On August 31, Beijing time, the men's basketball World Cup will be played again
With the seventh matchday approaching, the Men's Basketball World Cup has once again ignited the fierce fire. After the group stage, the focus turned to qualifying, which is the stage for teams to show their strength and chase glory. The Chinese men's basketball team showed their tenacious fighting spirit in this life-and-death battle, successfully defeating Angola and winning the first victory of this World Cup, while also preserving hope for Olympic qualification.
Qualifying after the group stage
After the group stage, the 17th to 32nd place qualifying round was in full swing. At this stage, the teams stepped onto the field again and fought hard to improve the rankings. As the host, the Chinese men's basketball team touches the hearts of countless fans every game. In the clash with Angola, they showed their indomitable fighting spirit and the strength of unity, and finally managed to counterattack their opponents and win the match. This victory is not only a victory, but also an inspiration to their self-confidence and a new vitality into the team.
Lebanon's victory
However, on the stage of the Men's Basketball World Cup, victory is never within reach.
Lebanon also went through a life-and-death battle as they faced Côte d'Ivoire in qualifying. This game can be described as a tough battle, you come and go, you fight me. In the end, Lebanon defeated their opponents 94-84, earning them their first victory of the World Cup and a glory for the country.
Lebanon's group stage experience
Lebanon's performance in the group stage was not satisfactory, but it did not fully reflect their strength. Strong teams such as Spain, Latvia and France who are placed in the same "death group" make Lebanon face a huge challenge in the group stage. Despite their victory over the odds, the ranking of 100 net minus points shows their competitive pressure in this group. However, Lebanon's luck seemed to have turned around in the qualifying stage, with opponents they faced were not as strong as in the group stage. This gives them more chances to win.
Lebanon's offensive strategy and key players
In the match against Côte d'Ivoire, Lebanon showed its all-out attacking character. In the face of Ala's injury, Spelman and Saoud became key figures in the team. Spelman showed well in the game, contributing 25 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 blocks with his outstanding performance. Saoud also excelled, scoring 29 points, five rebounds and eight assists. The outstanding performances of these two players injected strong motivation into Lebanon's victory and also put them closely behind the Chinese men's basketball team.
Future challenges and opportunities
Lebanon are currently in impressive form and will face Iran in the coming matches. Although the challenges remain daunting, they have proven their strength and determination. At the same time, the Chinese men's basketball team is also preparing for a match against the Philippines, in which they need to fight for a big victory in order to secure their position in the journey to Olympic qualification. However, it is worth noting that their opponents are not only Japan, but also the already up-and-coming Lebanon team. This game is destined to be full of suspense and will also become another key battle for the Chinese men's basketball team to impact the Olympic Games.
