Prospects for the final of the Chinese men s basketball team: Public opinion generally does not like winning the championship, less than 20% believe that they will win the 17th championship

On August 17, since the Australian Men's Basketball Team joined the Asian Cup in 2017, it is extremely difficult for the rest of the teams to win the Asian Cup again. The Australian men's basketball team has won 17 consecutive victories in the Asian Cup. There are no active NBA players in this tournament to play in the second team. They have also won 145 points in the first five games. In the finals, they are aiming for three consecutive championships. As for the Australian men's basketball team, if they can form the strongest theoretical lineup, especially if Irving can join and play, joining Gidey, Dyson Daniels and Ben Simmons, they are expected to compete for medals in the World Cup or Olympics, and even challenge the American men's basketball team.

Australian men's basketball dominance: 145 points in five Asian Cups

Australia 97-61 South Korea

Australia 93-80 Lebanon

Australia 110-82 Qatar

Australia 84-60 Philippines

Australia 92-48 Iran

The Australian men's basketball team has never sent a team to participate in the Asian Cup, but the second team has still achieved two consecutive championships in the past two sessions. In the first five games of this Asian Cup, the Australian men's basketball team won five consecutive victories to advance to the finals. Except for the second game that won the Lebanese men's basketball team for 13 points, the other four games won at least 20 points, and the total 5 games has won 145 points.

The Australian men's basketball team has achieved 17 wins and 0 losses in the history of the Asian Cup, and they have almost not encountered much resistance. The most severe game in the history of the Australian Men's Basketball Team was the 2022 Asian Cup final. At that time, the Australian Men's Basketball Team narrowly defeated the Lebanese Men's Basketball Team led by Alaki 75-73, and was led by 14 points in the first three quarters 57-43, and was chased to only lead by 1 point in the last 2 minutes, and finally won only 2 points to complete the defending title.

Australian men's basketball team 12-player lineup: No active NBA players + only 2 people participated in last year's Olympics

4 old NBA players: McVeigh (Rockets), Cooks (Wilms), Magney (Pelicans), Jack White (Nuggets, Grizzlies)

The rest of the players: Daniels, Foxwell, Galloway, Ben Henschel, Hickey, Bannan, Renner Smith, Withers

The 12-player lineup of the Australian men's basketball team in this Asian Cup, none of them are active NBA players, but 4 people have NBA experience, and most of the players are players from the Australian NBL League. Before the Asian Cup, McDonald suffered a serious injury in the ACL in a warm-up match and was reimbursed for the season, and then replaced by the 2024 NBA undrafted Class Nan. He once played in the NBA Summer League for the Clippers.

The Australian men's basketball team only has two players participating in the Paris Olympics last year, namely McVay and McNei, so they sent out an absolute second team to participate in this Asian Cup.

The strongest lineup of the Australian men's basketball team: Irving is expected to join + Gidey Bensi and others lead

As for the Australian men's basketball team if all the main lineups go to the Asian Cup, their lineup will be extremely luxurious. After all, they still have too many players in the NBA, such as:

Irving (Mavericks, dual nationality between the United States and Australia)

Gidey (Bulls)

Dyson Daniels (Hawks, last season's steal king)

Ben Simmons (not signed yet, it is reported that he is expected to join the Celtics)

Ingles (Timberwolves)

Seble (Seble)

Langdale (Grizzlies) )

Josh Green (Hornets)

Exham (Mavericks)

Rees (Trail Blazers, Yang Hansen teammate)

Mills (37-year-old veteran, not signed yet)

Alex Tuxi (Warriors' second round pick this year)

Australian men's basketball team has always been a strong team in the world basketball world. They are currently ranked 7th in the world. They lost 90-95 to Jokic in the quarterfinals of eight in the 2024 Paris Olympics and ended in the quarterfinals of eight. The 2020 Tokyo Olympics was a bronze medal to create the best Olympic record in the team's history, won fourth place in the 2016 Rio Olympics, and also won fourth place in the 2019 Men's Basketball World Cup. When the Australian men's basketball team participated in the Paris Olympics in 2024, they were led by Gidey, Mills, Dyson Daniels and other eight NBA active players at the time.

As for the Australian men's basketball team, if they can form the strongest lineup in theory, it will undoubtedly be an unprecedentedly terrifying lineup, and the core lineup will be Irving, Gidey, Dyson Daniels, Ben Simmons and Ingles.

Irving won the World Cup and Olympic gold medal for the US men's basketball team, but he also has dual nationalities in the United States and Australia. Irving previously expressed his willingness to represent the Australian men's basketball team in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, so once Irving joins, it will be a big wing. Gidey and Dyson Daniels are still growing and improving. Ben Simmons has never represented the Australian men's basketball team in the World Cup and Olympics, so how good his performance is unknown, but in theory, he can also gather a lineup of 12 active NBA players, and undoubtedly have the ability to compete for medals in the World Championships.
