The Bahamas of DeAndre Ayton, Eric Gordon and Buddy Hield shocked the Argentina of absent Vildosa and won 82-75, securing qualification to the 2024 pre-Olympic tournament!
THE Pablo Prizionicoach of “albiceleste”, spoke after the match and expressed his dissatisfaction with the fact that the team no longer has the talent of previous years, stressing that the Bahamas they had three NBAers and Argentina none.
At the same time, he commented on the great importance of the absence of the injured (but not seriously) Luka Vildosaas he left his team with only his creator Facundo Campacho.
In detail what he said:
“It was a final and the team played it as such. We executed 95% of everything we had prepared and talked about, that’s the difference with the first game, that we had a chance to win it. We were there, we played at a very high level, considering there are three high level players in the other team. The loss of Vildoza left Campacho alone in this position that we use to create a lot
Eric Gordon’s quality defined the game. There were two or three actions where we were not close to him. Against a team that has that quality of players you have to follow the game plan until the end, you can’t give him those options because he’s used to it, we controlled him well on the three-pointer. We had sent him a lot of times down the left, we had it pretty controlled through it all and he got away from us two or three times and that was the difference.
It was easy for someone to come to the National team with six or seven players from the NBA when Argentina was in a strong position. This is no longer the case. Instead, we saw the Bahamas with three NBAers while we had none. This is the new reality. We continue without players from the NBA, with good players from Europe. We must proceed based on this logic in order to improve the new talents at the same time”.
