On March 3, 2022, Beijing time, the 2022 Women's Basketball World Cup draw ceremony was officially held, and the first teams of this lottery ceremony included the United States, Australia, Canada, Belgium, France and China! Teams in the second bracket include Japan, Serbia, South Korea, Nigeria, Bosnia and Herzegovina and pending teams! The rules for the draw are 12 teams divided into two groups of six teams each, with the top four in each group advancing to the quarterfinals!
After the draw, the Chinese team and the United States, Belgium, South Korea, Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as the pending teams are in Group A! The pending team will be determined by FIBA Central Bureau from among the teams participating in the Washington/Santo Domingo Qualifiers. The teams in Group B are France, Serbia, Japan, Nigeria, Canada and Australia!
This signing position is actually very good for the Chinese women's basketball team, the previous women's basketball team in the latest world ranking, the Chinese women's basketball team ranked seventh, in front of the Chinese women's basketball team are the United States, Spain, Australia, Canada, Belgium and France. In this group, only the United States and Belgium rank better than the Chinese team!
From the overall strength point of view, the Chinese team in this group is not as good as the United States team, although the Belgian team ranks ahead of us, but in fact, the overall strength between the Chinese team and them is basically no gap, it belongs to the same level of the team, but also the Chinese women's basketball team in this group the most important opponent! The South Korean team behind is not a big threat to the Chinese women's basketball team, and Bosnia and Herzegovina has not entered the top 20 of the latest ranking, so basically as long as the Chinese women's basketball team can beat Belgium, it can steadily get the second place in the group!
For the Chinese women's basketball team, the luck of this group draw is actually quite good, if we can play our strength stably, we really hope to successfully qualify in the World Cup with the second best result in the group!
