In fact, Argentina's failure to qualify was an accident and not a surprise.
The surprise is that Argentina's theoretical combat effectiveness is not as embarrassing as everyone thinks, many people think that Argentina is not green, in fact, it is a misunderstanding, their core lineup is just not the golden generation can play, but they are still at their peak.
In terms of the final match against the Dominican Republic, Argentina has 5 players with NBA experience, not counting the 40-year-old Delfino and 36-year-old Laprovitola (they are actually in good shape), the other three are 28 years old, Brucino 29 years old, Campazzo 32 years old, all still playing years.
But it's not surprising that Argentina's core players are missing too much, with Brucino playing 10 of the 12 qualifiers, Campazzo playing six, Dijk playing three, La Provitola playing only three, and most importantly, missing a lot in their first three games against direct rivals Venezuela and Dominica.
You must know that in recent years, Venezuela and Dominica have eaten the fat and strong of the troops, there are a large number of players directly produced by the NCAA, and the core of the current G League play, the strength has improved very much, but Argentina is still as always to not take the opponent seriously (but concentrates on playing the Copa America), can this attitude not lose?
But the biggest surprise is from Brazil in the next group, in fact, in theory, the top three + the best fourth in the two groups in South America, Argentina has no problem even if it is a wave. But Brazil on the opposite side is also wavering, and it is more wave than them, such as losing to Colombia, which is at the bottom of the group, such as winning Mexico by 40 points but having to send the opponent a game...
In the end, Brazil sent itself to fourth place in the group with a +175 goal difference higher than the United States, squeezing Argentina (+79 difference) to death.
So Argentina is wronged? Of course, they are the champions of the Americas, the top four teams in the world, in terms of process, losing to Venezuela and Dominica in the case of personnel is not too outrageous (in short, it is much better than losing to Colombia next door to Brazil), but because Brazil died, they ended up being unlucky, wrong? It's so wrong.
However, the life-and-death battle that came out of the core was overturned by Dominica, and this method of death left Argentina without all excuses and reasons. In the last game against Canada, the 40-year-old veteran Delfino scored 12 points on 5-of-6 shooting to help his team win the initiative. But he was sitting on the bench and watching his young core squander their double-digit lead. I don't know how Dirk, Campazzo and Brucino will feel when they look into his eyes after the game.
Yes, there are no winning generals in this world, but in this way, the Argentine men's basketball team is too embarrassing. #头条创作挑战赛 #
