[edit] History
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 medallist Greece, 95-64; the team's overall placing from amongst the twenty-four competing sides was fifteenth.
