During five game days, 25 men\u2019s and 23 women\u2019s teams competed for the top places and the title of the strongest national team in two categories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Australia\u2019s domination continues<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There were no sensations in the fight for gold medals, and the reigning champions confirmed their status as favourites. The Australian women\u2019s team defeated Japan in the final with a 21-17 score. From the first seconds of the match, the players from Down Under took the initiative thanks to the bright play of&nbsp;<strong>Marena Whittle<\/strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>Alex Wilson<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Near the middle of the game, the Japanese managed to restore parity, but it wasn\u2019t enough. At the decisive moment, Anneli Maley had her say: her accurate shots helped the Australian team win the Asian Cup for the third time in a row and strengthen their status as the best team in the history of the tournament: they already have 5 titles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Australian Men\u2019s National Team gave the fans a thriller as they defeated China 21-19 in the final. It was a spectacular duel between Alex Higgins-Tisha and Hanyu Gyo \u2013 the leaders of both teams scored 11 points each. The intrigue remained until the last seconds of the match, but at the very end the Chinese fouled, and 2 free throws brought the Australians victory. The Australian men\u2019s team became five-time FIBA Asia Cup winners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">China has taken a big step forward<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before the start of the tournament,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/focusgn.com\/asia-pacific\/1x-was-named-the-best-crypto-operator-in-eurasia\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">1xBet<\/a>\u00a0experts called the Chinese men\u2019s and women\u2019s teams serious contenders for prizes. The girls lost to Australia in the semi-finals, but in the match for third place, they defeated the Philippines (21-11) and won bronze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The China men\u2019s team exceeded expectations by finishing in second place and putting up a fight against the Australian national team. The silver medals are the best result for China in the history of the FIBA Asia Cup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A pleasant surprise from Japan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Japan women\u2019s team became one of the main discoveries of the tournament, and for the first time in its history, made it to the FIBA Asia Cup final. The girls from the Land of the Rising Sun managed to beat their more experienced opponents from New Zealand, who had won silver at the previous two tournaments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Japan men\u2019s team also showed a decent result and managed to reach the semi-finals for the first time since 2018. In the bronze final, they lost to New Zealand (18-21). Japan finished in the top 4 in both categories, which is a great success for the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mongolia\u2019s prospects and the Philippines\u2019 breakthrough<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s a surge of interest in<strong>&nbsp;3\u00d73 basketball&nbsp;<\/strong>in Mongolia, so many experts predicted that the men\u2019s and women\u2019s national teams would reach the semi-finals. However, both teams got eliminated in the quarter-finals, reaching only the top 5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Philippines women\u2019s national team participated in the FIBA 3\u00d73 Asia Cup for the 3rd time in its history and managed to make it to the semi-finals for the first time, becoming the main sensation of the tournament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The hosts of the tournament still cannot compete with the best teams in Asia. The Singapore men\u2019s team finished in 7th place, while the women\u2019s team finished in 11th place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Format of the tournament<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The FIBA 3\u00d73 Asia Cup 2025 among men and women was held according to the same formula and consisted of the qualifying draw, preliminary round and knockout stage. The winners of the 4 qualifying groups made it to the preliminary round, where 8 seeded teams were waiting for them. All national teams were divided into&nbsp;<strong>4 groups of 3 teams each<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 2 best teams of each trio qualified for the knockout stage, which started with the quarter-finals, followed by the semi-finals, and then the third-place match and the final.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The FIBA 3\u00d73 Asia Cup was held for the first time with the support of the global betting company 1xBet.
