Let’s pay attention to the latest news about Chinese men’s basketball team . Around the 20th of this month, the Chinese men’s basketball team will go to Melbourne, Australia to participate in the third window of the World Cup preliminaries. The game will officially start on the 30th. The Chinese men's basketball team will play two games each against Australia and Chinese Taipei within five days. Four games in five days will be a huge test for the physical fitness of the Chinese men's basketball boys. By the way, CCTV channel will broadcast the entire game live, fans are in luck.
The importance of this world preliminaries is self-evident to the Chinese men's basketball team. Only by performing well in the world preliminaries and entering the World Cup can they have the opportunity to participate in the 2024 Paris Olympics. Old fans should all know that the Chinese men’s basketball team had never missed the Olympics before 2015. A big reason was that according to the rules at the time, if they won the championship in the Asian Championships (now renamed Asian Cup ), they would win Direct qualification to the Olympics. As the dominant player in Asia, the Chinese men's basketball team has almost never let the Asian champions fall by the wayside, so it has never missed an Olympic game.
However, after 2015, FIBA was restructured. The Asian Cup champion no longer has the opportunity to go directly to the Olympics. Instead, more emphasis is placed on the results of the World Cup. He must reach the World Cup finals and obtain the best performance ranking in his continent before he can win. Qualification for the Olympic Games. Take this World Cup as an example. The Chinese men's basketball team must reach the World Cup finals and achieve the best results in Asia in order to qualify for the 2024 Paris Olympics. In this World Cup preliminaries, the Chinese team is in the same group with Japan, Australia and Chinese Taipei. In the two games that have ended, the Chinese men's basketball team has defeated Japan twice, and will play two games each with Australia and Chinese Taipei next. After the group stage, the top three teams advance to the top 12. Therefore, as long as the Chinese team defeats Chinese Taipei in the next game, it doesn't matter even if it loses to Australia. It’s not like the Chinese men’s basketball team can’t even win against Chinese Taipei. If that’s the case, then there’s no need to participate in the World Cup and Olympic Games.
The World Cup quota allocated by FIBA to the Asia-Pacific region (Asia + Australia + New Zealand ) is 7. Japan, Indonesia and the Philippines are all hosts. Japan and the Philippines directly received 2 main game quotas. Indonesia's strength is poor and it needs to reach the top eight in the world preliminaries to obtain a spot in the World Cup main draw. In this way, there are only 3 to 4 opportunities left for the Chinese team. Considering the level of the Chinese men's basketball team in Asia, advancing to the semi-finals is not a big problem, so the Chinese men's basketball team has basically determined a quota for the World Cup.
Next, the Chinese men's basketball team only needs to achieve the best performance ranking in Asia in the World Cup, that is, the first in Asia, and it can directly advance to the 2024 Paris Olympics. This sounds simple, but considering the current level of the Chinese men's basketball team, they dare not claim to be the king in Asia, let alone dominate the World Cup. Therefore, I am still pessimistic about the Chinese men's basketball team advancing to the 2024 Paris Olympics. Of course, no one does not want to see the Chinese team on the Olympic stage. Missing the Tokyo Olympics is enough to make people angry. If they miss the Paris Olympics continuously, the Chinese men's basketball team will completely fall into the bottom.
