The 2023 Men's Basketball World Cup Chinese men's basketball team was placed in Group B, losing to Serbia by 42 points in the first game, and losing to the newly established South Sudan by 20 points, and will play Puerto Rico, the last opponent of the group stage at 20:00 tonight. And the game has not yet started, the Chinese men's basketball team has given up resistance, these three signals have indicated the reason!
China 69-89 South Sudan
1. Training cancellation
The Chinese men's basketball team played against Puerto Rico, the last opponent of the group stage, on August 30, and the training scheduled for August 29 belonging to the Chinese men's basketball team from 18:45-20:45 was canceled, and only a short training session was held on the morning of August 30, and free throws were added, and the Chinese men's basketball team did not accept interviews after the training. This signal shows that the Chinese men's basketball team is retaining sufficient physical fitness to prepare for qualifying.

Second, the gap in strength
Is there a gap between the Chinese men's basketball team and Puerto Rico? In this way, the Chinese men's basketball team lost to South Sudan by 20 points in the last game, while South Sudan lost to Puerto Rico by 5 points, it is false to say that there is no strength gap, so it has become an established fact that the Chinese men's basketball team lost all three games in the group stage.
Puerto Rico 101-96 South Sudan
Third, back-to-back races are pressed for time
If the Chinese men's basketball team loses to Puerto Rico at 20:00 tonight, it will rank fourth in Group B, which means that Angola, which is the third place in Group A, will play Angola, which is third in Group A, tomorrow at 16:00 pm, and face the opponent back-to-back, and there is no sufficient rest time for the Chinese men's basketball team.
Therefore, even if the Chinese men's basketball team fully prepares for Puerto Rico, it is basically no chance of winning, it is better to retain physical fitness, fully prepare for the matches with Angola and the Philippines in the qualifying round, and continue to retain a trace of the theoretical possibility of advancing to the Olympic Games!
