In the encounter in spite of being the beginning was being very physical from the first minutes, Venezuela knew to Argentina as the Argentines knew to Venezuela, the first laps of game was an exchange of points, but Venezuela failed offensives in execution that were not habitual and the squad albiceleste took advantage of the errors of the rival and capitalized them, finishes the 1st period winning Argentina by 5 digits.

In the second quarter Venezuela lowered its percentage of field shots failing even many little complicated shots, which allowed Argentina to maintain the advantage, the team albiceleste did not fail and that was reflected in the score, finishes the first half 38 - 25

Second Half

Venezuela fell in the game of Argentina and the skill of the profession that applied in the encounter, the player who reacted and drove the offensive of Venezuela was Michael Carrera who had a streak of scoring in this quarter, Argentina won the partial of the period by 3 points and maintained the advantage in the encounter.

In the last quarter Venezuela was looking to discount but Argentina was well in defense, aspect in which he had worked since the beginning of the game, Venezuela made some steals and concrete, even some shots from the perimeter effective, although Argentina responded and maintained the advantage, finishes the game 87 - 67 Argentina winning against Venezuela.

Details and Personal Analysis

Although Venezuela did not have a bad beginning and the initial minutes with the physical game, allowed that there was balance in the marker, the certain deconcentration of Venezuela caused that they failed and did not have good selections of shot, in addition the defense of Argentina towards that Venezuela did not let flow its offensive but with everything and those details the initial period would only end with 5 points of advantage for Argentina.

In this second quarter Venezuela accentuated its deconcentration, to my understanding this was the period that defined the game in the most accentuated way, I think that Venezuela did not face this lapse of the game with its characteristic identity and fell absolutely in the game of Argentina, which were right in their offensive and did not waste the opportunities, Venezuela if I miss many shots, in addition many of the key players like Nestor Colmenares, Gregory Vargas, Guillent or Lewis, were not having a good encounter and that was taking its toll on Venezuela, in the first half of the game Argentina went to the break with an advantage of 13 points over the squad vinotinto.

Venezuela had margin of improvement for this second half, but the collective in Venezuela was not playing fluidly cost them the offensive, I even think that followed the deconcentration because it was not that Argentina defended badly but neither was so intense the defensive aspect, the one that arose to support the stagnant offensive of Venezuela was Michael Carrera who with a lot of energy faced the offensive of Venezuela and discounted so that the Argentines did not continue moving away in the scoreboard, Argentina would win the partial of the quarter by 3 points of advantage and continued leading the encounter.

The situation of the last period was basically the same, although some other players of the bank tried to discount with shots from the perimeter as Bethelmy, Gregory Vargas and Michael Carrera, Venezuela discounted but automatically Argentina had answer in a counteroffensive, time passed and with the certain advantage, decreased the chances that Venezuela equated the game, ends the encounter with the victory of Argentina over Venezuela, which I consider was not one of the best games of the vinotinto squad and that lack of deconcentration reflected this adverse result.
