Around June 20, the Chinese men’s basketball team will go to Melbourne, Australia, to prepare for the World Cup qualifiers that will start on June 30. Within five days, the Chinese men's basketball team will play four games, two games against the Australian men's basketball team and Chinese Taipei men's basketball team . Four games in five days, the intensity is high and the task is arduous. CCTV5 broadcasts the entire Chinese men's basketball world preliminaries.
html The 1st World Cup qualifiers are World Cup qualifiers, which are competitions for World Cup qualifications. Only those who have obtained a World Cup quota are eligible to obtain a quota for the Paris Olympics, because quotas for the Paris Olympics depend on World Cup rankings. In the 19th Basketball World Cup, because our ranking was too low, the only Olympic spot in Asia was taken away by the Iranian men's basketball team (the Japanese team was the host country and automatically received the spot).
html The Chinese men's basketball team is in Group B in the 1st World Cup preliminaries. The opponents in the same group are Japan, Australia, Chinese Taipei . They played against each other twice, and the top three in the group advanced to the top 12. Although Australia sent players from the second and third teams to participate, their strength is still the only one, and they have basically locked in the first place in the group. Du Feng also said in an interview with the media that the ideal situation for the Chinese men's basketball team is to advance as the second place in the group! In fact, the problem is not big. Last year, the Chinese men's basketball team played 2 games with the Japanese men's basketball team and won both games. Even if we lost to Australia in both games, as long as we can defeat Chinese Taipei team , we can still finish first in the group. The second person qualified and advanced to the top 12! The strength of the Chinese Taipei team is far lower than that of the Chinese men's basketball team, so it is not difficult to win.
Previously, Du Feng led the Chinese men's basketball team to play in the Asian preliminaries and Olympic qualifying games. The Chinese men's basketball team was unable to field its strongest lineup due to injuries. In the end, it could only field the second or even third team. In order to avoid injuries, the Chinese Basketball Association deliberately The CBA regular season schedule has been shortened, leaving sufficient time for the Chinese men's basketball team to prepare for the game. Guo Ailun , Sun Minghui , Zhao Jiwei , Zhao Rui , Zhou Qi and others are currently in good physical condition. Unfortunately, Hu Jinqiu and Zhang Zhenlin have suffered injuries, special training and other reasons. Not selected for the national team. What everyone wants to see most is Guo Ailun's performance. Guo Ailun's performance in the 2019 Basketball World Cup was not good. He did not play in the Olympic qualifying games due to injury. After three years, he played in a top world competition again. I believe Guo Ailun is much more mature than before.
After four games in five days, the second place in the target group advanced. I wish the Chinese men’s basketball team good luck. The most important thing is to stay healthy and look forward to a triumphant return.
