No Grimm! Clarkson leads the Philippines World Cup team, what are the odds of the Chinese men's basketball team?
It is well known how dark the home court of the Philippines is, and if the Chinese men's basketball team does meet the host in the knockout round, it must be prepared to deal with difficulties.
A few days ago, the Philippine Basketball Association announced a list of 21 men's basketball teams competing in the World Cup, although 3 of them were naturalized, but as long as there were no accidents, only Clarkson was finally selected.
In this list of 21 people, Clarkson, Justin Brownlee, Angelo Cume are naturalized, according to FIBA regulations, the final World Cup can only have one naturalized player, so in terms of fame and strength, Clarkson is almost certain to be selected, and the other two naturalized players will be eliminated.
The Philippines is one of the hosts of this World Cup, and they also used the advantages of the hosts to become the first team, being placed in Group A, while the Chinese men's basketball team is placed in Group B, and the two teams are very likely to meet in the qualifying round, which may become a key battle for who qualifies for the Paris Olympics in Asia.
So not only Puerto Rico and South Sudan in Group B - Serbia is too strong to consider - is the main opponent of the Chinese men's basketball team to advance to Paris, even the Philippines must be taken into account, so as to ensure that nothing is lost, and the Philippines plans to allocate the Chinese men's basketball team to its own half district, obviously also have the strength to fight us, strive for a match to advance to Paris.
There were rumors that NBA star Jaylen Green, who has Filipino descent, is expected to represent the Philippines in the World Cup, but it seems that Green is not on the list, and the Philippines can really play in addition to Clarkson, only Soto and Aidu are left.
However, Soto has made little progress over the years, and the NBA has gradually distanced himself, through the NBL league counterpoint, Zhou Qi has a greater advantage over Soto, and Aidu has been affected by injuries in recent years, that is, his combat effectiveness has declined by more than one notch.
In particular, it is worth mentioning that half of the Chinese men's basketball team has defeated Clarkson's Philippine team at the Jakarta Asian Games, so even with the help of NBA stars, the Chinese men's basketball team has a psychological advantage.
However, it is well known how dark the home court of the Philippines is, and if the Chinese men's basketball team does meet the host in the knockout round, it must be prepared to deal with difficulties.
