China ends the European training World Championship preview men’s basketball and will meet another test
China News Agency, Beijing, August 22, FIFA World Cup qualification will burn another beacon fire. China ended its European training men’s basketball and set off on the 21st local time to Kazakhstan, the competition place in the fourth window.
According to the rules, the men’s basketball World Cup qualifier in 2023 will be divided into two stages and six window periods, of which each stage has three window periods. In the first stage, the top three of the four groups in the Asian Region (Asia/Oceania) were promoted to the second stage. Then 12 teams are divided into two groups, and the top three teams will be qualified for the 2023 men’s basketball World Cup.
In the first stage of the game, China won two Japanese teams and Chinese Taipei team respectively in men’s basketball and two Australian teams, with a total score of 4 wins and two losses. In the second stage, China men’s basketball was in Group F with Australia, Japan, Kazakhstan, Iran and Balin. Since the warring parties in the first stage no longer played, the results were brought into the second round. Therefore, the opponents of China men’s basketball in the second stage will be Kazakhstan, Iran and Balin.
As an old rival of China men’s basketball, Iran won the Asian Championship three times in 2007, 2019 and 2013. At the 2014 South Korea Incheon Asian Games, China lost to Iran’s top four in men’s basketball.
In the first stage, the Kazakhstan team killed Iran and became the biggest dark horse. Kazakhstan ranked first in the men’s basketball Asian region combat force list released by the International Basketball Federation in mid-June, and China ranked fourth in Fifa World Cup qualification. In the third window event, the Balin team beat the Kazakhstan team again, showing good strength. In the Asian Cup group match in the middle of July, China won the Balin team by only one point (80:79) men’s basketball.
Because Australia, currently ranked third in the world, is hard to shake at the top of Group F, therefore, if the Chinese team wants to advance to the first round of the World Cup, every event in the second stage is crucial.
After the end of the third window event in FIFA World Cup qualification, more than men’s basketball people in China were positive for nucleic acid, resulting in a serious misalignment in the subsequent Asian Cup. Finally, they stopped in the top eight and created the worst record for the first-line team to participate in the Asian Cup. Now most of the players including Zhou Qi and Guo Allen have recovered, but the status is still unknown.
In preparation for the fourth window of FIFA World Cup qualification, China men’s basketball went to Europe to practice after the end of the Asian Cup. It is reported that China played several teaching matches in Spain men’s basketball, played three warm-up matches in France, one win and one loss, and one was interrupted due to venue problems. Although there was no more information about the specific situation of China’s men’s basketball European training, a bad news made many fans sweat-Zhao Jiwei, the main defender, injured his nose in the warm-up match in France, it is doubtful whether you can fight in a few days.
According to the schedule, China’s two matches in the fourth window of men’s basketball FIFA World Cup qualification will be held on the evening of 25th and 29th Beijing time respectively, with the opponents of Kazakhstan and Balin respectively. (Finished)
