The team led by Che García fell 99-87 in a match equivalent to the fourth window towards the Japan-Indonesia-Philippines 2023 World Cup.
The The Argentine basketball team fell on Thursday night to its pair from Canada, 99 to 87in a match corresponding to the fourth window of the American qualifying round, towards World Cup Japan-Indonesia-Philippines 2023. At the Memorial Arena in the city of Victoria, British Columbia, the local team remained undefeated in the standings (7-0) and won the following advances: 28-21, 52-39, 83-68 and 99 -87
The Argentina team led by Néstor García from Bahia finished with a 5-2 record in this group E of the qualification competition. His best values of the day are Nicolás Laprovíttola with 30 points (3-8 in doubles, 4-5 in triples, 12-14 in free throws), 3 rebounds and 2 steals; plus Facundo Campazzo with 17 goals8 assists, 7 rebounds and a recovery.
In the winning quintet, NBA’s Oklahoma City point guard Shai Gilgeous Alexander marked the hours of the match and was decisive in making 23 points (8-19 on field shots), 8 goal passes, 4 rebounds. , 2 blocks and a steal. Rough insider Kelly Olynik (Detroit Pistons) added 21 points and 7 rebounds.
From the beginning, the Argentine coach’s court layout bet on three wide open perimeters (Campazzo-Laprovíttola-Bolmaro), a forward who dares to step into the paint (Deck) and an insider who prefers to avoid fluid contact (Delía ), from a slight muscle discomfort. That proposal bet some dividends to the albiceleste quintet, while Laprovíttola’s goal lasted (3-4 in triples). So, Argentina even managed to move in front (15-14), with 3m to go. 41s. for the end of the first chapter. But enough for the local cast to decide to turn to the inner game, Olynik and Dwight Powell (Dallas Mavericks) were chosen as squires for the meeting to definitely change course.
The Canadian team, in addition, caused defeats in the first line of the rival (they finished with 6 in the first 10 minutes) and the score 28-21 seemed “good business” for those led by ‘Che’ García .
At the start of the second quarter, the match became sloppy, with both teams feeling a lack of fluidity. In this context, the Canadian bank (Robertson-Pangos) allowed the locals to get on the board (47-31, with 1m 28s on the clock).
Argentina hardly enjoyed a favorable passage with Delfino connections (good income)-Deck and the always ‘hot’ hand of Laprovíttola (he finished with 21 units in the first half) to fill the result in an unfavorable development (52-39) .
The effectiveness of the shooter Gilgeous Alexander (11 points) ended the settlement of the match, the third part barely started. Because those guided by DT Nurse (leader of the Toronto Raptors, NBA champion in 2019) accelerated and highlighted their dominance (74-55), there are 4m more. 25s. for closing.
Only the individual arrests of Campazzo (11 points) and Laprovíttola (9) and an explosion from Deck gave a dim light of recovery to an increasingly tired Argentina, but they did not give up (83-68)
In the closing quarter, more lackluster than the previous ones, the River Plate team reduced the numbers, taking advantage of the effectiveness of the experience Delfino (8) and two attacks on the basket of a Deck (6), which ended on the podium of the highlight.
Argentina will look to bounce back on Monday, at 9:40 pm, when they face the Bahamasat the Sports Center of Mar del Plata.
