FIBA World Cup results on September 1: Spain and Canada lost in shock, the US entered the quarterfinals
Attention was focused on the US team in the match against Montenegro, where coach Steve Kerr and his team were tested quite a lot on the day they did not throw well from distance.
Thanks to the brilliance of stars like Anthony Edwards or Austin Reaves, the Chinese team was able to continue to pursue their championship goal with a 12-point victory.
In other developments, two stars Dennis Schroder and Luka Doncic brought the German and Slovenian teams to the quarterfinals, respectively.
Also on September 1, some shocking results appeared. Latvia and Brazil were respectively underestimated by defending champions Spain and the dark horse team Canda, but two earthquakes occurred.
Below are some notable matches and detailed results of the matches on September 1:
Montenegro showed how prepared they were against the US team, evidenced by a comprehensive offensive effort, active competition and fiery competition. Exactly 1 point is the difference between the two teams after the first two rounds.
Entering the second half of the match, a little adjustment from coach Steve Kerr in personnel, accompanied by the individual brilliance of the duo Anthony Edwards and Austin Reaves, helped the US team win the final.
The result of the match was only really arranged in the last few minutes of the fourth half, which was "closed" by the 3-point score of the defender who is currently wearing the Los Angeles Lakers shirt.
Anthony Edwards (17 points) and Austin Reaves (12 points) are also two rare prominent names for the US team in this match. On the other side of the front line, All-Star center Nikola Vucevic had 18 points and 16 rebounds.
After defeating championship candidate France in the group stage, Latvia continued their surprising journey in the FIBA World Cup 2023 with a second earthquake. This time the Baltic nation defeated defending champion Spain in Group L.
Spain was the better team in the first half of the match and they even caused their opponents problems with personal errors. But the hot hands of Latvia's players shot down the "bulls" in the third and fourth rounds, leading this team to the final victory 74-69.
After the series of matches on September 1, there are currently only 4 teams in the FIBA World Cup quarterfinals including the US, Lithuania, Germany and Slovenia. The remaining 4 places will be competed by the final series of the second round on September 3.
Being the dark horse team of the FIBA World Cup 2023, the Canadian team suddenly fell into a difficult position when they lost against Brazil in the second round.
The team led by All-NBA star Shal Gilgeous-Alexander scored at least 95 points in all three group stage games. But when they met the "test" called Brazil, they were locked down and scored only 65 points in 4 innings.
Before entering the final round, Canada seemed to still have the initiative with 10 points ahead. However, they only scored 13 points in the last 10 minutes of the match and had to admit defeat to Bruno Caboclo and his teammates.
This result puts Canada in a difficult position, and at the same time makes the last match of the second round extremely worth watching when they will face Spain and fight for the next ticket.
