B | 随着2023年男篮世界杯亚大区预选赛第一阶段的比赛全部结束，第二阶段的分组也随之产生。根据预选赛第一阶段的成绩，4胜2负的中国男篮与伊朗队同积10分，分别暂列F组的第三、第四位。暂列F组前两名的分别是澳大利亚队(6战全胜)、哈萨克斯坦队(5胜1负)，后两名是日本队和巴林队(均为2胜4负)。E组的6支队伍是：新西兰队、黎巴嫩队、约旦队、菲律宾队、沙特阿拉伯队、印度队。2023年男篮世界杯将在印度尼西亚、日本和菲律宾进行，这将是篮球世界杯首次在多个国家举办，亚大区在本届世界杯赛上获得了8个参赛席位。目前，身为东道主的日本队和菲律宾队已获直通世界杯正赛的资格，但作为另一个东道主，实力相对较弱的印尼队还需迈过一道“门槛”，跻身亚洲杯赛八强，才能获得晋级世界杯正赛的门票。根据相关规则，如印尼队获得亚洲杯前八名，E、F组的前两名和两个小组成绩最好的第三名晋级世界杯正赛；如印尼队无缘亚洲杯八强，则两个小组的前3名晋级。此外，第一阶段已交战的双方不再对阵，成绩带入第二轮。因此，中国男篮在第二阶段赛的对手将是哈萨克斯坦队、伊朗队和巴林队。目前排名世界第三的澳大利亚队无疑是F组实力最强的球队，中国队在第一阶段赛中的2负正是拜其所赐。第二阶段，中国男篮的对手也不容小觑。作为中国男篮的老对手，伊朗队在2007年、2009年、2013年三次获得亚锦赛冠军。在2014年韩国仁川亚运会上，中国男篮也正是负于伊朗队无缘四强。在第一阶段赛中，哈萨克斯坦队双杀伊朗队，成为最大黑马。在6月中旬国际篮联公布的男篮世预赛亚大区战力榜中，哈萨克斯坦队位居榜首，中国男篮名列第四。而在刚刚结束的第三窗口期赛事中，巴林队又爆冷战胜哈萨克斯坦队，显示出不俗实力。因此，中国男篮要想晋级世界杯正赛，将面临不小挑战。目前，2023年男篮世界杯预选赛亚大区第二阶段的赛程已经出炉：8月25日哈萨克斯坦队对阵中国队，8月29日中国队对阵巴林队，11月11日伊朗队对阵中国队，11月14日巴林队对阵中国队，2023年2月23日中国队对阵哈萨克斯坦队，2023年2月26日中国队对阵伊朗队。(完)
