The Paris Olympics will open on July 27, Beijing time, and the basketball competition of the Olympic Games will also start on that day. The schedule for the men's basketball group stage of the Paris Olympics has been released, which is as follows:
27 July, 17:00 Group A, Australia vs Spain, 19:30 Group B, Germany vs Japan, 23.15 Group B, France vs Brazil;
July 28 3:00 Group A Greece vs Canada, 17:00 Group C South Sudan vs Puerto Rico, 23:15 Group C Serbia vs United States;

In this Olympic Games, United States, Serbia, South Sudan and Puerto Rico are in Group C of the men's basketball team. It is worth mentioning that Serbia, South Sudan and Puerto Rico were in the same group at last year's World Cup, and China was also in the same group as them at that time. It's really a thing, the opponents of the three group stages of the Chinese men's basketball team in the World Cup last year all advanced to the Olympic Games, and there is really a feeling that there is one less person in the dogwood.
FIBA has announced the MVP rankings:1. LeBron James (United States), 2. Nikola Jokic (Serbia), 3. Shay Gilgeous-Alexander (Canada), 4. Stephen Curry (United States), 5. Dennis Schroeder (Germany), 6. Giannis Antetokounmpo (Greece), 7. Victor Wembanyama (France), 8. Josh Giddey (Australia), 9. Franz Wagner (Germany), 10. Anthony Edwards (United States)
At the same time, FIBA also released the latest edition of the men's basketball power ranking for the Paris Olympics. 1 to 5 are: United States, Germany, Serbia, Canada, Australia; 6 to 12: France, Spain, Greece, South Sudan, Brazil, Japan, Puerto Rico. It is worth mentioning that the host France men's basketball team has been despised, they are only ranked sixth in the power list, the host France men's basketball team has last year's NBA champion Wembanyama and the best defensive player Gobert partner inside, can be described as airtight, plus France Pippen Batum, the host will definitely show a different style on home. As the only Asian team to participate in the Olympics, Japan men's basketball represents Asia at the Olympics, but it seems that they are not favored, ranking only 11th in the power rankings, second from the bottom, just above Puerto Rico, who defeated the Chinese men's basketball team last year.
This Olympics is the first time in 48 years that the Japan men's basketball team has qualified for the Olympics with hard power. The Japan men's basketball team is considered to be the strongest in the history of Japan basketball, and they are also expected to be high at this Olympic Games. But as for the goal of this Olympics, Yuta Watanabe said: "It's not a medal but an eight-round final, which is a realistic and challenging goal for us. I'm very grateful to the fans for calling us the strongest of all generations, but not the strongest generation has to be decided by the results. If you can get a good result, that's what you can say. Seeing the Japan men's basketball team representing Asia in the Olympic Games, Chinese fans can only sigh and sigh infinitely, the time goes back to 2008, and I still remember the Chinese men's basketball team and the United States, the first score was Yao Ming's three points! Remember that the Chinese men's basketball team and United States held out for half time! I still remember the Chinese men's basketball team sparing no effort to beat Germany.
Remember the Chinese men's basketball team playing Spain and everyone never give up! I still remember that the Chinese men's basketball team used to be the hegemon of Asia! The current Chinese men's basketball team can no longer find the fighting spirit it once had, how can the flowers that have been in the greenhouse resist the wind and frost, it's really sad!
