@buerviper Germany #basketball World Champions! With a full-win card, all games for them, well deserved!
Breaking the final in the 3rd quarter, what a display of confidence, they made it all. Serbia fought until the end, but Germany retained the lead in the game with a stellar Dennis Shroeder.
Come forse saprete, gli admin di Uno stanno spingendo per eliminare il prefisso Masto dagli hashtag, suggerendo di utilizzare al suo posto il prefisso Uno, se si desidera limitare la visibilità a questa istanza, oppure solo basket per una visibilità generica.
Basket potrebbe andare bene per le competizioni internazionali; utilizzandolo come generico arrivano anche post che parlano di panieri, secchi...
Pallacanestro è troppo lungo.
Voi che utilizzate normalmente #MastoBasket cosa pensate?
Spain vs Canada, winner goes through, loser goes out.
1st quarter 21-21
Both started nervous. CAN managed it better so far. CAN strong in defensive rebound, no 2nd chances for ESP. ESP good at stealing with front defence, weaker in the paint.
ESP has an Italian coach, Scariolo. CAN has a Spanish coach, Jordi Fernandez.
These words come from an Italian man. Although his wife Blanca and their two kids are Spanish, he has contributed enormously to the concept of playing basketball "like Spain".
Grazie, coach. Sono fiero di te.
As Ricky Rubio says: Never too high, never too low.
Strong start! #Brazil very accurate on their shots 1st quarter. Overcoming Spain's defense with cold blood. Strong and performant: Caboclo. But lost focus in last 5 minutes.
#Spain very aggressive in defense. Good lead by Juan Nuñez. Juancho Hernangomez had some inaccuracies. Spain ahead thanks to 3-pointers in 2nd quarter and strong bench.
Open game! Will Spain keep strong? Can Brazil overcome? My money's on Spain
#Brazil had one option, but couldn't push forward. In the 3rd quarter #Spain got stuck. But Brazil too, and they only made it to - 5
Spain broke the game mid-4th quarter thanks to neverending strong defense and offense accuracy. Every player from Spain's bench was as good as the starting one.
Spain goes through as group lead (still to play Iran). Brazil should secure qualification against Ivory Coast.
Spain was on track for the 100 points with good scoring from the 3-point line in the 3rd quarter (Claver, Abrines) but lost focus at beginning of 4th quarter. To improve: too many turnovers. They will compete with Brazil to lead their group.
Ivory Coast remained strong in defense recovering some distance with good offenses (but not enough). They will compete to be the best African team to qualify directly for the Olympics.
