2023 Basketball World Cup 17-32 Final ranking: China's men's basketball team is 29th in history and Japan is 19th

On the evening of September 2, Beijing time, the 2023 Basketball World Cup ended all the competition for the 17-32 qualifying rounds, and the final ranking of the teams participating in the qualifying rounds was also determined. The Chinese men's basketball team ranked 29th, creating the worst ranking in the team's history to participate in the World Cup. In the last World Cup, four years ago, the Chinese men's basketball team only finished 24th, the worst ranking in team history since participating in the World Cup (provided that it participated in the World Cup).

According to the rules of World Cup qualifying, the third and fourth places in each group stage enter the 17-32 qualifying round (16 teams in total), and the two adjacent groups combine together to form the new four groups M, N, O, and P (4 teams per group). Each group plays a game with three or four players from the neighboring group to produce the final ranking of this group. Previous group stage records and gains and losses will be carried into the new qualifying round, and the teams that have played in the group stage will not play each other in the qualifying round.

The group ranking of the qualifying round, like the ranking of the group stage, is also determined by factors such as points, win-loss relationship, mutual gains and losses, and total scores.

In the end, the first of the four groups M, N, O, and P produced 17-20 places, the second produced 21-24 places, the third produced 25-28 places, and the fourth produced 29-32 places.

If the teams in the same group have the same record, first compare the points gained and lost between each other, and then the total points scored by each other. If the teams in different groups have the same record, compare the points of gains and losses of all competitions first, and then the total score.

Based on the above criteria, the final qualifying standings for 17-32 places are:

17. South Sudan, 3 wins and 2 losses, plus or minus +25 (first in Group M)

18. France, 3 wins and 2 losses, plus or minus +11 (first in Group P)

19. Japan, 3 wins and 2 losses, plus or minus -10 (first place in Group O)

20. Egypt, 2 wins and 3 losses, plus or minus +1 (first in Group N)

21. Finland, 2 wins and 3 losses, plus or minus -24 (second in Group O)

22. New Zealand, 2 wins and 3 losses, plus/minus -34 (second in Group N)

23. Lebanon, 2 wins and 3 losses, plus or minus -82 (second in Group P)

24. Philippines, 1 wins and 4 losses, plus/minus -21 (second in Group M)
