At the Geraldao Magalhaes stadium in the capital of the State of Pernambuco, the albiceleste team achieved resounding success in the first official presentation of the Cordovan Paul Prigioni as DT.
The former player of the New York Knicks and current assistant in Minnesota Timberwolves took the reins of the national team to replace Néstor García from Bahia (he left last Tuesday, after the victory over the Bahamas in Mar del Plata for the World Cup qualifier) and achieved an approved on your first exam.
The progression of the win was as follows: Argentina 29-24, 52-32, 73-45 and 95-62.
The albiceleste quintet will continue the dispute in zone B of the continental competition with the duel that will take place on Sunday, at 8:10 pm, with the Dominican Republic, which lost to Puerto Rico 88-82.
The escort of Barcelona, Nicolás Laprovíttola, was erected -once again- in the maximum way of scoring of the Argentine team, with a balance of 18 points (3-3 in doubles, 3-6 in triples, 3-3 in free throws), an assist, a recovery and a block in the 22 minutes he remained on the court.
The quarterback of the Denver Nuggets, Facundo Campazzocollaborated with 13 units, 9 assists, 4 rebounds and 3 steals in 21m., while forward Gabriel Deck (Real Madrid) from Santiago contributed 14 points, 2 goal passes, a block and a rebound in almost 19m.
In the Caribbean quintet, led by coach Edniesha Carry (she is an assistant with the NBA’s Portland Trail Blazers), forward Ivan Aska stood out, responsible for 13 points, 6 rebounds and 2 steals.
The match was only even in the first quarter, when after an 8-0 start in just 1m. 25s., Argentina lost concentration, lost four balls and allowed a reaction from the islanders, who -even- went ahead by 19-17, with just over 2 minutes to go in the first quarter.
The albiceleste quintet exhibited two good maneuvers that ended in conversions at the end of the opening chapter, which is why DT Prigioni’s team went up 29-24.
At the beginning of the second segment, the albiceleste team began to define the fight: they showed patience to circulate the ball and caused the opponent to lose (5) on the first line. Thus, a partial 12-0 gave Argentina a reassuring advantage (41-24) to dominate development and scoring comfortably.
At the beginning of the third period, it was enough for Campazzo to start the engines for the difference to widen to 30 points, although the Central American cast (which did not have its best figure Walter Hodge, affected by coronavirus) reduced the distance to 28 (45- 73) to enter the final room.
In the last 10 minutes, already with the so-called ‘second unit’ (that is, all substitute players) on the field, Argentina continued to increase the figures, with Juan Pablo Vaulet (12 points) who took advantage of his minutes and became the finisher – practically- of almost all attack maneuvers.
