中新社北京7月5日电 北京时间7月5日，2023年男篮世界杯亚大区(亚洲/大洋洲地区)预选赛第二阶段分组出炉，中国男篮与澳大利亚队、日本队、哈萨克斯坦队、伊朗队和巴林队同在F组，晋级世界杯正赛面临挑战。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。    Vladimir Putin has prepared a cunning new “raw materials trap” relying on Bolivia’s fledgling lithium mining industry, with the trap expected to “snap shut” and leave the West again dependent on Russia for its raw material needs, Welt contributor Tobias Kaufer fears.,Pointing to the Latin American nation’s massive, untapped deposits of lithium, Kaufer expressed concerns over Russia’s interest in helping Sucre tap these resources, which are crucial for the production of batteries for electric vehicles.,According to the US Geological Survey, Bolivia’s proven lithium reserves are the largest in the world, with the country’s 21 million tons ahead of Argentina and Chile (which have 19 and 9.8 million tons-worth of reserves, respectively, and together account for more than 30 percent of global lithium output).,“Those with access to the deposits can have a say in the commodity’s prices and availability. Russia apparently has particularly good chances in Bolivia at the moment,” Kaufer wrote. For Europe, he warned, Moscow’s success in the lithium ‘poker game’ would make the commodity another area where the EU depends on Russia, just like with oil and gas.,Russia’s success will be contingent on “the outcome of the Bolivian political crime thriller,” the contributor stressed, pointing to the raging struggle between President Luis Arce, a member of former president Evo Morales’ Movement for Socialism party, and right-wing forces backed by the US attempting to overthrow leftist forces.,Ex-Bolivian President Jeanine Anez Sentenced to 10 Years in Prison Over 2019 Coup11 June, 01:54 GMT,“This is where Russia comes in. Morales is considered a clear supporter of Vladimir Putin,” Kaufer wrote, recalling the former president’s calls for an “international mobilization to stop the interventionist expansionism of NATO and the United States” in March following the escalation of the crisis in Ukraine, and years of efforts by Sucre to shore up ties with Moscow during his presidency.,“If Moscow now succeeds in supporting the socialist’s return to power, the path to the lithium deposits would be clear. At the very least, Morales could urge President Arce to sign a deal with the Russians,” the Welt contributor believes.,Rosatom, the Russian state nuclear giant, has expressed interest in helping Bolivia tap its lithium riches, and is one of six companies which have applied for their development. Others include Lilac Solutions (a US-based start-up with investments from BMW and Bill Gates’ Breakthrough Energy Ventures), Chinese battery giant CATL, and three other Chinese companies.,Along with its interest in Bolivia’s lithium, Rosatom has teamed up with Norilsk Nickel to mine for lithium ores in Russia’s Murmansk region. Last year, the company also announced plans to build a major lithium ion cell manufacturing facility in Kaliningrad, with the ambitious project hoping to begin churning out up to 4 GWh worth of batteries, or about 0.5 percent of total global demand, by 2024.,Morales' Legacy: Bolivian Joint Nuclear Project With Russia's Rosatom Unique for Latin America10 June 2021, 16:53 GMT。

二 | 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。

三 | 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。

四 | 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)
