The Argentine men’s basketball team will play their second friendly of the tour of Spain on Tuesday, when they face their counterpart from Venezuela, in the city of Alicante.
The team led by Pablo Prigioni from Cordoba is preparing for the Olympic Prequalifier and will play against Vinotinto starting at 3:45 p.m. (Argentine time). It can be viewed via streaming through the Basketpass application.
The Albiceleste team has just beaten the Catalonian team 94-88 last week in the first preparation match. In that match played in the town of Manresa, the guard from Bahía Lucio Redivo was the top scorer with 21 points. While point guard Facundo Campazzo, who recently signed with Real Madrid for four seasons, signed a list of 11 points, 9 assists, 8 steals, 5 rebounds and 7 turnovers.
After being left out of the World Cup of the discipline that will begin in a few weeks at the joint headquarters of Indonesia-Japan-Philippines, the representative from Albiceleste will have one more chance to access the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.
Argentina must first draw the Olympic Prequalifier to be played in Santiago del Estero, from Monday 14 to Saturday 20 August. In that series of matches, Prigioni’s team will face Panama, Bahamas and Cuba in their group.
The winner of the Pre-qualifier will qualify for another tournament, an international Pre-Olympic, which grants a ticket to Paris.
Venezuela, directed by the Argentine coach Fernando Duró (former Olympian of La Banda and Comodoro Rivadavia Gymnastics), will play the World Cup in Asia and will start their performance on Saturday 26 in Okinawa, Japan, facing the Slovenian team, which has the star Luka Doncic (Dallas Mavericks). The other two opponents in group F will be Cape Verde and Georgia.
