Starting at 17:30 pm Beijing time on July 2, the Chinese basketball team and the Australian basketball team will play four warm-up games for men's and women's basketball. Among them, 17:30 on July 2 and 17:30 on July 4 are two warm-up games between the Chinese men's basketball team and the Australian men's basketball team, and at 17:30 on July 3 and July 5, the two warm-up games of the Chinese women's basketball team and the Australian women's basketball team, the first game to start is the Chinese men's basketball team and the Australian men's basketball team. Australia are currently ranked fifth in the world and have already reached the Olympic finals, so the Australian team is hoping to find their form and feel for the game against China.
Previously, the Australian team had played two warm-up games with the Japanese men's basketball team, and it can be said that there were backs and forths, and the suspense of the victory and defeat was maintained until the end, and it seemed that this team did not seem to match the fifth ranking in the world, but all this was an illusion. The Australian team has announced the list of two warm-up games with the Chinese men's basketball team, and after reading this list, everyone found that the Australian team with the Chinese team and the Australian team with the Japanese team are completely two teams, and his core veterans and big-name players who play in the NBA have all returned. For example, people like Ingles, Josh Giddey, and the veteran Dellavedova will all appear in the game against the Chinese men's basketball team, and these players will most likely play.
In the two warm-up games against Japan, these veterans needed to stay fit, and these big players in the NBA just finished last season's games and needed to rest, so they didn't play in those two games. Of course, it is also possible that the Japanese team is also a team in the Olympics, to some extent, they are potential opponents, and the Australian team also wants to retain some of their strength, but the game against the Chinese team is different, these players have been rested for about two weeks, and their fitness has recovered, plus the Chinese team did not make it to the Olympics, so there is no need to keep the team. Therefore, in this game with the Chinese team, I believe that these big-name main players will all play and strive to play a good result.
The level of the Australian team is still very high, basically a level of eight and four, and their goal at the Olympics is to be on the podium. In the case of such fierce competition in the team, it is natural to show more things to the coaches in the warm-up game, so that they can get more opportunities to play in the Olympic Games, which is more tragic for the Chinese team, and it is foreseeable that the Chinese men's basketball team will lose by a large score in this game, and even create a tragedy. This is one of the strongest opponents we have faced since 2024. Therefore. This game is likely to be the worst game that the Chinese team has lost so far, and it may even lose more than the warm-up games and main matches of the Chinese men's basketball team in the World Cup last summer, because in the men's basketball world, the Olympics is more important than the World Cup, which is a complete Australian men's basketball team.
On the Chinese men's basketball team's side, it has just undergone a change of coach, and the tactics need to be readjusted, and more importantly, the main players of the Chinese men's basketball team, such as Zhou Qi and Cui Yongxi, are currently training in the United States and will not participate in the warm-up game against the Australian team. At the same time, the Chinese team is in the stage of renewal, and many players in their playing years, such as Zhao Jiwei, have not been able to enter this squad, so in the case of strong opponents, our own strength has been seriously weakened, and the score difference in this game may be very terrifying. It is also necessary for fans to have a construction in their hearts in advance.
You can search for keywords through the search engine, such as the words of the warm-up match between China and Australia, and you can search for some live signals to watch the game between the Chinese team and the Australian team, hoping that the Chinese men's basketball team can learn from such a game and grow rapidly.
