When it comes to the level of Chinese basketball and the expectation for next year’s World Cup, Qiao erjievic said: “I have a relatively full understanding. In the next year, my team and I will face the important task of leading China’s men’s basketball to achieve good results in the men’s basketball World Cup in 2023 and striving for the direct shortlisted qualification for the 2024 Paris Olympics. Time is limited, but I will not lower my goal.”
“For a professional basketball coach, this is really a huge and attractive challenge. I understand how high the fans here expect from the national team, and I have higher expectations than them. This is not a show-off or big talk, but as long as I take over a team, I will prepare according to winning the competition and winning the medal, which must be the goal. Before every match starts, I will not admit that the opponent is better than us. Of course, I will shake hands to congratulate my opponent as soon as I lose.”
“For next year’s World Cup, our goal should have no upper limit.”
In the previous World Cup Asian qualifier, China won the men’s basketball World Cup and advanced to the 2023 men’s basketball World Cup in advance.
