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。    Colombo, Oct 19 (UNI) President Ranil Wickremesinghe is as corrupt as any other politician and he cannot save Sri Lanka from the present economic crisis, the leader of the country's largest leftist group said in remarks published on Wednesday.
Anura Kumara Dissanayake of the Janatha Vimukti Peramuna (JVP) also said that the mass protests in Sri Lanka failed to achieve its aim of capturing power although it forced President Gotabaya Rajapaksa to flee "for want of proper leadership and planning", The Island newspaper reported.
Dissanayake has said ‘Aragalaya’, as the mass protests against Sri Lanka's unprecedented economic mess was known, failed "for want of proper leadership and planning though it compelled Gotabaya Rajapaksa to give up executive powers".
He pointed out in a television interview that although the Rajapaksas’ power collapsed, "they were able to quickly regain, and consolidate political power, by installing UNP leader Ranil Wickremesinghe to complete the remainder of Gotabaya Rajapaksa’s term".
The JVP leader added that the incumbent Wickremesinghe administration was as corrupt as successive Rajapaksa administrations.
He felt that having forced Gotabaya Rajapaksa to flee Sri Lanka, the protest should have been diverted towards Parliament and force the government to dissolve it and call for a fresh election.
Because of this failure, the Rajapaksas succeeded in regaining political power, he added.
Commenting on former Army chief and MP Sarath Fonseka’s assertion that the ongoing anti-government struggle may lead to another armed rebellion, the JVP leader emphasized that his party wouldn’t go on that path again.
The JVP launched insurgencies in 1971 and 1987-89, leaving thousands dead.
Asked to explain the JVP's strategy, Dissanayake said they believed that the government should be relentlessly pressed until it called a general election.
“We’ll secure power through elections,” he said, warning the electorate not to be deceived by the Rajapaksas and Wickremesinghe again.
Dissanayake alleged that the the leader of the main opposition Samagi Jana Balavegaya (SJB), Sajith Premadasa, "was also part of the utterly corrupt political party system that ruined the country".
"(Premadasa) as well as a vast majority of those around him cannot absolve themselves of waste, corruption, mismanagement and irregularities though they now pretended to be paragons of virtue," he added.

二 | 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。

三 | 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。

四 | 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)
