Four main players were suspended, Dominicans, with 3 wins, and directly surpassed Argentina s first ranking group

4 main players were suspended and they had to make the first place in the group stage. Everyone had to panic, but they relied on their ruthlessness to bite the victory 74-70 and won three consecutive wins in the group stage!

It is a bad thing to talk about the background of the ban first: after winning Argentina in the last game, a total of 7 players on both sides were banned, and 4 were missing from the Dominicans (David Jones banned 2 games, Guerrero, Zuero and Delgado each banned 1 game). It was equivalent to playing in the remaining formation, and he was entangled with Nicaragua in the first quarter and no one took advantage of it.

But starting from the second quarter, Dominicans suddenly changed teams - a net win of 5 points in the second quarter 21-16, and another 2 points in the third quarter 22-20, and directly widened the gap to 59-52 in the first three quarters. What shocked me the most was their core explosion: Nunes scored 4 three-pointers and was like raining, scoring 8 rebounds and 2 blocks with 17 points alone; Soriano was even more ruthless, in addition to 16 points and 7 rebounds, he also sent 5 blocks, and the penalty area became his "no-fly zone"; and Montero, 11 points and 5 rebounds were nothing, 8 assists + 6 steals, and the passing and breaking the rhythm was tightly pinched.

Nicaragua counterattacked fiercely in the last quarter, recovering 3 points 18-15 in a single quarter, Omir scored 21 points, 18 rebounds, 7 assists, 3 steals, 2 blocks, and "quasi-five doubles" data. Ruiz was also fighting for 14 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists, but he just didn't catch up - even if the Dominicans only had half a lineup left, their defense at the last moment was not relaxed, and they forced the 12-point lead to the end.

Now look at the group stage rankings, Dominicans have 3 wins, 0 losses and 6 points, directly surpassing Argentina, which has lost 2 wins, and won the first place in Group C! You should know that they fought with a lack of soldiers and generals. How can they win this game rely on luck? Nunes' three-pointers, Soriano's block, and Montero's offense and defense are all hard power.

To be honest, I thought that 4 people would be defeated, but they used this game to prove that the team that beat Argentina to win the first place in the group was never a soft persimmon. If the suspended players can come back in the next quarter-finals, this team may make even more noise!
