In the 2004 Athens Olympic Games and the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, the Chinese men's basketball team broke through the top eight, at that time, it was the three centers as the banner.
The baton of the big one and A-League
In 2011, Yao Ming said goodbye to the NBA and the Chinese men's basketball team due to injuries, and the Chinese men's basketball team entered the "era of Da Zhi and Yi Jianlian".
