After watching the game against Mexico with Luka Doncic in the locker room, the Cordovan point guard was on the field for 4 minutes against Toronto and did not convert.
It was a Saturday with bittersweet taste for Facundo Campazzo. It is that the Córdoba point guard first enjoyed the victory of the Argentine National Team against Mexico 2-0 in the Qatar 2022 World Cup, a game that he saw together with Luka Doncic and several of his teammates in the Dallas locker room, but then suffered a nNew loss for the Mavericksthe third consecutive in the NBA, this time against the Toronto Raptors 105-100, as a visitor.
The Argentine basketball player doubled the time on court in relation to the previous match of the Texan team, by play 4 minutesbut that period was not enough for him to display the best of his game and he could barely collaborate with an assist. His personal scorecard was completed with a failed three-point attempt and a personal foul.
One more time, the great figure of the game for Dallas was Luka Doncicwho scored 24 points (8-15 from the field) and also contributed 7 rebounds, 9 assists and two steals in just under 43 minutes of action.
In any case, the production of the talented Slovenian player was not enough to prevent the victory of the Raptors, in large part because he did not have enough support from the rest of the team.
In this framework, Toronto became strong with a solid performance and the great offensive contributions of OG Anunoby and Fred VanVleet, authors of 26 points, plus the support of Chris Boucher, who scored 22.
With this result, Dallas was left with a record of nine wins and the same number of losses and marches in eleventh position in the Western Conference. The next commitment of those directed by Jason Kidd will be this same Sunday from 10 p.m., Argentine time.
Facundo Campazzo and Argentina’s victory: “I saw it until the end in the locker room”
The Cordovan basketball player said that practically none of the alternatives of the Argentine victory in Qatar 2022 against Mexico was lost. He said that he watched the game with Doncic and told how the Slovenian lived it.
“I saw it until the end in the locker room. I brought the iPad and the TV was also on for the Argentina match. On the bus I saw him a little bit, I followed him here, and happy because we could win“Campazzo said.
In addition, he said that Dallas is a team made up of players who like soccer: “It’s a fairly international locker room. With Luka we were watching itwho supported Mexico, supported Argentina, to play a little joke on me ”.
“There are many players who are following the World Cup: we have Australia, France, Germany. It’s quite varied so we watch the matches,” he commented.
Knowing great sports events after participating in the World Cups and the Olympic Games, Campazzo described what a player feels before facing a debut like the one Argentina had in the World Cup, with a defeat against Saudi Arabia.
“The first games are always the most difficult.s, because you are nervous, anxious, a mixture of emotions. You want me to start now. Obviously I don’t know much about soccer, but from debut experience in tournaments, that usually happens, ”he described.
And he completed: “Today for us was a final and it was lived as such. After the victory the people were very happy”.
