[Summary] => Defending champion China is clearly the team to beat in the basketball competitions of the 14th Asian Games in Busan, South Korea, on Sept. 24-Oct. 14. Coach Wang Fei is expected to bring back 10 players from the squad that took the gold in Bangkok four years ago plus 7-6 Yao Ming and newcomer Zhang Cheng in a bid to stay undefeated in the quadrennial event since 1986.

Wang Fei isn’t taking any chances. The Asiad gold means a lot to preserving China’s pride – it symbolizes superiority in the sport.
