4 is the most decisive struggle of our national team to seize the first.
Our national counts 3 easy victories in as many matches against Senegal, Philippines and Puerto Rico. It has secured its qualification at 16. It will want to make 2 / 2 against Croatia and Argentina in order to get 1 position and avoid the host Spain to the semifinals.
Croatia at the Premier League defeated very hard the Philippines with 81-78 on the prolongation. Although they started well with 16-8 ahead of 1 in the 10th minute, their opponents raced the difference and preceded even with 3 69-66 points two minutes before the end but they could not make the big surprise. In 2 their fight against Argentina preceded early with two-time differences and managed to win with 90-85 despite the Argentine counterattack at the end.In the last game against Senegal played again with the fire but this time burned down. The Senegalese players were ahead of 41-33 at half-time and XENUMX-27 Grand Prix (8 points, 77 rebounds) won the 75-1,5 16 XNUMX leg with XNUMX.
The Croats with 2 / 2 will logically take the 1 position, but if they lose from our National team they will play their qualifiers in the last game against Puerto Rico.
The most serious problem for Croatians is the organization of the game since they do not have the classic play maker with Lafayette, Uckic and Simon long to be 2aria. Also, if we exclude Lafayette and Saric are slow and have a lot of problems in shifts and shifts .
However, we are used to playing well in the big games and I think today they will have a better person.
The match is difficult but in such odds it is worth betting on the victory of our national team.
