The Paraguayan men’s team arrived yesterday in Buenos Aires, Argentina, with a view to the two matches that they will have to play in the “window” for the AmeriCup 2022 Qualifiers, against the teams of Uruguay and Brazil, for Group B of these competitions.
The Obras Sanitarias sports center will be the “bubble” for these games, a system adopted by FIBA (International Basketball Federation) for competitions in times of the covid-19 pandemic, in safeguarding the health of delegations from different countries.
At night, he held the first practice under the command of coach Juan Pablo Feliú, at the Obras Sanitarias stadium, with the purpose of diagramming the strategy for the first game against his Uruguayan counterpart. On Friday, our team will face the Charruas, while the next day they will do the same against Brazil.
Given the positions in the group, a victory against the “celestial” is imperative, taking into account the difficult challenge against Brazil and taking into account that three selected will advance to the main bracket of the AmeriCup. At the same time, the other country that makes up Group B, Panama, will play on Friday against Brazil and on Saturday against the Orientals.
The classifications in this group phase are as follows: Group A: Chile, Venezuela, Argentina and Colombia 3 points. Group B: Brazil 4, Panama 4, Paraguay 2 and Uruguay 2. Group C: Canada, Cuba, Virgin Islands and Dominican 3. Group D: United States 4, Bahamas 3, Mexico 3 and Puerto Rico 2.
