Recently, the FIBA announced the ranking of the men's basketball team in the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games, with 24 teams divided into six, and the Chinese men's basketball team ranked fifth. The Chinese men's basketball team, which only ranked 24th in the World Cup held at home and lost the qualification for direct Olympic Games, can still get the qualification for next year's Olympic Games?
The International Basketball Federation officially announced that 24 teams were divided into 6 grades in the unsuccessful competition of the 2020 Tokyo Olympic men's basketball team, and the Chinese men's basketball team was in the fifth grade.
The first team includes Serbia, Greece, Lithuania and Russia, the second team includes Czech Republic, Brazil, Italy and Poland, the third team includes Croatia, Turkey, Slovenia and Puerto Rico, the fourth team includes Germany, Dominica, Venezuela and Canada, and the fifth team includes New Zealand, Mexico, China and South Korea, The sixth team includes Angola, Tunisia, Senegal and Uruguay.
On the 27th of this month, the drawing ceremony of the Olympic losing competition will be held in FIBA headquarters in Switzerland. At that time, each team will draw a team to form a group, with a total of four groups. The losing competition will start from June 23 to 28, 2020 to compete for four Olympic tickets. Only the top of the group can be qualified.
At the 2019 men's Basketball World Cup held in China this summer, the Chinese team performed poorly and missed the top 16 in the group match. One win and one loss in qualifying, and finally ranked 24th, losing the opportunity to get tickets to the Tokyo Olympic Games in advance. If we fail to break through the encirclement in the losing competition, the record of Chinese men's basketball team appearing in the Olympic Games for nine consecutive times since its first participation in the Olympic Games in 1984 will be terminated.
