Argentina has started the basketball world championship the best way possible. They finished first in their zone with a perfect 5-0 record, and are currently waiting to play New Zealand on the first match of the play offs this Friday.
Yesterday, Carlos Delfino led a fourth quarter rally by Argentina as they recovered from a five point deficit at the end of the third period to take a 83-79 win over Serbia & Montenegro. Argentina, last Olympic champions, are currently ranked the 3rd team on the FIBA ranking, and four years after a close loss in the finale, Argentina’s golden generation is looking for the title that could have been theirs long ago.
New Zealand, a strong yet not very difficult team, is going to be the first step in Argentina’s way to the finals. Two teams appear to be strong contendents to Argentina’s champisonship intentions: United States, and the very strong Spanish team.
