disagreement, it is still the signature of the West Asian team. Especially the team's defense is extremely outstanding. It did not allow a team to score more than 70 points in three games, and even Japan, which ranked second in this Asian Cup, cannot do it. This is really terrifying!

Saudi Arabia ranked second in the group with 2 wins and 1 loss, and participated in the quarterfinals play-offs. As the host, Saudi Arabia's performance in the group stage was already amazing enough that it almost turned the tables in China in the first game. In the second game, Jordan, which ranked far higher than himself, was defeated by India and took it lightly. Judging from the team's current performance, there is still the capital to challenge the Philippines in the quarterfinals play-offs.

Jordan men's basketball team ranked third in the group with 1 win and 2 losses, and participated in the quarterfinals play-offs. As the last class of the Palace Army, Jordan did not play well in the group stage. The team relies too much on naturalized player Tucker. If he plays well, the team will play smoothly. Whether he plays well or not, the team will be like a headless fly. If no other player can stand up in the subsequent games, he is destined to not go far.

Lebanon ranked third in the group with 1 win and 2 losses and participated in the quarterfinals play-offs. As the runner-up in the previous session, I didn’t expect it to be so. It is understandable that you can't beat Australia, but Qatar, whose ranking is far inferior to that of yourself, almost failed, and it is unreasonable. The last game loss to South Korea was like a waste of time, allowing the opponent to score 22 three-pointers. Lebanon without Araki is just that.

Qatar ranked fourth in the group with 0 wins and 3 losses, and went home. Although Goodwin was naturalized, the team's overall strength was still not strong, and they were also divided into the death group, so it was reasonable that they could not win the ball.

Syria ranked fourth in the group with 0 wins and 3 losses, and returned home. The country is like that, and it would be good to be able to enter the Asian Cup.

Iraq ranked fourth in the group with 0 wins and 3 losses, and went home. Although the team did not win in a single game, it still left a deep impression on everyone. Especially in the first game, he played very tenaciously against New Zealand, but unfortunately he failed to withstand the final loss in the fourth quarter. The last game of the group stage was also remarkable against the Philippines. If you perform better in the third quarter, you may win.

Oceania team's group performance:

Australia ranked first in the group with 3 wins and 0 losses, and directly entered the quarterfinals. Although there are no active NBA players participating in the competition, their overall strength is indeed strong and I feel that I have not really made any effort. No one of the teams behind wants to meet him.

New Zealand ranked first in the group with 3 wins and 0 losses, and went directly to the quarterfinals. The two Oceania heroes are indeed strong, and it is difficult for ordinary Asian teams to pose a threat to them.

Guam ranked third in the group with 1 win and 2 losses, and participated in the quarterfinals play-offs. Guam has a population of only 178,000, so it is not easy to reach the main competition. Now it has reached the quarterfinals play-offs, which has been considered over-completed.

Southeast Asian team performance:

Philippines ranked third in the group with 1 win and 2 losses, and participated in the quarterfinals play-offs. As the former mistress of the Chinese team, the Philippines' strength has declined significantly, and it is played in the group stage and is destined to go far..

South Asian team's group performance:

India ranked fourth in the group with 0 wins and 3 losses, and went home! As the world's largest country in terms of population, can't even find 12 people playing basketball?
