A few days ago, China's three-man basketball officially announced that the grouping of the 2022 three-man basketball World Cup was officially released.
According to the group situation, the Chinese men's team's qualifying situation is not optimistic, while the Chinese women's team is in a good situation.
The Chinese men's team was divided into Group C, which is the death group of this World Cup. In the same group were Latvia, the winner of last year's Tokyo Olympics, the netherlands, a two-time World Cup silver medal team, Poland, a European powerhouse, and our old rival Japan.
Last year our men's three-man basketball team was a huge disappointment at the Olympics, ranking second from the bottom of all 20 teams participating in the Games. Hopefully they will have a better performance in this World Cup.
On the women's side, the Chinese women's basketball team has germany, Romania, Lithuania and Japan.
As the champion of the 19-year World Cup, the women's basketball team has little problem of qualifying, and the goal of the women's basketball team in this World Cup is still to move towards the championship.
The Three-Man Basketball World Cup will be held in Antwerp, Belgium, from June 21 to 26 this year, and the team size is the largest since 2019.
The format of this tournament is also different from the past, this three-person basketball World Cup can only be directly promoted to the top 8 by ranking first in each group, while the second and third teams in each group will enter the playoffs at the same time, and the eight second and third teams will compete for the remaining 4 places in the play-offs.
I hope that the Chinese men's and women's three-person basketball team can achieve excellent results in this World Cup!
