In Group H, Latvia comfortably clinched a victory against the Cedars of Lebanon while Canada dominated France with a substantial 30-point lead.
By enjoying an insolent success through their three-point shots and selfless ball movement, hitting an impressive 18 of 35 shots from beyond the arc, the FIBA World Cup newcomers extended their lead to secure a strong opening win ahead of their upcoming match against Les Bleus this Sunday.Coach Jad el-Hajj opted for a traditional starting five consisting of Ali Mezher, Sergio Darwich, Wael Arakji, Omari Spellman and Ali Haidar.
Wael Arakji, who had been named the Asian Cup’s Most Valuable Player, struggled to free himself from Latvia’s strong defense and only managed to score 14 points.The former NBA player put up 18 points, but unfortunately most of his scoring occurred too late, as the outcome of the game was already decided. His performance was far from what was expected from him.
For the French, New York Knicks’ Evan Fournier scored 21 points, 19 of which came in the first half, but his efforts weren’t enough to save France from a disappointing first loss.After a closely contested first half, during which the Canadians held a three-point lead with a score of 43-40, they extended their lead with a 25-8 third quarter after keeping Fournier scoreless, missing all four of his attempted shots.
