The Spanish men’s basketball team achieved an important victory against Greece in its second match at the Olympic Games. The victory allows it to reach the last day of the group stage depending on itself to qualify for the quarter-finals.
They will face a very tough opponent, Canada, who have won their first two matches against Greece and Australia. Sergio Scariolo’s team must win to ensure their place in the next round. If they do so and Greece wins against Australia, they will top their group. On the other hand, if the Greeks lose, Spain will be first if they win by 15 points, second if they win by between 12 and 14 points and third if they win by less than 11 points.
However, if ‘La Familia’ loses to Canada, they could be eliminated if Greece beats Australia by between 3 and 17 points. It will not be easy to overcome the team led by the Spaniard Jordi Fernández, who has 10 NBA players and stars such as Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jamal Murray.
The match will be played on Friday 2 August at 17:15 and can be seen on television on La 1. It can also be followed on the pay channels Eurosport 2 and Max. Once they take to the field, they will know the result of Australia-Greece, which will be on the same day at 13:30.
The Olympic Games have not been great for the Spanish delegation so far, with only Fran Garrigós winning a bronze medal. We will have to wait for more successes to come, and team sports are where Spain has placed its hopes.
