in the semi-finals of the 2024 fiba ​​u18 asia cup, the chinese u18 men's basketball team lost to new zealand 71-86 and missed the final. the last time the chinese u18 men's basketball team entered the u18 asia cup final was 10 years ago.

in 2014, the chinese u18 men's basketball team won the championship with nine wins.

in the final, the chinese team defeated the iranian team 66-48. zhou qi scored a team-high 16 points. zou yuchen and sun minghui also performed well.

in this asian cup, the chinese u18 men's basketball team sent a lineup led by zou yuchen, sun minghui, zhao rui and others. zhou qi had been selected for the national team training at that time and also represented the national olympic team in the asian cup for the adult team. therefore, he had a very busy summer. therefore, zhou qi joined the team shortly before the start of the u18 asian cup.

in order to protect zhou qi, head coach fan bin of the national youth team will significantly reduce zhou qi's playing time in the group stage and when facing some mediocre opponents. only when the team is in trouble or playing a tough game will zhou qi get more playing time.

on the other hand, zhou qi's ability at that time was indeed far superior to other players of the same class, and this u18 asian cup was indeed a bit of a waste of talent for him. but in order to ensure the championship, zhou qi was selected for the chinese u18 men's basketball team and eventually won the mvp.

since then, whether it was in 2016 (with fan ziming and hu mingxuan), 2018 (led by wang quanze, guo haowen and xu jie, 3rd place), 2022 (led by yang hansen, 3rd place) or this time, the chinese u18 men's basketball team failed to reach the finals. in 2016, the chinese u18 men's basketball team only won 5th place.

in 2010, 2012 and 2014, the chinese u18 men's basketball team won the u18 asian cup.
