The tournament, slated for Dec. 11-13, will also feature Africa's All-Star team, Herzegovina's national side and Anhui Wenyi, the runners-up of China's second-tier league NBL. The four teams will play round-robin matches.
Also on Wednesday, former Chinese international Hu Weidong was presented as the new head coach of Anhui Wenyi. The invitational tournament will be his first test.
