The 9th place in shame! On the second day after the Asian Cup, the Japanese men s basketball team exposed internal strife? The number one star bombarded the Basketball Association

Focus on sports information and pay attention to both inside and outside the stadium.

2025 Men's Basketball Asian Cup has come to an end.

The final championship battle, the Chinese men's basketball team lost to the Australian men's basketball team by 1 point.

Although he missed the championship, the Chinese team is still regarded as one of the biggest winners of this Asian Cup.

Just because of the pre-match strength rankings, the 30th-ranked Chinese men's basketball team cannot even rank in the top 3.

There are winners, there are losers.

If you talk about the biggest loser in this Asian Cup, you are undoubtedly the favorite Japanese men's basketball team to win the championship before the game.

In the final ranking of this Asian Cup, the Japanese men's basketball team ranked only 9th, which is far from the predicted ranking. In terms of world rankings, the Japanese men's basketball team ranks 21st and is the veritable "second brother" of the Asian men's basketball team. Before the game, all parties regarded it as the strongest team to challenge the Australian team.

In addition, before the game, both inside and Japanese media have set their goals at the level of competing for the championship.

But judging from the final results, the result was indeed surprising. Not to mention the semi-finals and finals, I couldn't even enter the quarterfinals in the end. The 9th place ranking is a shame for the Japanese men's basketball team.

Recently, Hachimura, the top star of the Japanese men's basketball team and played in the NBA, publicly bombarded the Japanese Basketball Association.

In this Asian Cup, several major core players of the Japanese team, Kawamura Yuki, Hachimura Rei, etc., did not participate in the competition.

Obviously, even if he did not play, Hachimura Hiroshi also paid attention to the performance of the Japanese men's basketball team.

As early last year, the key to Hachimura's withdrawal from the Japanese men's basketball team was that he was dissatisfied with the practices of the Japanese Basketball Association and coach Hovas' coaching methods and ideas, and had public criticism and bombardment.

This time, Hachimura still did not show weakness and posted a message on his personal social platform to criticize the Japanese Basketball Association:

"To be honest, whether to participate in the Japanese national team is not for personal benefit. If you participate in the national team, it is purely to make Japanese basketball stronger, that's all."

"But whether you can participate in the Olympics and the World Cup are all achievements accumulated by players through hard work. I just pointed out that the way the association operates in the past two or three years is different. How the Japanese people view this point has their own opinions!"

There is no doubt that judging from the results of the Japanese men's basketball team this time, if November is still the original team of the Asian Cup, it will be too difficult to pass the World Cup qualifiers.

Whether it is the Australian men's basketball team or the Chinese men's basketball team, there are many main players absent. If they all come back to participate in the competition, they will continue to crush the Japanese team.

Therefore, whether you can participate in the World Cup, Hachimura Lek and Kawamura Yuki must come back to provide assistance.

Now, the number one star Hachimura's dissatisfaction with the Japanese Basketball Association and the head coach, which means that there are some conflicts in the team before the World Cup.

As for whether the degree of internal strife has reached an inextricable level, it takes time to observe.

Of course, the score of the 9th place in the Asian Cup in the Japanese men's basketball team may directly lead to the dismissal of head coach Hovas. If Hachimura's dissatisfaction is added, it is almost inevitable to leave.

But in addition to being dissatisfied with the head coach, Hachimura also has a lot of complaints about the Basketball Association's approach. For the sake of the World Cup, whether the Japanese men's basketball team "wronged" itself and changed its attitude and policies has achieved the goal of letting them come back to assist the team. Let's wait and see.

What do you think about the achievements of the Japanese men's basketball team this time?
