In order to qualify for the Olympic Games, you need to participate in various regional selection competitions. At present, the World Cup is one of the important competitions to get tickets for the Olympic Games. The best-performing national teams from all continents directly enter the Olympic Games, and the host countries of the Olympic Games also directly qualify for the Olympic basketball competition.
FIBA officially announced the basketball system of Tokyo Olympic Games. This competition is very different from previous competitions, that is, 12 teams will be divided into 3 groups, and the top 8 opponents will be decided according to the draw. In the previous Olympic Games, 12 teams will only be divided into two groups, with 6 teams in each group playing single round robin, with the top 4 teams qualifying and the 1/4 finals crossing.
Due to the poor performance of the China men's basketball team in this World Cup, it failed to achieve the best performance in Asia, so it is necessary to participate in the Olympic men's basketball trials and compete with teams from all continents that have not yet qualified for the Olympic Games for these last few places.
