, netizens have already learned about the format of the 2019 Men's Basketball World Cup qualifiers and the main game, and have a certain understanding of this grand event that will be held in China. However, many netizens have new questions after reading it, that is, only 7 seats for the Tokyo Olympics will be determined in the 19th World Cup. How will the other 4 seats be generated? After all, there are 12 teams participating in the Olympics.

In this episode, you will learn the answer to this question, and at the same time you will be exposed to another event: the Olympic qualifying competition.

As in previous years, 12 teams will participate in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics . In addition to the 7 participating seats determined by the World Cup, the other 4 seats will be generated through the Olympic qualifying tournament. After the 2019 World Cup, 25 participating teams have not qualified for the Olympics, and the top 16 will receive Olympic qualifying spots. In addition, FIBA ​​will also inspect the four major regions (Asia-Pacific, European, African and American) and select two teams from each region to participate in this event. By June 2020, the 24 participating teams will be divided into 4 groups of 6 teams each to compete within the group. The winner of each group will receive a ticket to the Olympic Games .

Since there is still more than a year before the event starts, FIBA ​​has not yet said how the Olympic qualifying tournament will be grouped, nor has it announced the format of the qualifying tournament. However, we can refer to the situation in the Rio Olympic qualifying tournament, when 18 teams were divided into three divisions to compete for three Olympic places. Each division has two groups, A and B, with three teams in each group. In the group stage, each team plays against the two teams in the same group once. A win is worth two points, and a loss is worth two points. One point; after two rounds, the top two teams in the group advance to the semifinals; the two teams that win the semifinals compete for the division championship. In that qualifying competition, Serbia, France and Croatia finally stood out and took the last train to the Rio Olympics.

Judging from the previous situation, it is more difficult to get Olympic tickets through the Olympic qualifying tournament than through the World Cup, because when playing in the Olympic qualifying tournament, teams from all continents have to compete together. It can be seen that the champions of each division in the last Olympic qualifying competition were European teams, and no teams from Asia-Pacific, America and Africa broke through.

Finally, the editor would like to sort out the Olympic situation of the Chinese men's basketball team. If the Chinese men's basketball team can become the highest-ranked Asian team in the 2019 World Cup (excluding Australia and New Zealand and other Oceania teams), it will directly get tickets to the Tokyo Olympics; if not, it will have to pass a A good ranking or invitation to participate in the Olympic qualifying tournament.
