The Chinese National Men's Basketball Team was founded in 1917 and joined the International Basketball Federation in 1936. It was withdrawn for political reasons in 1958 and resumed membership in the name of the People's Republic of China in 1974.

In 1975, it was the eighth in the Asian Championships and was held in Bangkok, Thailand . The Chinese men's basketball team was first qualified to participate in the Asian Championships. Under the leadership of coach Qian Chenghai , the Chinese team won nine games and won the championship for the first time. In the next four Asian Championships, the Chinese team completed the defending mission and achieved the first five-time champion in the history of the Asian Championships.

In the ninth Asian Championships in 1977, there were 14 teams participating in the competition. The Chinese men's basketball team was divided into Group A. The opponents in the same group were Iraq, Thailand, Singapore and Bahrain. The Chinese men's basketball team played 4 games and 4 wins. The total score reached 239 points, averaging 59.75 points. 239 points is also the biggest net win score of the Chinese men's basketball team in the previous Asian Championship group stage.

In the 10th Asian Championships in 1979, when the Chinese team played against the host Japan in the finals, the referee obviously favored the other side. Eight Chinese players including Mu Tiezhu were sent off, and only four players were playing.Teammate Li Yulin also kept the Japanese newspaper at the time. The newspaper said that the Chinese team coach Qian Chenghai and Ma Qingsheng even had to abandon the field to protest. However, the Chinese team eventually defeated the Japanese team with a 70-68 advantage. The Chinese team won the South Korean team and won the ticket for the Moscow Olympics .

The 1985 Asian Championships kicked off in Kuala Lumpur , Malaysia . The first Chinese team in the group stage stunned Indonesia by 107 points, which created the biggest difference in the Chinese team's international competition.

Although the first game only won 2 points in Iraq, the Chinese team went all the way and finally played against the old Korean team in the final. The Chinese team took the lead with a 12-2 start and led by 42:36 in the first half. In the second half, the situation changed suddenly. The South Korean team scored a three-pointer after equalizing the score. At the time of crisis, Gong Luming, who was appointed by the coach Qian Chenghai in the second half, became the savior of the Chinese team. When he had 40 seconds left in the second half, he scored a three-pointer to equalize the score.After the referee was obviously biased towards South Korea, the South Korean team was still attacked after the final slamming, but Li Zhongxi was still not in the final shot. Both sides entered the overtime.

However, Wang Fei scored 31 points in the field and helped the Chinese team win the championship with a 102-72 victory over South Korea. 30 points was also the biggest difference between China and South Korea. In addition, he also defended Li Zhongxi. Let it only get 9 points.Since then, every time the South Korean team has a Chinese team, it seems that there is a psychological shadow. It can be said that Wang Fei’s war has caused the South Korean team to suffer from “phobia”. After the game, South Korea’s first Asian defender Xu Zai also publicly stated that “Wang Fei’s 31 points made the game lose its suspense. It’s not so much that the Chinese team defeated us.

In the second half, the South Korean team, known for its willpower and tenacity, began to exert their strength. The difference was once only 4 points, and the aggressiveness of the "Tai Chi Tiger" came up completely. Then Hu Weidong threw in three three-pointers! To know that the Korean team had scored five three-pointers, and when the few balls entered, their hearts were beaten.
