The national captain, Ramiro Ellero, tells us about the three duels against the American Dream Team that ended in heavy defeats but meant a lot in every way.
“It was a unique experience, something dreamed of. We have seen these people play in the NBA since 2K 17. The point guard comes from being the champion and the guard from being the MVP. Playing 1 vs 1, defending them, was crazy . All the time I paused to watch boxscore because I couldn’t believe I was playing against them. “ As happened to Marcelo Milanesio, Juan Espil and company in the 1992 Pre-Olympic Games, the boys who make up the eSports Selection had their baptism before the Dream Team of the United States. In this case, of course, virtually. Argentina had a meeting this Wednesday with three friendlies, which all ended with bulky defeats (86-43, 74-49 and 83-42), but they served to know what the maximum power in this game (NBA 2K) is like and, incidentally , prepare for the second edition of the FIBA Sports Open that starts on 19.
“The biggest difference, beyond the individual quality of their players, was the technical issue, the connection and the distance of the servers. A lot of the losses were due to those (150-170) milliseconds of difference. Their players react much more. fast. Without this topic, it would be something else, without making excuses “, analyzed Ramiro Ellero, the captain and pivot of the national team, who averaged 7 points and 8.7 rebounds in the three games. The Argentine scorer was Lautaro Rodríguez (Lauti_RDGZ, shooting guard), author of 15 per game. They had several figures, starting with Jack Mascone (JBM), the defending champion’s scorer, who had averages of 17 points and 13.3 assists. Kenneth Hailey (Kenny Got Work), MVP of the last season, finished with 28 and 18 points in two of the games. The only woman on her roster, Wendi Fleming (ALittleLady87), also stood out.
Argentina is looking for one more friendly for these days and thus arrive in shape for the debut at the FIBA Sports Open, on the 19th, against Brazil, at 11.30.
