Wang Junjie Emerges as China’s Next Big Star on the Court

At just 20 years old and still a student-athlete at the University of San Francisco, Wang Junjie is already making waves on the international stage. In the FIBA Asia Cup 2025, he helped propel China to its first final appearance in a decade, delivering a breakout performance against Korea — 21 points and 7 rebounds on efficient 9-of-14 shooting. Wang isn’t just pumping numbers — he’s absorbing wisdom from China’s veterans, executing the coach’s vision, and playing with a composure beyond his years. As a bright spot on Team China, he represents both the present and future of their program. This kid has NBA-level upside. His growth and composure already suggest he could be the next to carry China’s flag into the league. With his size, athleticism, and passion on both ends of the floor, he already looks like an NBA-caliber wing in the making. #WangJunjie #ChinaBasketball #FIBA #AsiaCup #TeamChina #USF #FutureNBA #RisingStar #NBADraft #NCAA #Sports

China Falls Short by One — But Their Heart Won’t Be Forgotten

China pushed Australia to the brink in the FIBA Asia Cup Final, ultimately falling just short in a 90–89 loss—no shame for this young squad. In the second quarter, China built a 15-point lead, showing incredible energy and confidence. Hu Mingxuan finished with 26 points (including five triples) and Hu Jinqiu added a 20-point, 10-rebound double-double. Even when Australia fought back, China refused to back down and kept it within one possession until the final buzzer. This was more than just a game—it was a declaration of identity. China’s players, many new to the stage, displayed grit, poise, and unity that revitalizes belief in their future on the continental stage. It’s a tough loss, but this team showed the kind of endurance and spirit that can build a legacy. Respect to China for that level of fight. #Basketball #FIBA #AsiaCup #TeamChina #NBAFans #TeamAustralia #Sports
