Disappointment or regret, it is a foregone conclusion that the Chinese men's basketball team is not in the top 16 of the world cup. At present, the most realistic question is whether the Chinese team can get tickets to the Tokyo Olympic Games at home?
Seven teams will directly qualify for the Tokyo Olympic Games in this world cup. These seven teams are the highest ranked Asian, African and Oceanian teams, as well as the top two American and European teams.
A total of six Asian teams from China, Iran, Japan, South Korea, the Philippines and Jordan participated in the cup. As the host, Japan has automatically qualified for the Tokyo Olympic Games. At present, six Asian teams, including the Japanese team, are not in the top 16, which makes the Chinese team still have the opportunity to become the first in Asia and go straight to Tokyo.
In the 17-32 qualifying, the last two of the eight groups are divided into four groups for the round robin, and the results of the group competition are brought into the qualifying. Three or four members of group AB are in group M, which means that China (the schedule of Chinese men's basketball qualifying) will compete with South Korea and Nigeria (China has defeated C ô te d'Ivoire in the group stage).
According to relevant rules, the first place of the four groups will rank 17-20, the second place will rank 21-24, the third place will rank 25-28, and the fourth place will rank 29-32. Teams with the same ranking in each group will compare the results of qualifying.
At present, among the Asian teams, only China has won a victory in the group game (Japan and Jordan will face the United States and Germany respectively in the last round of the group game, with little hope of winning), which is the biggest advantage of China. As long as the Chinese men's basketball team wins both wars in qualifying, it will be promoted directly as the first in Asia.
However, China's opponents in qualifying are no worse than those in the group, and it is difficult to win both wars.
South Korea is the old enemy of the Chinese men's basketball team in Asia. Although they suffered three consecutive defeats in the group stage, they have always been a 'difficult' team in the face of the Chinese team. Luo Jianer, the naturalized player of the South Korean team, ranks second among the participating players in terms of score (22.7 points per game) and rebounds (12 points per game), becoming a sharp weapon for the South Korean team.
Nigeria recalled a number of NBA players in this cup. In the battle with South Korea on the evening of the 4th, they won 42 points 108-66, which can be seen in their combat effectiveness.
What is more 'troublesome' is that in qualifying, the Chinese team will not only face the 'internal worries' of the group's strong enemies, but also the' foreign aggression 'covetously watched by the Iranian team.
Although Iran, which was in group n with Tunisia, Angola and the Philippines, suffered three consecutive defeats in the group stage, it took the lead in the first and third quarters against Spain, which ranked second in the world; Against Puerto Rico, which entered the top 16, it lost only 81-83, proving that it is the highest ranked team in the world in Asia.
Angola and the Philippines are the teams that have lost the most points so far in this cup. Compared with the two "point sending boys", Iran is obviously superior and is likely to be ranked second in this group after Tunisia.
At this time, if China is not the top of group M, Iran may rank first in Asia by virtue of qualifying results.
Therefore, if the Chinese team wants to directly obtain the qualification of the Tokyo Olympic Games from this cup, the most 'safe' way is to win two consecutive qualifying games and take the initiative in their own hands.
On the evening of the 6th Beijing time, the Chinese team will face the old rival South Korea, which can not be lost.
