Twenty-four Chinese Taipei Basketball players began training to prepare for a qualifying game scheduled to take place in Japan starting on Feb. 17. FIBA has not announced any postponements, even though Japan's COVID-19 situation is worsening.
Temperatures were taken and real names were registered as training camp for the third qualifying round of the FIBA Asia Cup kicked off. Twenty-four players from the Super Basketball League and P.League+ were invited to the training camp.
This was the first time that Hsinchu JKO Lioneers guard Oscar Kao had been called up for the national team. He said he was happy when he heard the news. Japan is scheduled to host the round, which starts on Feb. 17. However, the COVID-19 situation there is worsening and Kao's family members are worried and urging him not to go.

You only have one life, so I think I have to be very, very cautious. This is not a trivial matter.
Taiwan Beer guard Chiang Yu-an said there is a risk in traveling abroad, and he hopes the Chinese Taipei Basketball Association can coordinate with FIBA to postpone the qualifying tournament if possible.
Japan recently set a new record for single-day infections, so of course we're all really worried and feeling a little scared.
The CTBA said Japan and FIBA are discussing the possibility of postponement or a host change. If Chinese Taipei declines to participate, it will incur a NT$9 million fine and affect its FIBA membership, as well as qualifications for future events. It hasn't made a decision yet.
Let's say the tournament goes ahead but the epidemic situation remains critical. We will maintain the option of not participating.
Going is one thing, and the return may become a weak link in disease prevention. This is something that we can't take responsibility for.
The option of not participating remains on the table. The CTBA says the training camp will proceed as scheduled, and the final squad of 16 players will be named on Jan. 30.
量體溫、實名登記，亞洲盃籃球賽第三階段資格賽，來自SBL與PLG兩大聯盟24位培訓選手，一大早完成報到展開訓練。
新竹攻城獅後衛高國豪，生涯首度入選國家隊一軍培訓隊，他說，知道入選時很開心，可是日本疫情加劇，家人很擔心，希望能不去就不去。
PLG新竹攻城獅後衛 高國豪表示：「命真的只有一條，我覺得，真的要很慎重、很慎重，這不是開玩笑。」
不是只有高國豪和家人擔憂，SBL台啤當家後衛蔣淯安認為，出國風險一定存在，希望籃協能盡量和亞洲籃總協調，能延就延。
SBL台啤後衛 蔣淯安表示：「(日本)創下單日，好像最高確診的人數。所以相對，對我們來說，就是會顯得非常焦慮，因為會覺得有點害怕。」
籃協表示，其實日本正和亞洲籃總溝通，是否延期或換地點，但若按計畫舉行，台灣不參加，將面臨台幣九百多萬罰款，還影響會籍，甚至未來亞運資格，目前還是要審慎評估。
中華男籃隊執行教練 鄭志龍表示：「假設比賽還是要進行，但是整個這個疫情的情況，還是非常嚴重，我們也保留了不去的一個決定。」
PLG執行長 陳建州表示：「去是一件事，回來可能會，有可能會成為台灣防疫的破口，這個是我們擔待不起的。」
保留不參賽的決定，但離最終決定還有時間，籃協表示，男籃隊正常安排訓練，預計一月30日選出最後16人名單。
