It can be said that this game is likely to determine whether the two teams can enter the top 8.
In the second round of the group stage, the Chinese men's basketball team defeated Bahrain 80-79, while Chinese Taipei lost to the South Korean team. However, the Chinese men's basketball team and Chinese Taipei both locked in the rematch qualifications in advance, so in the end The head-to-head competition in one round is nothing more than deciding which of the two teams will get the second place. If nothing goes wrong in the Group A match, Australia will most likely be first, Jordan will be second, and Indonesia will be third. , Saudi is out.
According to the qualifying rules, the first place in each group will directly enter the top 8. The 2nd and 3rd place will need to compete with the adjacent groups in cross-players to compete for the other four top 8 places. B2, where the Chinese team is located, will compete with a3. , b3 has to compete with a2.

For the Chinese men's basketball team, the first two rounds have proven that winning is now more difficult than reaching the sky. They only narrowly defeated the Bahrain team by 1 point. This state and strength have simply fallen to the bottom, and Chinese Taipei The players participating in the Asian Cup this time are not a team at all compared to the lineup that lost to the Chinese men's basketball team in the World Cup preliminaries. This time, Chinese Taipei will not surrender easily when facing the Chinese men's basketball team.
With the current state of the Chinese men's basketball team, there is really little hope of defeating the all-main force Chinese Taipei! The good news is that Zhao Rui and Sun Minghui will not be suspended, but with these two people, can they win Chinese Taipei? This is a bit of a dream! Perhaps the only expectation is that Zhou Qi will appear. As long as Zhou Qi comes to the rescue, the probability of the Chinese men's basketball team winning will increase.
Zhou Qi had been quarantined in Australia after being diagnosed. After losing to the South Korean men's basketball team, Zhou Qi immediately flew to Jakarta . He did not appear in the game against Bahrain. Now he has arrived in Jakarta to rest for 48 hours. He also trained with the team. Facing the match in Chinese Taipei, Zhou Qi is very hopeful to play and fight for the honor of the Chinese men's basketball team.
Whether Zhou Qi can play, and whether the Chinese men's basketball team can compete in Taipei, China, the answers to all questions will be revealed at 21 o'clock tonight. According to statistics, in the official competition held by FIBA , the Chinese men's basketball team and China Taipei team has played against each other 13 times, with a total record of 12 wins and 1 loss. The advantage is quite obvious. I hope that after tonight's game, it will be 13 wins.
