2022 is definitely a big year for the fans of the Chinese men's basketball team, the CBA league has just ended, but the Chinese men's basketball team will soon assemble for training, starting from June 30, the Chinese men's basketball team will participate in the World Cup qualifiers and the Asian Cup, and then participate in the Hangzhou Asian Games held at home in September!
Just recently, the Chinese men's basketball team ushered in a huge positive, the Australian and New Zealand Olympic Committees confirmed in an interview with Reuters that these two Oceania countries will not send any athletes to participate in the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games! Australia even denigrated the Asian Games, Asia's top multi-sport event, saying that all Australian sports organizations are not interested in participating in the Asian Games.
Australia and New Zealand have been very bad in Oceania and Europe because of football and basketball, and have been fully promoting the integration of sports into Asia over the years, and Australian Olympic Committee President John Coates has repeatedly said that Australia attaches great importance to the Asian Games, and other countries in Oceania are willing to play in the Asian Games. In 2019, the Olympic Council of Asia held a special meeting and approved that athletes from Oceania countries can participate in the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games, and athletes from Australia and New Zealand can participate in beach volleyball, basketball, football, indoor volleyball and fencing!
The Asian Olympic Committee allowed Australia and New Zealand to participate in the Asian Games, it can be said that it is a very big challenge to Asian countries, especially basketball and football projects, although Australia does not have an absolute advantage in Europe, but in Asia is basically a sideways walk, football and Asian Australia face Asian countries are crushed, the Australian men's basketball team even if it sends 2 teams to participate in the Asian Games, as the Asian hegemon China men's basketball team has little hope of winning.
But because the Asian Games have nothing to do with the World Cup and the Olympic Games, the Australian and New Zealand Olympic Committees are not profitable and early, and naturally they are unwilling to send athletes to participate in the Asian Games, but Australia and New Zealand do not participate, which is definitely good news for the Chinese men's basketball team!
Looking at the Asian basketball world, the Chinese men's basketball team except for a few new and old alternating periods, basically long-term dominance, 2018 Jakarta Asian Games, Chinese men's and women's basketball teams have won gold medals! Compared with four years ago, the current Iranian men's basketball team is even more green and yellow, the 37-year-old Haddadi can barely play with his height, but the former Asian first small forward Bahrami has reached the age of 40, And Bahrami is now physically confrontational, and he can't run, four years ago, half of the Chinese men's basketball team has defeated the Iranian men's basketball team, and the current Iranian men's basketball team has no advantage in facing the Chinese men's basketball team.
On the Korean men's basketball side, their most reliant Lee Hyun Chung signed up for the NBA draft, basically will not represent the Korean men's basketball team to participate in the Asian Cup, the Korean men's basketball team wants to enter the final four are difficult, it is impossible to pose any threat to the Chinese men's basketball team. The Chinese men's basketball team in the Asian Cup qualifiers and the World Preliminary Tournament has been 4 times and the Japanese men's basketball team has played, the World Preliminary Tournament played the Japanese men's basketball team has no ability to fight back, the Asian Cup Hachimura Made clearly expressed that he does not play for the Japanese men's basketball team, even if the horse farm Yuda and Watanabe Yuda return, the Chinese men's basketball team to defeat the Japanese men's basketball team is also easy.
Therefore, after New Zealand and Australia decided not to participate in the Asian Games, with the current strength of the Chinese men's basketball team, it is almost easy to win the Asian Games championship, and the Chinese men's basketball team has basically booked the Asian Games gold medal in advance.
