The 2019 FIBA Basketball World Cup will be held on August 8th - September 15th in 8 cities in China. This group is a veritable "death group" will be held in Dongguan, with three teams of Australia, Lithuania, Canada, Senegal will face the fate of the bottom.
The H group competition will be held at the Dongguan Basketball Center. Built-in NBA specifications, the arena can accommodate 16,000 spectators and meet the requirements of international and domestic top basketball and NBA competitions. It is known as the "CBA First Pavilion." It covers an area of 267,000 square meters, with a construction area of about 63,000 square meters, with a total investment of 730 million yuan. At the same time, Dongguan Basketball Center is the home of the CBA giants Guangdong men's basketball team.
Dongguan Basketball Center will host Group H events (6 games), 17-32 qualifying sessions (4 sets), 5-8 qualifying sessions (1 game), and quarter-finals (2 games) in the World Cup. ) 13 games on the team.
The Australian team lacks NBA players such as Simmons, Meike and Exam, and Bogut, Mills, Baines, De La Vedova, Ingles, and other players who have played and are playing in the NBA. In the full play, five of them are active, and the lineup is not bad. In the previous FIBA World Cup list, they were ranked sixth. As a team with a healthy style of playing, the Australian team has caused many organizations to have a headache. In the 2016 Olympic Games, they only lost 10 points to the US team in the group stage, and once led 5 points at the end of the first half. In this World Cup, the absence of Simmons has a significant impact on them, but in terms of paper strength, they are still dominant teams.
As a traditional basketball team, the Lithuanian team has always had a stable and excellent performance in the world competition. In this World Cup, Motel Yunus, who plays in the CBA, will not represent the Lithuanian team. Still, the two major NBA players, Valanciunas and Little Sabonis will participate in the competition. In the recent warm-up match, the Lithuanian team performed well. They defeated the Russian team 88-72 and lost only 4 points against the Serbian side.
The Canadian team suffered the same "user shortage" as the US team. 16 NBA players chose to miss the World Cup, including Wiggins, Tristan Thompson, Olynik, Barrett, etc. They are still waiting for Corey Joseph to return to the team, but until now, Joseph has learned that he has not yet joined the team, but even so, the performance of the Canadian side is still excellent. In the two warm-up matches with the Australian team, they won 1 win and one loss, winning the game by 20 points.
The Senegal team's lineup is very mediocre. They lacked the stars such as Dion. This year's candidates who were selected by the Celtics in the NBA and reached 2.29 meters in the NBA also missed the competition. This led to a severe decline in their strength. In the group of death, they can't escape the fate of the bottom.
Focus game
Canada vs. Australia
This is the first game of Group H and the first robust dialogue between the top three. Canada even has no muscular strength even without Corey Joseph. In the previous warm-up match, they beat Australia 20 points, which put pressure on the Australian team. Although the power of the paper is more durable than that of Canada, the Australian team may pay the price if it is underestimated.
Lithuania vs. Canada
The strengths of Lithuania and Canada do not seem to be as big as the gap on the list. In the power list, Canada ranked 17th, Lithuania ranked 9th, and the Canadian team lacking NBA stars was seen to be declining. However, it is not easy for the Lithuanian side to win. The play of the two NBA players in Valanciunas and Little Sabonis will determine the game.
Lithuania vs. Australia
This is the finale of the final day of the group stage, and it is also the result of the team's qualifying and may even be related to who the team is first. The confrontation between the two groups is powerful, and they are all traditional basketball teams. Under the fierce battle, who can laugh at the end of the two sides?
