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。    Xi hopes quake-hit nation can rebuild itself at early date    President Xi Jinping sent a message of condolence on Tuesday to Colombian President Abelardo de la Espriella after a magnitude 7.4 earthquake rocked the South American nation on Monday, killing more than 200 people and injuring over 600.     In his message, Xi said he was deeply shocked to learn that a powerful earthquake had caused heavy casualties and significant property loss in Colombia. On behalf of the Chinese government and people, he expressed deep condolences over the deaths and extended sincere sympathies to the bereaved families and the injured.    Xi also expressed confidence that under the leadership of the Colombian government led by de la Espriella, the Colombian people will make concerted efforts to overcome the disaster and rebuild their homes at an early date.    Meanwhile, the China International Development Cooperation Agency, which coordinates foreign aid missions, announced that the nation stands ready to provide assistance within its capabilities to support quake relief efforts in Colombia.    China is closely following the developments and will provide assistance in an appropriate manner based on Colombia's needs, agency spokeswoman Tang Ying said in an online statement on Tuesday.    Rescue efforts across western Colombia continued for a second day as emergency workers dug through the rubble of collapsed buildings in several cities and towns, including Pereira and Cali, amid grim expectations that the death toll from the country's most powerful earthquake in decades could rise.    According to the Colombian Geological Service, the quake hit at 7:34 am on Monday at a depth of 96 kilometers, with its epicenter identified near San Jose del Palmar in the department of Choco, about 400 km from Colombia's capital Bogota.    As much of Choco is accessible only by boat, through the jungle or by airplane, little was known about the extent of damage there.    De la Espriella, who has declared a state of national emergency, traveled to Choco's capital, Quibdo, on Monday night to assess the damage and announced that he had mobilized "the entire military and police apparatus" for relief and rescue operations.    Earlier in the day, he told reporters: "Our intention is to cooperate in any way necessary. Here, there are no distinctions or ideological divisions when it comes to defending our people or showing solidarity."         According to local media reports, 32 cities in the western region have been severely affected, while five departmental capitals — Pereira, Cali, Quibdo, Manizales and Armenia — continue to remain under red alert for aftershocks.     The quake has turned dozens of multistory buildings into piles of concrete and twisted metal in cities such as Pereira, and brought down the towers of a landmark cathedral in Manizales. In Cali, a city of about 2.2 million people, at least 85 people have been confirmed dead. Several floors of a city hospital collapsed during the temblor, trapping many patients.    Seven airports in western Colombia have suspended operations due to structural damage. A video posted on social media ‌and verified by Reuters showed the Cali airport swaying violently and people scurrying for shelter amid collapsing chunks of concrete.    On Monday, the Chinese embassy in Bogota activated an emergency response mechanism to assess the safety of Chinese nationals. No casualties among Chinese citizens were reported as of press time on Tuesday.    The powerful earthquake was also felt in Ecuador and Venezuela, which share their borders with Colombia. In June, two back-to-back temblors in Venezuela had killed more than 6,300 people.                    。

二 | 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。

三 | 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。

四 | 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。
