Lebanon Team News

Lebanon found themselves in the “death” group and they “suffered” quite a bit in the first round against the Latvian national team. In that match, they were in a totally subordinate position and were defeated by 39 points. Now they are playing against ultra-favored Canada, who presented themselves in a fantastic light, and anything but an honorable defeat will be a huge surprise.

Against Latvia, they looked quite slow and played an “amateur” match by the standards of the championship they are in. They especially had problems defensively, because they failed to “count” themselves in any attack and play quality defense, which Latvia took advantage of and punished them with long-range shots. The problem for Lebanon is that Canada plays at a much faster pace than Latvia and they have far better quality, especially in defense.

Worthy of mention among the regulars of Lebanon was Darwich who scored 19 points, while Spellman added 18 points and did not enter the racket. Spellman came to this championship with about 15 extra kilos, he looks physically very bad and unprepared and plays some casual basketball, but it is clear that he possesses enormous quality.

Canada Team News

In the first round, NBA Canada immediately highlighted its candidacy for the very top, since in the first round H, quite unexpectedly, they defeated the selection of France. Canada won by 30 points, and limited the French to 65 points! Canada’s play in the second half was particularly impressive when they allowed France only 25 points. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander dominated, scoring 27 points and adding 13 rebounds and 6 assists. He entered the match quite quietly, but when he took the ball he was the absolute engine of the Canadian selection. Next to him was Kelly Olynik who scored 18, while Brooks added 12 points. Barrett and Dort failed, but they did a superb job defensively.

Canada has a brutal defensive potential and can stop even the best attacks, so we think Lebanon will be in big trouble because of that. A convincing victory for Canada is expected, so the question is what will be the minutes played by the main players of Canada? But the reserves can also cause big problems for Lebanon, especially on the defensive side.
