The men s basketball team s quarter-finals in the Asian Cup have just begun to appear, Group C is wiped out, and the Chinese men s basketball team faces new challenges.

On the evening of August 12, the Asian Cup quarterfinals ended two play-offs. The Philippines defeated Saudi Arabia 95-88 after overtime, and the Chinese Taipei defeated Jordan 78-64, both advancing to the quarterfinals. Currently, except for the Chinese team in Group C, Lebanon, South Korea and Iran have all been eliminated. The three teams in Group D, New Zealand, Taipei and Saudi Arabia all entered the knockout round, creating the biggest upset of this event.

The Chinese Taipei team made 14 of 32 three-pointers in the whole game, with a shooting percentage of more than 40%. They kept tearing the Jordanian team's defense through quick transfers and established a 15-point advantage in the second quarter. Although Jordan chased points in the second half, the core player left the field with six fouls in the last quarter and was unable to make the situation come true. The match between the Philippines and Saudi Arabia entered overtime, and the two sides alternated in the last moment, locking in the victory with the first two free throws.

The C of the Chinese team is formed into the only group that has not qualified as a whole. Although the South Korean team advanced to the second place in the group, it lost to Bahrain in the last round. Iran has been out of the group for the third consecutive year, and the team's failure to meet in recent years has become increasingly serious. Currently, there are unexpected three teams in Group D, mainly because the group's top New Zealand team is super strong, and other teams can only compete for two play-off spots.

According to the schedule, the Chinese team will compete with the winners of the South Korean team and Guam for the semi-finals. The South Korean team beat Bahrain with a 20-odd advantage in the playoffs, and its outside shooting ability was significantly improved. Although Guam is a new team in the game, naturalized players have NBA Development League experience and lost to Kazakhstan by only seven points in the last game.

The match statistics show that the number of three-point shots in this Asian Cup hit a record high. The head coach of the Philippines revealed after the game that they have strengthened free throw training through video analysis, and the team averaged four more free throws per game than in the group stage. Although Saudi Arabia lost in this game, it tied the score at the end of the quarter, but the key free throw shooting percentage led to an overtime loss.

The 19-year-old Chinese Taipei team defender made seven three-pointers in a single game, becoming the hero of the team's victory. He has just recently completed a contract renewal with the SBL League club, and his performance may attract the attention of CBA teams. The Philippines will play against Australia or Iraq in the next round, and the head coach said it will develop a defensive strategy for the opponent's inside.

The next opponent of the Chinese team, whether in South Korea or Guam, needs to be alert to the opponent's outside projection and naturalized player impact. In the past five matches with South Korea, the Chinese team won four games, but narrowly won with only three points in the last warm-up match. The coaching staff has asked the entire team to study opponent videos, focusing on limiting the opponent's fast attack. The

The organizing committee of the event officially announced that the quarterfinals will start on August 15, and the specific opponent of the Chinese team will be determined after the playoffs are over. Previously, there was news that some players were tired, but the official did not respond to the relevant questions. The final of the Asian Cup is scheduled to be held on August 19, and all teams who advance will face intensive schedule tests.
