Spain Team News

Spain had everything in their hands, a great situation before the start of the last quarter and an advantage of 11 points. The leaders of the game Latvia were in a counter rhythm and the Spaniards had to finish the opponent as “matadors”. But, in the last quarter, the Spaniards tried to completely slow down and “deaden” the game, which turned out to be wrong. In those long attacks that they forced, they introduced themselves into a counter rhythm, while the Latvians resolved their attacks very quickly and were precise.

Scariollo kept Llull and Brizuela on the bench for too long, while Beto Diaz struggled a lot in organizing the attack.

Willy Hernangomez was the most efficient player in Spain, while Garuba and Brizuela each added 11 points. Spain is always ready to slow down every team as much as possible and to “spoil” the game in its own way. They tried the same with Latvia since the first half was for an extremely small number of points. We believe that they will try the same recipe with Canada, with a more effective ending.

Canada Team News

Canada is on the verge of relegation, and they are one of the teams that have shown the most in the previous part of the championship. The defeat against Brazil cost them dearly and they will have to play all or nothing against the world and European champions, the Spanish team. Against Brazil, they also had a double-digit advantage, but they did not manage to break away from persistent Brazil, and in the uncertain ending, they seemed to lack freshness and experience. Brazil took advantage of Canada’s slightly worse day with excellent defensive “traps” and won.

In their composition, they have seven NBA players who make a huge difference, especially Thunder’s All-Star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who is one of the best players in this championship. In addition to SGA, Canada also has the excellent RJ Barrett, who is one of the main players of the Knicks. Kelly Olynik also plays well in this championship, expanding the opponent’s defense. The greatest quality of Team Canada is their defensive potential. They break opponents with their defense and intensity. They have a couple of players who are top defenders at the NBA level as well, first of all, we are thinking of Lu Dort and Dillon Brooks.

As part of the preparations for this championship, Canada beat Spain 85:80, and that game is another indicator of how equal these two teams are in terms of quality.
