In a memorable performance that will remain in the history of national basketball, the women’s basketball team, with Macarena Rosset from Juni, beat the Dominican Republic 64-46 in their AmeriCup debut.
First it was the epic and then the emotion. Argentina’s debut in the AmeriCup was full of feelings in an unforgettable afternoon for the Senior National Team led by Gregorio Martínez.
After the uncertainty of the last hours and the sadness for the loss of three fundamental members of its structure, the decimated Albiceleste team gave a demonstration of character and left its heart on the parquet to recover from the countless adversities, focus on its presentation and beat Dominican Republic 64-46.
It was a fundamental victory to cement their chances of getting into the next round given that four of the five members of the group will qualify for the quarterfinals.
In addition, the victory had a flavor of relief for all but it was even more special for Macarena Rosset, who until three hours before did not know if she was going to be able to play: after receiving authorization almost at the time of the game, she was the scorer of the process with 14 points plus 6 assists and 5 rebounds.
It is worth noting that Mararena Rosset was moved to tears at a press conference, which she gave with her coach, precisely when they asked her about her feelings.
“I don’t know how I am here. There were two hours to go, I was in the room and I didn’t know whether to prepare things for the game … They told me and I changed the chip. I played for the three sisters who were not there. At last a good one for this group, after so many obstacles and adversities, “he said, trying not to break.
