Argentina:
Argentina are one of the four unbeaten teams remaining in the FIBA World Cup 2019. That tag will be tested when the South American team come up against Serbia in the quarterfinals.
But Argentina have done themselves proud in China, showing why they are being seen as a genuine contender for the medals in Olympics next year. They won the group ahead of Russia, followed by two second-round stage wins over Venezuela and Poland respectively.
That said, there are no reasons why the 1950 Champions should not aim for the glory, considering the USA are not at the untouchable level.
Serbia:
Meanwhile, Serbia’s unbeaten run was snapped by Spain, who were clearly the better of the two in the 2nd game of the second round stage.
Bogdan Bogdanovic was unhappy and vented out his frustrations in the post-match media interaction despite scoring a double-double. The Sacramento Kings start ended the game with a game-high 26 points and 10 rebounds.
But the worrying signs for the Serbians is Nikola Jokic’s performance right throughout the campaign. Denver Nuggets’ big-man has hardly shown his NBA form in China, with the game against Spain his worst ever in the tournament.
