World Cup official survey: 39% of fans predict that the Chinese men's basketball team will win, and more than 60% are optimistic about Japan and the Philippines
On August 31, Beijing time, the qualifying match between China and Angola is getting closer and closer, and the official social media of the World Cup also announced the fans' investigation of today's match results. So far, only 39% of fans believe that the Chinese men's basketball team can beat Angola, but more than 60% of fans are optimistic that Japan and the Philippines can win.
This also shows that most fans have little confidence in the Chinese men's basketball team, after all, the three consecutive defeats in the group stage make people very disappointed with the performance of the men's basketball team. Coupled with their back-to-back operations, with only about 18 hours to adjust, it really seems that the odds against Angola, the veteran African powerhouse, are indeed slim. It is worth mentioning that in the survey about the match against Puerto Rico a day ago, only 34% of fans believed that the Chinese men's basketball team could win, and the Chinese men's basketball team finally lost to Puerto Rico 89-107, watching the opponent advance to the round of 16.
The Chinese men's basketball team is down, but their two main competitors are optimistic to win today's game. First Japan vs Venezuela, where 68% of fans believe Japan can win. If Japan beats Venezuela, they will have a second World Cup victory, a solid lead in the race to the Olympics, and they could even secure a place one game earlier if other Asian teams can't win.
As for the Filipino men's basketball team, their opponent is South Sudan. 61% of fans believe the Philippines can win, after all, they have home-court advantage and Clarkson, who plays in the NBA. In the first 3 games, Clarkson's shooting percentage was not high, and now facing South Sudan, this is also a life and death battle, will Clarkson usher in a big outbreak?
On the whole, the strength of the Chinese men's basketball team has been very unfavorable, and even foreign media have called them "the worst team in the World Cup". Domestic public opinion is also full of criticism, Wang Zhelin, Zhou Qi and others have been named by many media, believing that they are not tough enough. What kind of performance can the Chinese men's basketball team, which is on the cusp of the storm, play in this game? Will they lose one more game, as most fans believe, suffering four consecutive defeats?
