On February 13, Beijing time, after the second round of the women's basketball world preliminary round group stage, the promotion situation of each group has become very clear. Although there is still a round of matches not played, there are already 7 teams that have locked up The World Cup seats in advance, and the first team that did not qualify for the World Cup has been born. As the third-place winner of the Copa America, Brazil became the first team to be eliminated from the World Preliminary Tournament.
Of the three divisions currently in the division, the United States has won 2 and lost 0 of the four teams in the Washington division and has advanced to the qualifiers. The other three teams, Belgium, Puerto Rico and Russia, Belgium won 1 and lost 1, although it did not lock in the qualification, but also had a better chance, and the other seat will be decided between Puerto Rico and Russia.
Due to only three teams playing in the Osaka Division of Japan, Canada, Japan and Bosnia and Herzegovina, Canada has achieved a record of 1 win and 1 loss, and has locked up a World Cup place in advance. Due to the absence of Belarus, Japan and Bosnia and Herzegovina have not yet locked up a World Cup seat.
There are 2 groups and 8 teams in the Belgrade division, and the current situation in Group B where the Chinese team is located is very obvious, the Chinese team and the French team advanced ahead of schedule, and they will compete for the top place in the group in the finale. Nigeria and Mali, on the other hand, will compete for the last qualifying spot in the final group stage.
All that remains is Group A, in which Serbia won 2 and lost 0 of the four teams to lock up the first place in the group. Australia and South Korea also won 1 and lost 1, while Brazil won 0 and lost 2. Although there is still one game left, Brazil is already out of the game early. Even if they can beat Serbia in the final battle, they can face South Korea and Australia, even if the record is flat, the record is at a disadvantage.
As a traditional strong team in the Americas, Brazil's strength is actually quite good. At last year's Copa America, they also finished third. But in this World Preliminary Round, they were really bad, first to Australia, and then to South Korea by 2 points, and it was this defeat that completely caused them to miss the World Cup.
