Latvia Team News

Latvia has been one of the most annoying basketball teams in Europe, which when it gets into a shooting rhythm can beat even the best teams on the planet. All the players in the roster shoot for three points, and in very high percentages, so they can be a real landmine for everyone in group H, where Canada and France are the big favorites, but certainly Latvia should not be written off. They are coming to this championship without their main player, Kristaps Porzingis, a new member of the Boston Celtics, who was training with the national team, but due to an injury, he will have to miss the championship. Instead of him, the main role of Latvia will be played by the Bertans brothers, as well as Roland Smits. Latvia plays in a very fast rhythm, they force a solid defense, from which comes a large number of stolen balls and attacks in transition. The flow of the ball is fast and fluid and there is always a free player on the three-point shot. There are not many complications in Latvia’s game, they do what they know, there is not much improvisation, and the roles are well distributed.

In the preparatory games, they showed that they were in excellent shape, winning 5 out of 6 games. Before the defeat against Lithuania a few days ago, they had a string of 14 victories, and in the meantime, they also beat Turkey, Greece, and Serbia, which speaks volumes about how well-coordinated the team is.

Lebanon Team News

Basketball in Lebanon is slowly growing and progressing from year to year. In the last twenty years, they even visited the world’s strongest teams four times and won the FIBA Asia Cup four times. In 2006, they made one of the biggest surprises by beating France, but the question is what they can do in the “death” group where they are absolute outsiders.

The main player of the team is Wael Arakji, who led the team in the qualifiers for the world championship but was also the best in the preliminary matches. Also, you should pay attention to El Darwich and Zeinoun, who are important links in Lebanon’s game. One of the most important news for Lebanon is that Amir Saud will be ready for this match.

A special question mark is placed next to the name of Omari Spellman, who received Lebanese citizenship and will play in this championship. Spellman will definitely bring strength and quality, which he showed in the match against Arizona College, but he is in very bad physical shape, it seems that he came with 10-15 extra kilos.
