China News Service, May 15th, FIBA announced that the holding time of the Olympic men's basketball drop-off will be adjusted from June 29 to July 4, 2021. The winners of each division will receive tickets for the Tokyo Olympics.
Up to now, in addition to the host Japanese men's basketball team, seven teams have directly qualified for the Olympics through the 2019 Men's Basketball World Cup. The Japanese men's basketball team has "hosted" to the men's basketball stadium with their host identity.
For the Chinese men's basketball team, next year's defeat will be the team's last chance to qualify for the Tokyo Olympics. In the summer of 2019, at the Men ’s World Cup in China, the Chinese team performed poorly in the group stage and missed the top 16. Only one win and one loss in qualifying, and finally ranked 24th, losing the opportunity to obtain tickets for the Tokyo Olympics in advance.
Detailed grouping. The picture comes from the FIBA official blog.
In the previous group draw, the Chinese men's basketball team was divided into Group A in Canada, Greece, and Canada. Group B in the same division included Czech Republic, Turkey, and Uruguay. Group A and Group B of each division perform a single cycle within the group, the top two teams cross each other for a single knockout game, and the division won the Olympic tickets first.
From March 13, due to the impact of the epidemic, FIBA has suspended all its games. Eventually, the Olympic qualifier was postponed for one year. (Finish)
