Abstract: Using the methods of expert interview and entropy, this present paper analyzed the state and failure predicament of Chinese Men's Basketball Team at the 2019 World Cup by analyzing the offensive and defensive index data of Chinese Men's Basketball Team and the world's top six teams. The research showed that Chinese Men's Basketball Team's competition strength has declined significantly, and the gap between China and the world's basketball powers is increasingly widening. Chinese Men's Basketball Team lacks the technical and tactical style of "integrity, quickness and flexibility, high intensity, and shooting accuracy". The main predicament that Chinese Men's Basketball Team faces is inadequate offensive ability. In view of the above-mentioned state and predicament, this present paper proposed the following solutions: (1) adjust the mode of "double national team" and determine the future development direction; (2) adjust foreign aid policies and replace foreign aid forces with endogenous resources; (3) resume the original aim of the CBA body test to enrich the body test content; (4) broaden the channels of reserve talent cultivation to build the foundation for the sustainable development of Chinese Men's Basketball Team; (5) pay attention to the coach selection system and team building, and the coaches cultivate themselves from both internal and external aspects.

Key words: Men's Basketball World Cup, Chinese Men's Basketball Team, status quo, failure predicament, solution
