THE New Zealand pulled off a surprise win over Croatia on Wednesday afternoon (03/07) as it prevailed with score 90-86thus putting “fire” in the A’ group of the Pre-Olympic tournament in SEF.
And this because, Croatia, completed its obligations in the group with 1-1 record and score differential at +12at the time where the New Zealanders have a 1-0 record and +4, with the Slovenians following with 0-1 record and -16 point differentialafter the very bad performance they made in the defeat by “Hrvatska” with 108-92.
Somehow, the qualifying case for the Luka Doncic’s company makes it difficult then today’s result, as in Slovenia it is not enough just to win against the New Zealanders. Now, the team of Aleksandar Sekulic is invited on Thursday afternoon (04/07, 17:30), to beat his opponent with at least ten points differenceas then, both teams will be at 1-1 and at -6. In this tie, he will prevail Slovenia, after winning the game between them.
In a different scenario, his team Josip Cesar will follow Croatia in the semi-finals, while with a win he secures first place.
Finally, let’s say that there is also the… extreme scenariowho wants Slovenia to take the victory by 29 points, thus reaching +13 in its total point difference, “stealing” first place from Croatia!
