The 2023 Basketball World Cup Sub-Regional Qualifier Schedule is out
According to the latest news released by FIBA, the 2023 Basketball World Cup Sub-Regional Qualifier, the third window period of the competition is officially determined, this window period will be officially opened on June 30, held in Melbourne, Australia, that is to say, the Chinese men's basketball team will go to Melbourne, Australia to participate in the World Cup Sub-Regional Qualifiers.
Considering some safety factors, this group A and B level matches will be carried out in the form of closed-loop management of the tournament system, the Chinese men's basketball team is divided into group B, because the Chinese men's basketball team did not participate in the game in the second window period, therefore, in the third window period, the Chinese team will play 4 games, the two opponents are the Australian men's basketball team and the Chinese Taipei men's basketball team.
The specific schedule of Group B is as follows:
June 30, 16:40 pm – China Men's Basketball Team vs Australia Men's Basketball Team
July 1, 15:10 – China Men's Basketball Team VS Chinese Taipei Men's Basketball Team; 17:40 PM – Japan Men's Basketball Team vs Australia Men's Basketball Team
July 3, 14:10 – Japan Men's Basketball Vs Chinese Taipei Men's Basketball Team, 16:40 PM – China Men's Basketball Team vs Australia Men's Basketball Team
July 4, 16:40 – Chinese Taipei Men's Basketball Team VS China Men's Basketball Team
5 days and 4 games will test the physical fitness of Chinese men's basketball players
From the Schedule of the Chinese Men's Basketball Team, it can be seen that the game time is quite compact, after playing the first game, less than 24 hours, and then to play the second game, which will be a great challenge for the player's physical fitness, and, after a day off on July 2, there will be two more games, the next two games, is also a back-to-back game, I have to say that the Chinese men's basketball players to participate in this game is a very challenging game.
Of course, back-to-back matches will also appear in professional leagues, but considering that the Chinese men's basketball team is going to play in Melbourne, Australia, this makes the team's difficulty coefficient multiply. Therefore, Du Feng, the head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team, must consider the intensity of the schedule when leading the team to participate, consider the physical fitness of the players in advance, and prevent the occurrence of player injuries. Because, if a player plays in a state of fatigue, then the probability of injury will be higher.
Whether the Chinese men's basketball team can beat the Australian men's basketball team has become the focus of the game
From the perspective of the strength of the two opponents of the Chinese men's basketball team in the World Cup qualifiers, there is a certain gap between the strength of the Chinese Taipei men's basketball team and the Chinese men's basketball team, and the victory of the Chinese men's basketball team in these two games will not have too many difficulties, as long as the Chinese men's basketball team plays at a normal level, then the victory will come naturally. However, the level of the Australian men's basketball team is far above the Chinese men's basketball team, so whether the Chinese men's basketball team can beat the Australian men's basketball team is also a big point of view, here, it is also hoped that the Chinese men's basketball team can play its own characteristics and can do its best to defeat the opponent. If, in the two games with the Australian men's basketball team, can win one game, this will also be a very good encouragement for the Chinese men's basketball team, which will help the Chinese men's basketball team out of the trough.
The Chinese men's basketball team currently has 4 points from 2 wins and 0 losses, ranking 3rd in the B group standings, the first place is the Australian men's basketball team, 3 wins and 0 losses with 6 points; the second place is the Japanese men's basketball team, 1 win and 3 losses with 5 points; the fourth place is the Chinese Taipei men's basketball team, 0 wins and 3 losses with 3 points. According to the rules of the 2023 Men's Basketball World Cup Qualifiers, the top three teams in the four groups can advance to the next round of competition, and the promoting teams will be divided into E and F2 groups, there will be a total of 2 teams, and finally 12 teams will compete for 6 places to qualify for the World Cup.
In Asia, although the strength of the Chinese men's basketball team is not as good as the Australian men's basketball team, compared with other teams in the Asian region, the Chinese men's basketball team still has a relatively large advantage. Therefore, under the leadership of Du Feng, the Chinese men's basketball team will not have too many problems in getting a ticket to the World Cup.
However, how the Chinese men's basketball team performed in the 2023 World Cup will make everyone pay great attention, after all, in the 2019 Men's Basketball World Cup, the Chinese men's basketball team achieved the worst result in team history, and the team has since entered a trough. Therefore, in the 2023 World Cup, Du Feng will usher in a new round of challenges, and whether the Chinese men's basketball team can achieve good results will determine whether the team can get out of the trough. Here, I also wish the Chinese men's basketball team good luck.
