The Canadians, who defeated France by a large margin in their debut, confirmed that they are a candidate team to win gold in the World Cup, having now defeated Lebanon 128-73. Canada is in the second phase thanks to taking the win in two games with absolutely huge results.
Canada and a historic record in world cups
Not only was the attendance record broken at a World Cup a few days ago. But the moose also managed to break a record in the history of the World Cups, distributing a total of 44 assists as a team, a mark never seen since the beginning of the competition, precisely in Toronto 1994.
Spanish coach Jordi Fernández gave all his players to film to rest the starters, with Kelly Olynyk the standout, the Canadian had 12 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 steal. The only player not changed at all is Luguentz Dort, who according to a direct source, left the game against France with a problem and the coach is taking care of him for the game against Latvia.
Last challenge before the second stage
Canada has one match left, and it’s against Latvia, who also won their first game and we’ll have to see what they do today against France, the Latvians are a surprise as they’re without their star player Kristaps Porzingis in their squad, but if they win today against the French team, they will be in the second round.
