Well, :CHN China will probably end up being the biggest victim of this nonsense qualification system. I'm happy that this nonsense backfired on FIBA.

 

Edit: to clarify, I am not happy that China got robbed because I have anything against the Chinese team. I am happy China got robbed because this is clearly a worst case scenario for FIBA, and they deserve it after designing such a stupid and unfair qualification system.

Yeah and we played without Marjanović (still mistery why he played just 2min today) and Jokić of course. So Raduljica was main center today.

 

it's not a mistery. he can't guard anyone, he would probably have tough time defending you and me. 

 

djorđević's mistake is puting jokić at 4 bjelica at 3. you play jokić 35mins, bjelica 30mins and case closed.

Raduljica is joke of a  player.havent seen center who was given so many blocks

 

Raduljica is not playing serious basketball for like 4 years now at least. Coach loves him because he's good for the team, but I love the team too and still I don't play in China now.

well I don't consider them "victim" I think this format is designed to help China. everything was in their favor. they just didn't use it and gifted it to Iran. it's kind of funny we qualified to the Olympics only by beating Philippines and Angola !

 

btw you guys probably can't imagine how huge is basketball in China (they won several medals in other sports but basketball is something different for them) before 2004 it was always very easy for them to qualify. but after losing the Asian Champs final in 2009 (and after Yao's retirement) they found out they don't dominate the Asian basketball anymore. since then they always hosted the Olympics qualifiers . 2012, 2016 and 2020. they did everything in their power (and i mean everything) to qualify in men's basketball. I have absolutely nothing against the Chinese sport in general but I'm glad their men's basketball failed to qualify and not only because it's Iran in their place, I would say the same if it was any other Asian team.

The biggest victim was lithuania and canada that were in the most difficult pool. Poland was favored from this system. Look where they were in 2017 eurobasket and now will be at least the 5th best europe team. How they managed to improve so many places in 2 years?

Wow! This team is not as good as it was 10 years ago but today they have played a really good game and we are a step closer of qualifying for Tokyo (hopefully it will be enough with reaching the semifinals).

 

Nevertheless, I still think that Serbia is the main favorite for the gold medal, even with a more difficult road to the final. Now we have to focus on Poland, because it will be a very tough match. ¡Vamos España!

 

PS. Argentina-Serbia will be a very interesting match to see, I hope Argentina can upset the serbians! Apart of Spain, I always root for them in basketball and I will be very happy to see both teams in SFs.

 

why Abrines and Mirotic arent in team?

Yeah the FIVB and FIBA really, really need some help writing good qualification documents. I’m fine with the best few from the World Cup qualifying, but it shouldn’t serve as the regional qualifiers.

All team sports should follow the FIH model of Olympic qualifiers. Its simple, makes sure the best teams compete and is cost effective. 

 

No need to get fancy.

Abrines left NBA in January due to a a depression and he decided to stop playing basketball this year until July, when he signed with FC Barcelona, so he was not available.

 

Mirotic was called but he refused to come because he wanted a break after a long NBA season. Serge Ibaka (Raptors) and Chacho Rodríguez (Olimpia Milano) also declined being part of the team this year.

    • yeah you are right there but again diffrence between being a runner who has her own event, plenty of events can happen there,and being a pole vaulter that has his own event,that goes on it's own,i mean mondo's shown he can run so i guess some sprinting events could take place there but still but i get your point
    • Yeah but you have things like the Keely Klassic which was not all female 800m races.  
    • ''PV Only'-''mondo classic'',feel like it's a bit pointless to even say pv only,it's kinda obvious lol.knew this was happening but seriously waiting for this,especially since i'll be able to watch it live,so glad eurovision sport is so easy to get access to.

    • WEDNESDAY 12 MARCH   Switzerland-Slovakia 4-3 Germany-Great Britain 4-3 Netherlands-Slovakia 11-0   Slovakia will finish on fifth place after losing their 4 matches. We will know the finalists tomorrow.   If two teams ends up on the same points, the mutual match between the two teams will be decisive for their placements. If 3 teams ends up on the same points, the goal difference in the matches between only these three teams will be decisive.
    • Oh, how nice, i didn't know. Yes, we like Italians very much, similar emotionality? Ways of expressing? Sth like this. As to Russia and Germany. The things they had really done to us are pretty unbelievable and unforgivable. I think that most people in Europe know this in theory, we felt it in reality. But we still try not to cross borders, we don't live with hatered. Maybe we should. When my mom was telling me real facts from WWII in Poland well...i was close to be ready for revenge on some Germans. But its not Polish charachteristic, maybe our mistake. And yes, Poland was peaceful internaly up to some 2007/8. Then PiS started to divide this nation, telling who is Polish who is not etc. You are either a real Pole Cathol or traitor left wing gay. Luckily they had lost but our nation is strongly divided, like two nations. We all miss this old united Poland but are living like enemies. Really. Both camps see this second as national traitors, idiots of Kaczyński or Tusk (go to Berlin etc). Probably foreigners are free of this but Poland has changed through those years. Italy seems to be lovely place to live. Not ideal, impossible, but lovely. 👍 Btw, our prime minister already in Ankara 🙂🙂. To be true we made historical mistakes. Our neighbours were in bad position, we were like empire. But were to slavic, to naive. We created some of our neighbours, lost Ukrainiians to Russia so it is not bad luck, rather bad mistakes.
