Two consecutive Olympics missed! "This is not the true strength and level of the Chinese men's basketball team"
On September 2nd, in the 17th to 32nd place qualifying round of the 2023 Basketball World Cup, the Chinese men's basketball team lost to the Philippines 75-96, ending their World Cup journey with a record of 1 win and 4 losses, ranking fourth in their group and completely missing out on the 2024 Paris Olympics. Japan has obtained the only direct spot in Asia.
This is the first time that the Chinese men's basketball team has missed the Olympics for two consecutive sessions since the Chinese delegation participated in the Olympics. After the game, Yang Jian, a famous basketball commentator on CCTV, couldn't control his emotions during the front line. He cried and said, "I'm not willing to accept it. I feel wronged for our players. That's all." However, former head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team, Du Feng, who also went to the front line, said, "This is not the true strength and level of our Chinese men's basketball team.".
Only one Asian team can advance to the Olympics, and the prerequisite for the Chinese men's basketball team to qualify is to defeat the Philippines and the Japanese team lose to Cape Verde. But the Japanese team did not lose, and what's even more regrettable is that the Chinese team suffered a big loss, with 1 win and 4 losses against both the Philippines and Angola, with the lowest net win and ranking fourth in the group. They also lost their qualification for the Olympics. The Chinese men's basketball team will readjust its reserve matches for the Hangzhou Asian Games in the future.
Chinese men's basketball defender Zhao Rui said after the game that he saw the gap between himself and the world's strong teams, and if he wants to play in the Olympics in the future, he needs to practice more and work harder. He also stated that the intensity of the CBA league cannot be compared to the World Cup. "This team is very young now, and together we need to be more united, step out of difficulties, enter the next new stage, and then prepare to face new challenges."
