A1 - New Zealand 3-1
A2 - China 3-1
A3 - South Korea 2-2
A4 - Hong Kong 0-4
Group B (Code, Team, Win-Loss)

Group D (Code, Team, Win-Loss)
D1 - Iran 3-1
D2 - Kazakhstan 3-1

IF the current team standings continue and remain the same after the 3rd window.
The groupings will be:
Group E
A1 - New Zealand
C1 - Jordan
A2 - China
C2 - Lebanon
A3 - South Korea
C3 - Syria
Group F
B1 - Australia
D1 - Iran
B2 - Philippines
D2 - Kazakhstan
B3 - Chinese Taipei
D3 - Qatar
Australia and Iran are the only teams that Gilas Pilipinas will be grouped during the 3rd window. But since Gilas and Australia already met in the 1st round they will not battle anymore in the 2nd round.
Gilas will only face Iran, Kazakhstan, and Qatar twice also. That will be a total of 6 games each in the 2nd round.
After the 2nd round the 3 top teams from Group E and F will be selected plus the best 4th team (that's seven teams). If China (host) makes it to the top 4 teams of their group then both 4th-placed teams from Group E and F will qualify to the FIBA World Cup Basketball.
