Is there any hope for China to reach the quarterfinals?

In the second draw of the men's basketball group match of Beijing Olympic Games, Greece and Germany were divided into Group B where China was located, and the hope of China's men's basketball team entering the quarter-finals was almost dashed. On the other hand, China women's basketball team is grouped with weak teams such as Mali, New Zealand and Czech Republic, and there is great hope to enter the semi-finals. In this regard, some insiders pointed out that chinese basketball association sacrificed the men's basketball team for the achievement of women's basketball. In the history of the Olympic Games, China women's basketball team won the silver medal at the Olympic Games in 1992, and never entered the quarterfinals of the Olympic Games again, while China men's basketball team broke into the quarterfinals twice in 1996 and 2004. There is little difference in Olympic achievements between men's basketball team and women's basketball team, but the attention of China men's basketball team with Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian and Wang is unmatched by women's basketball team. But in the end, the lottery results of men's and women's basketball were beyond everyone's expectation. As a matter of fact, it is understandable that the hosts of the Olympic Games and the World Cup receive some care. It is said that China men's basketball team should be more qualified to be cared about than China women's basketball team. "From the first men's basketball draw, I was sure that the China men's basketball team didn't have a good result. No matter which three teams qualify in the lost game, it is difficult for China to beat them. At the beginning, if Australia and Angola were divided into Group B at the same time, this would be the most ideal result. If you can't do this, the China men's basketball team is doomed to fall into the group of death. " A famous basketball player told reporters. However, the celebrity did not deny chinese basketball association's public relations ability. He said: "In fact, chinese basketball association has done a lot of work, but it is impossible to have it both ways. Choose either the men's basketball team or the women's basketball team. If China men's basketball team and women's basketball team benefit from grouping together, this is also unacceptable to FIBA. It seems that chinese basketball association finally chose the women's basketball team. " When talking about the basketball association's "son preference", the celebrity said that outsiders believe that the men's basketball team has great influence and should be protected first. Actually, it's not. The pattern of the world men's basketball team has not changed, and European and American teams have formed a monopoly trend. China men's basketball team entered the quarterfinals twice, which was due to luck: 1996 defeated Argentina, and two absolute main players were injured; Serbia and Montenegro, which met in 2004, was also absent from many main players and unwilling to fight. In the final analysis, even if the group scores well, China men's basketball team will have to rely on luck to enter the quarter-finals. "The situation of women's basketball is different. China women's basketball team has made remarkable progress in recent years, and has already possessed the strength of the quarter-finals. If the group scores well, it is not extravagant to enter the quarter-finals or even win the card. In the view of the leaders of the Basketball Association, the "political achievements" of the women's basketball team are far greater than the effect of the men's basketball team entering the quarterfinals. " The celebrity finally said this sentence.
