Argentina, an Olympic dream and complex teams

Pablo Prigioni’s Argentine team will have its debut match in the Olympic Prequalifying tournament this Wednesday, August 16 at 9:10 pm against the Bahamas and the final match against Cuba on Thursday, August 17 at 10:00 pm (Argentine time).

The team led by Facundo Campazzo should play his first game yesterday against Panamabut as we expected One against the otherthe Panama team for economic and organizational reasons will not compete for the ticket to the 2024 Olympics to be held in Paristherefore the debut is new Bahamas.

What can Argentina do to beat the Bahamas?

The team led by From Marco had a good start to the tournament, losing 109-68 Cubatheir stars nba they took and with good reason more than 50% of the team’s shots, they have a good inside game as well it’s deandrecenter of phoenix suns and great shooters as they are Buddy Hield and Eric Gordon.

His mistake Cuba did not press the ball from the kick-off, despite the hierarchy, the Bahamian team, especially the nba They only spent a few minutes together on the court. This “full court” pressure can generate losses due to disputes. Then the team Prigioni We need to defend the hoop with patience, prevent the Bahamians from going on a scoring streak and try to grab the maximum amount of defensive rebounds to set the pace of the game for ourselves.

that's it

And in Cuba?

In Cubathe Argentina team can propose a game similar to the one against Czechbeing patient on defense, being focused and avoiding that bowler hatthe center of the group Moyaplay free, Juan Fernandez with a function of 5 in Fuenlabrada or Francisco Caffaro, the most physical player that Pablo’s team has, are the ideals to defend him. When it comes to rebounding, they must be quick, open the field and get a good margin early on.

Tortu’s return

Included in the squad list Gabriel Deckwho is he MVP of American Cup 2022, it is very good news that he is feeling well, without pain in his knee as he declared a few days ago, it is clearly a psychic injection for the team to see that a benchmark like “Tortu” is better than as expected at this point in rehabilitation. It’s important because the player from Santiago can withstand the big players in the paint on defense, our inmates are too young and we can’t take chances against NBA players. In attack, in addition to running the field, he linked up well with Facundo Campazzo, so he could play pick and roll and he had a very good game behind him, a factor that no other prisoner of the team had.
