On the 30th, the group stage of this World Cup ended, and all Asian teams failed to reach the round of 16. Therefore, the final result of the 17th to 32nd place qualifying round will directly determine which Asian team can directly qualify for the Paris Olympics - only by becoming the highest ranked Asian team in this tournament can the Chinese men's basketball team obtain a direct qualification.
According to the competition rules of the World Cup, the qualifying round is divided into M, N, O, and P4 groups. The third and fourth places in Group A and the third and fourth places in Group B jointly form Group M. In this group, the Chinese team that ranks fourth in Group B will face the third placed Angola team and the fourth placed Philippines team in Group A.
After the two rounds of competition, the four teams in Group M will be ranked first to fourth in their group based on points, their respective winning and losing relationships, net win points, total score, etc. The other three groups are the same.
After all the qualifying matches are over, the first place of the four groups will be ranked 17-20, the second place will be ranked 21-24, and so on. Ranking is determined by factors such as points, net win points, and total points for teams with the same ranking in different groups.
From the perspective of the situation after the group stage, the main competitors of the Chinese men's basketball team are the Philippines team, which is also in Group M, and the Japan team, which has one winning game and entered the qualifying stage.
Except for the Japanese team, all other Asian teams entered the qualifying round with a record of 0 wins. Therefore, the Japanese team has an advantage in the competition for the "best in Asia". The Philippine team will have a direct conversation with the Chinese team in the qualifying match.
After China's men's basketball team wins today, both Japan and the Philippines will play on this day of the game. The Japanese team will face Venezuela, while the Philippines will face South Sudan.
If the Philippine team also wins today, the direct dialogue between the Chinese men's basketball team and the Philippine team on September 2nd Beijing time will become a real "life to death" competition. The Chinese men's basketball team still needs to continue to strive for victory.
