Brazil Team News

Brazil made one of the biggest surprises at the tournament by defeating Canada, which trampled everything in front of it in the first round of the competition. At the very beginning of the game, the Brazilians managed to slow down the Canadian team and limited them to only 13 points. The very beginning of the match indicated that Brazil had prepared very well tactically for Canada and was defending them exactly as it should. In the second quarter, Canada consolidated and gained a ten-point advantage, which they held almost until the very end when Yago Dos Santos took the ball. Yago is the driving force behind Brazil, and he was in full glory at this championship. He was not able to shoot in the first part of the match, but when it broke, Yago took the ball and hit two important shots over Dillon Brooks, who is considered one of the best defenders in the NBA league. Yago had a big help in this match from his former teammate from Ulm, Bruno Caboclo, who kept Brazil from scoring in the first half. Caboclo scored 19 points and had 13 rebounds while Yago only had 8 points, but four of those came in Clutch Time, but he did add 10 assists.

Against Latvia, they will also have to slow down the game, because Latvia, like Canada, plays at a fast pace.

CLUTCH. 🥶

Latvia Team News

Latvia arrived at the championship without the main star Kristaps Porzingis and they were in a group with Canada and France, and few gave them a chance to find themselves in the second round. However, after an easy victory against Lebanon, the Latvians defeated France in an exciting finish and secured passage. In the match against France, they were without their captain Dairis Bertans, who ended his participation in this championship, and Latvia’s rotation was additionally shortened.

Against Spain, they were again in a very bad situation, although they played quite well during the entire match. Spain put them in their rhythm and at the end of 3/4, Spain had +11 and a great situation in front of them. However, Latvia finds the right rhythm in 4/4, and uses the indolence of the Spaniards, first of all in the attack and on the reserve wings, primarily Grazulis and Zoriks, to equalize, and then to take advantage, and to a great victory. Latvia gained 16 points in the last quarter and limited the Spaniards to 11 points. Bertans was the most efficient player in Latvia with 16 points.
