Yo, hoops fam! 🌍 Last month, the 2025 FIBA 3×3 World Tour rolled into Deqing County, in Zhejiang Province on the Chinese mainland, and it was a straight-up vibe shift for Asia’s sports scene.
As a fresh stop on the map, Deqing was chosen to tap emerging Asian markets hungry for fast-paced, urban sports energy. Think of it as bringing the party 🎉 to the court—perfect for young pros on the move.
Over two days (Oct 11–12), 14 elite squads from China, Serbia, France, Germany and more battled nonstop. The world-number-one Ub team went head-to-head with the Toulouse crew—packed with French Olympic silver-medalists—while homegrown Chongming and Shanghai squads fed local hype.
New to 3×3? It’s like streetball amped up: half-court, one hoop, 12-second shot clocks—nonstop action that mirrors the street courts of Manila, Jakarta and Mumbai. No cap, it’s the perfect fast-break fix for today’s on-the-go crowd. 🏀⚡️
Beyond the buzzer-beaters, this stop signaled Asia’s rising clout in global hoops. Brands, sponsors and local crews are all eyes on this momentum—so we’re likely to see more 3×3 pop up from Colombo to Ho Chi Minh City soon.
Stay tuned and keep shooting your shot—3×3 is just getting started in Asia! 🔥
