    The China national basketball team is the basketball team representing the People's Republic of China in international competitions. The team is generally recognized as the strongest team in Asia, and has won more FIBA Asia Championships than any other nation.
    中国国家篮球队代表中国参加国际大赛。一直被认为是亚洲最强队伍。获得FIBA赛事的亚洲冠军比任何国家都多。

History 历史
    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 Stankovic 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 victories (against Senegal and Slovenia) in five group play matches before falling in the round of sixteen to eventual silver medalist Greece, 95-64; the team's overall placing from amongst the twenty-four competing sides was fifteenth.

参考译文：
    中国是亚洲传统篮球强国，从1975年到2005年获得了FIBA亚锦赛16次里的14次冠军。
    然而，中国队在2007年亚锦赛中失利。这是由于中国做为2008奥运会的主办国自动出线。因此中国派出了二线队去参加2007年亚锦赛，与此同时，中国一线队参加了与亚锦赛同时间开始的2007年斯坦科维奇杯的比赛，获得了第十名。比赛中，中国两次输给了菲律宾国家队，菲律宾国家队是和约旦队和伊朗队一起组成的，最终获得了冠军。
    中国队跟世界一流的非亚洲强队交手。然而，最近几年，中国队已经显示出能与顶级欧洲强队对抗的实力。在2004年雅典奥运会上，在教练哈里斯的带领下，以67-66的比分战胜了世界冠军塞尔维亚，晋级8强。
    在06年的世锦赛上，中国队在教练尤纳斯的带领下，从D组中脱颖而出，闯入了第二阶段比赛，获得了5场比赛中的两场胜利（对塞内加尔和斯洛文尼亚），在第16轮比赛中以64-95的比分输给了最终的亚军希腊。中国队最终在24个参赛队中排名第15位。
