A 1-point loss is a shame, and the passion is hard to cool down - the Chinese men s basketball team is back! !

Stranger! Extremely strange! ! !

In the early morning of August 18, after four quarters of fierce battle, the Chinese men's basketball team lost to the strong rival Australia 89-90, winning the runner-up of the 2025 FIBA Asian Cup.

In the past few years, the cliff-like and accused Chinese men's basketball team has suddenly won the recognition and respect of thousands of Chinese fans in a heart-pounding manner.

Even without a champion, even if it is covered in bruises, it cannot change the fact that the Chinese men's basketball team, which was considered to have no chance before going to the battle, crushed the weak brigade, taught the old enemy a lesson, overwhelmed the strong, and even fought with top masters who were recognized as not at the same level until the last moment.

What else do you want to do?

Returned to the Asian Cup final stage ten years later, the Chinese men's basketball team changed the stereotype of weak and unfamiliarity in the past, as if they had become super elite overnight.

In critical moments, Hu Jinqiu and Wang Junjie are the Asian elite inside team to protect it. Whether they are lame on the outside when they are South Korea or on New Zealand, they can maintain the top level in the inside. They are like a pair of giant siege hammers, fierce and powerful, making all opponents fearful, thus creating the next opportunity for teammates to attack.

Faced with a high-end game, Zhao Rui and Hu Mingxuan took turns to shine. The last game was Zhao Rui's 24 points, and this game was Hu Mingxuan's 26 points. Anyone must guess whether this pair of Yuanyang swords is on the left or on the right. Once the guess is wrong, even the powerful Australia will have to endure the torture of long-term backwardness.

If all these are held, the Chinese men's basketball team may have been disarmed in the past. But this time it's not. Whenever you get entangled by your opponent, there will always be someone standing up.

Liao Sanning in the first quarter, using his signature breakthrough to make the Australian inside chaos. Although he failed to score a sports game in the end, he scored 3 points and 3 assists with free throws and assists.

and then Cheng Shuipeng. This sharpshooter, who was accurate to nearly 50% of the three-pointers in the group stage, remained silent on South Korea and New Zealand for a long time, so that there was a comment among the fans that "he can't play a tough battle". So, is the Asian Cup final hard? In the difficult situation where only Hu Mingxuan and Wang Junjie hit three-pointers in the first half, Cheng Shuipeng hit two consecutive three-pointers in the third quarter, pulling the Chinese team back on the cliffside where the opponent was turned over by the opponent twice in a row.

or even Raymond. When everyone was unable to take Cooks from the opponent in the third quarter, the "water dispenser guard" who ranked about 10 in the team was ordered to face danger, and one offense and one defense directly brought 5 points of net profit return to the team's trust in him. When he made the three-pointer, countless fans shouted happily: "Why can anyone stand up?!"

There are also Zhu Junlong, Yu Jiahao, Gao Shiyan... and snatched desperately again and again, running with all his might, and shouting selflessly again and again - there is always a victory or defeat in the game, but no one will doubt that the young men of the Chinese men's basketball team have already given their all for the victory.

Life is always full of regrets.

How good would it be if Raymond hit the second three-point attempt, how good would it be if there was one more person who could stand up at the critical moment, how good would it be if the 33% three-point shooting percentage could return to the 46% level in the previous game, if Hu Mingxuan could hit the buzzer-beating three-pointer...

There is no if in life, but there is a relief. We lost a game that went all out, but won back the respect we lost in the World Cup and Asian Games over the past few years.

Asian opponents, tremble. The Chinese men's basketball team lost almost the entire starting lineup before this summer, but they can still play to this level. There are not many opportunities left for you in the future.

Men's Basketball Team, work hard. The Chinese men's basketball team still has infinite vitality and combat power. The most important thing is that the fighting spirit of striving and striving to win is more intense than before. Our Yang Hansen is working hard in the NBA; our Yu Jiahao is starting from the beginning in the Spanish League...
