On February 25, Beijing time, the World Preliminary Tournament window continued to play, competing with Australia and Chinese Taipei in the same group as the Chinese men's basketball team, and Taipei defeated Australia 61-98. This means that the pattern of the group stage gradually has a very clear pattern, that is, China and Australia will compete for the top position, while the series of Japan and Taipei, combined with the level of comprehensive strength, will most likely enter the third ranking.
In the rules of the group stage of the latest World Preliminary Round, 4 teams are in a group, and the top three with the best results qualify, from the Chinese men's basketball team to the Japanese men's basketball team. The Chinese men's basketball team has achieved a record of 2 consecutive wins, which means that no matter what the record with Australia, it is already an early group stage qualifying advantage. The competition between Australia and the Taipei men's basketball team can be seen that the huge gap in personnel reserves and comprehensive strength, Australia's winning advantage is extremely obvious. If combined with the situation in the entire group stage, Australia's series against the Japanese men's basketball team is also very likely to win easily.
And the Chinese men's basketball team encountered the Taipei men's basketball team series, if this team is the mainstay, the Chinese men's basketball team even if it is in the second team, or the third team, has the capital to easily win.
For Du Feng's guidance, this is the most satisfactory ending for him.
From the perspective of comprehensive strength, the Chinese men's basketball team easily won Japan, taipei basically there will be no big problems, but the real test is the Australian men's basketball team, which is also one of the few strong teams in the World Preliminary Round group.
The Chinese men's basketball team prepares for the latest Paris Olympic Games, if it continues to play The Asian 2-3 class team, in fact, there is not much significance, especially at the level of the Olympic Games as the goal, Du Feng to Zhao Rui, Guo Allen, Zhou Qi as the core team, the formation of the Chinese men's basketball team of a new generation of core, playing Japan can be seen, is a completely one-sided game, in this regard, playing with a strong team is the real value, and Australia as the medal winner of the Tokyo Olympic Games, personnel reserves and comprehensive strength, to achieve the ranks of first-class strong teams.
Therefore, after the World Preliminary Tournament obtains the right to appear, the Chinese men's basketball team should meet with a strong team like Australia, not just fight for the ranking, and it is the mainstream direction to compete with the strong team to improve.
Taking a step back, even if the Chinese men's basketball team loses to Australia in the window period, it is also the result that the Chinese Basketball Association or the fans can accept, and what is really unacceptable is the abuse at the Asian level, which is difficult to move forward in the World Series.
