That’s because they care too much about height. After the Japanese win yesterday, a lot of people on Chinese social media were talking about how all those shorter Japanese players would never have been picked for even a middle school team, and that China needs to rethink their selection criteria
球迷：因为中国篮球选材太在乎身高了！前天日本赢球之后，中国球迷就在社交媒体就纷纷吐槽，像日本队那种小个子球员要是放在中国，他们甚至连中学校队都进不去…他们觉得中国得重新考虑考虑篮球的选材标准了…

Height is not the problem, Zhou Qi is too skinny to play center but he has to because he is tall.
中国球迷：身高并不是症结所在~而是他们把周琦放在了中锋位置上，但是他又太瘦了！同时因为身高臂长，周琦又不得不去打中锋…

That's my point, height is not a problem because Chinese basketball put a massive emphasis on height, thus forsaking skilled but shorter players like those on the Japanese team.
球迷：没错，我就是这个意思，身高并不是问题的根本！而是中国选材太注重身高了，因而放弃了那些像日本队那样的技术好但个子不高的球员…

South Sudan was on fire from 3.
老鹰球迷：南苏丹三分球投疯了…
[–]KnicksRobbobertoBuii 6 points 16 hours ago
China also shot well (8/20 - 40%) but South Sudan had 7 more makes from 3 (15/30) which ended up being the reason they pulled away in the 2nd Half
尼克斯球迷：中国队三分投得也不错，20投8中，但是南苏丹多投中了7记三分（30投15中），这就是他们能在下半场带走比赛的原因~

Imagine how bad they'd be if Slo Mo didn't suit up for China
森林狼球迷：想想看，要是人类蠕动精华李凯尔没加入中国队的话，他们得弱成啥样啊…

Kyle was fucking atrocious in their first game though
尼克斯球迷：楼上森林狼球迷先别急着夸，之前的第一场比赛，李凯尔打得可他妈烂了我跟你说…
注：第一场对阵塞尔维亚的小组赛，李凯尔发挥不佳，全场得到0分4篮板4助攻1抢断。

It's crazy to me that this is still the case despite basketball being so huge in China.
球迷：尽管篮球运动现在在中国的影响力那么大，他们却还是这么弱，太让人想不明白了…

With a lot of resources as well. Money isn't an issue. It's grassroots, mentality, and coaching.
勇士球迷：而且他们资源充沛，钱不是问题…他们强不起来，主要还是培养体系、心态以及训练方式的问题…

And Japan win against Nba all star led finland, its just skill issue.
球迷：日本都能赢下NBA全明星带队的芬兰队，这说明不是基因问题，就是技术问题…
注：8月27日，日本队98-88战胜由马尔卡宁领衔的芬兰队。

China in general is much better at developing athletes for individual sports rather than team sports - they’re not very good relative to their investment in soccer nor baseball too.
But they’re fine at tennis, ping pong, badminton, swimming, weight lifting etc. They’ve even got a runner every now and then. So seems at the grassroots level team coaching might be an issue? Just theorizing.
Oddly enough, volleyball seems to be an exception to this. They're ranked high in both mens and womens teams there and even medaled for womens.
尼克斯球迷：总体来说，相对于培养个体项目运动员，中国不太善于培养团体项目运动员，他们在投资足球或者棒球运动方面也不是很擅长…但是中国在网球、乒乓球、羽毛球、游泳、举重等方面做得不错，还时不时会冒出一个跑步特别厉害的运动员~所以从培养体系层面看，训练方式可能是（中国篮球较弱的）问题所在？我只是推测推测哈~~不过奇怪的是，中国排球貌似是个例外，中国男排和女排在世界排名都挺高的，女排甚至还拿过奖牌呢！

Spot on, and you might notice that China basically sucks at all team sports that involve physical contacts. Kids in China play basketball for fun only, and schools don't really organize any tournaments. Selection of athletic prospects is mostly originated from less-developed areas where some families might send their kids off to the provincial training camps / "sports school", and how well you might progress down the road is mainly based on your physique (i.e. you will highly unlikely to become a PG in any provincial teams if you are only 5'5). So deep down in the root, basketball is only a job to them, and players in the CBA can earn 5x more in CBA than in other Asian leagues. With such a comfortable life, you won't really see Chinese players play with passion.
Volleyball is an exception, but only women's volleyball. It's odd that women's team seem to be achieving more success under the same regime.
猛龙球迷：楼上的兄弟你说到点子上了~~大家可能也注意到了，基本上所有需要身体对抗的团队运动中国都打得很烂…中国的孩子打篮球都是玩儿玩儿而已，学校之间也不太会举办锦标赛之类的…未来运动员的选材大部分是来自欠发达地区，那里的家长们把自己的孩子送到省训练队或者体育学校去训练，而他们的运动员之路如何走也主要取决于他们的体型（比如：如果你的身高只有165cm，那你几乎不可能在任何一个省篮球队打上控卫）。所以，归根结底，打篮球对中国运动员来说就是一份工作，而CBA的薪水又是其他亚洲篮球联赛薪水的5倍之多。在如此舒适没有压力的环境之下，很少有中国球员带着激情打球。排球确实是个例外，但仅限于女排~奇怪的是，虽然身处相同的体制之下，女队似乎比男队能取得更多的成功…
