"It will be an eye-catching opener between the host and the U.S.A.," FIBA President Bob Elphinston said.
Li Yuanwei, vice president of the Chinese Basketball Association, said the men's team has a tough group while the women's draw is okey.
"It's a difficult group with opponents like Spain and the U.S.A.. The women's group is okey," Li said.
Greece, Germany, Brazil and Canada have better shot at the men's qualifying tournament, with Slovenia, Croatia, New Zealand and Purto Rico not ready to give up.
