When I return to the national team after a long time, I will do my best to get a good result. Lu Junxi (Seattle University), who joined the national team for the first time in a long time, said, "I am very happy and excited to join the national team again after three years. Because it is a small injury, it should not be delayed in training while being treated. There are a lot of new brothers, and there are players who have played together before, so I'm looking forward to it. ”

In addition, among the subjects of intensive training, Yang Hongxi (the sports unit of the national army) withdrew due to injury. Substitutes will join the national team once they are confirmed. The South Korean men's basketball team will compete in the 2025 FIBA Asian Cup in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, from August 5 to 17.
