Men s Basketball World Cup Asian Lottery Division: Japan s first tier, China has become third tier, and qualifying is in a hurry

Recently, the official website of the FIBA ​​announced that the 2027 Men's Basketball World Cup qualifiers in Asia will be released. Our Chinese men's basketball team has become the third tier. This has also attracted heated discussion and attention from fans and the media.

The Chinese men's basketball team was once the overlord of Asia! He has reached the semi-finals in the Olympics and World Championships many times. In all Asian competitions, the Chinese men's basketball team won the championship with mercy. What fans are most proud of is of course the era when they have three mobile Great Walls. Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi, Bater and others have all entered the US professional basketball team again. In that era, although the Chinese men's basketball team could not overturn the Dream Team, it could make the opponent sweat. Unfortunately, after Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi, Yi Jianlian and others retired, the Chinese men's basketball team quickly fell. He ranked eighth in the last Asian Cup and has missed two consecutive Olympic Games. Of course, missing the Olympics is also related to the poor performance of the Chinese men's basketball team in the World Cup.

In the 2023 World Cup, the Chinese men's basketball team lost three consecutive games in the group stage. In the qualifying match, he only defeated the Angola men's basketball team and also lost to the Philippine men's basketball team. The Chinese men's basketball team finally ranked 29th and also announced in advance that it missed the Olympics. The Japanese men's basketball team represented Asia in the Olympics. The Japanese men's basketball team has grown rapidly in recent years. Not only have many people gone abroad, but they have also taken frequent actions in naturalization. Their strength is also a clear improvement. Therefore, in the Asian team division announced by the FIBA, the Japanese men's basketball team and the Australian men's basketball team are in the first place. The second gear is the Lebanese men's basketball team and the Iranian men's basketball team. The Chinese men's basketball team and the New Zealand men's basketball team were divided into the third tier. It is precisely because of this that the situation of the Chinese men's basketball team qualifying is in danger.

The rules for this men's basketball World Cup qualifiers are as follows. The competition is divided into two stages. In the first phase, 16 teams will be divided into 4 groups to compete. The top three in each group advanced. In the second stage, the teams that advanced were divided into two groups again. Teams that had matched each other in the first stage would no longer fight, but the results would be brought into the second stage. In the end, the top three in the two groups and the fourth with the best results will be qualified to participate in the World Cup.

At present, the overall situation of the Chinese men's basketball team is not optimistic! On the one hand, the opponent's strength has improved rapidly, and on the other hand, we are growing too slowly! So far, there are no Chinese men's basketball players who really play in the U.S. professional basketball team. However, our own league, strength and physical confrontation are still insufficient. So we looked very good in training. But in the real world competition, we can't find any feeling. Loss is also being cleaned up.

Men's Basketball World Cup qualifiers will be drawn in groups soon. I hope the Chinese men's basketball team can get the lottery! The World Cup qualifiers will start in November. China will host the qualifying competition. come on!
