2019 FIBA World Cup Semifinals and Finals Game Updates Thread

[insidehoops]

I would call this a discussion thread but 95% of NBA fans probably don't have the cable channels or streaming services to actually watch these games, so...

I'll just post some game updates during the semifinals and Finals.

KEY LINK: 2019 FIBA WORLD CUP (http://www.insidehoops.com/fiba-world-cup-basketball.shtml) INFO PAGE

In this first semifinal game, it's Australia 50, Spain 42, late third quarter.

Patty Mills has 17 for Australia.

Marc Gasol 11 for Spain.

No other players in double figures yet.

And the other semifinal game, later today, is Argentina vs France.

[insidehoops]

Late 3Q, Ricky Rubio in this game is 3/7 two-pointers, 1/6 three-pointers.

Australia up 52-47, late 3Q.

[insidehoops]

Rubio with 15 points and 5 assists now.

But for Australia, Patty Mills with 18, and Nic Kay with 14.

Delly with his go-to move: diving for a loose ball. And he has a game-high 7 assists.

Australia up six, early 4th Q.

[insidehoops]

Would describe this game as "gritty" by international/World Cup standards.

[insidehoops]

Australia up 65-58 with 5:07 left.

[insidehoops]

Spain was in trouble, but a Pau Ribas three (assist from Marc Gasol) followed by a layup by Sergio Llull (also with assist from Marc G) pulled Spain to within two, with 3:44 left in game.

[insidehoops]

Stephon Marbury in the crowd at this game.

And Manu Ginobili.

And Kobe Bryant.

And Adam Silver.

[insidehoops]

Delly firing a tough pass to Aron Baynes that results in turnover. AUS up five with 2:20 left.

Rubio then penetrates for a layup. AUS only up three, 2 mins left.

Rubio then draws a charge on Baynes, with under 2 mins left.

[insidehoops]

Ricky Rubio with a layup, then draws a charge, then gets an assist, then draws a foul. Australia up 1 on Spain with 1:11 left. #FIBAWC

[insidehoops]

Marc Gasol at the line. Two free throws made. Spain up 1, 8.7 seconds left!

[insidehoops]

Patty Mills drives into multiple defenders, twisting and turning, draws a foul that I need to see a replay of because that was close...

[bergs14]

Ricky Rubio is painful to watch

[insidehoops]

Patty Mills hit one of two free throws.

Rubio then somehow ALMOST HIT FROM HALFCOURT at the buzzer.

But game goes OVERTIME, tied at 71.

[insidehoops]

Marc Gasol with big three early in OT.

But then Patty Mills answers.

Spain up 2 at 3:20 in OT.

Then Nic Kay scores for Australia, tying game in OT at 3:10.

[insidehoops]

Marc Gasol 27 points now

[insidehoops]

Another foul drawn by Patty Mills that I'm not positive was a foul.

Free throws made.

Australia up two on Spain with 14.2 seconds left in OT.

[insidehoops]

Two huge free throws by Marc Gasol. He has 29 points now. DOMINANT today.

Spain vs Australia semifinals game goes DOUBLE OT.

[insidehoops]

Marc Gasol 31 points

Patty Mills 29

Spain HOT in the second overtime, now up 90-82 with 2:06 left in 2OT.

Sergio Llull with several threes in this second overtime.

[insidehoops]

Australia stands around a bit too much on offense. Some turnovers could have been avoided with more movement.

[bergs14]

Rubio throws his head back on every ****ing play

[insidehoops]

SPAIN wins, beats Australia 95-88 in double overtime, advances to FIBA World Cup Finals.

In the win for Spain:

Marc Gasol 33 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists.

Ricky Rubio 19 points, 7 rebounds, 12 assists.

If Ben Simmons played Australia would have won by 20+.

Spain had noone else to play.









Oh and Embiid > Jokic and Gobert.

Better.

If Ben Simmons played Australia would have won by 20+.

[Team_Chemistry]

Why is not Campazzo in the NBA? Is one of the best players in the world in that position.

[insidehoops]

Scola 18/11

And Scola is 39.5 years old

[chains5000]

Scola and Campazzo are monsters :bowdown:

Why is not Campazzo in the NBA? Is one of the best players in the world in that position.
Mainly because of his height, I guess.

[insidehoops]

Mid 4Q

France's Frank Ntilikina now 6 of 9 in limited minutes.

[kNIOKAS]

Scola tearin it down. Got him team into finals like that.

[LeCola]

Scola and Campazzo are monsters :bowdown:

Why is not Campazzo in the NBA? Is one of the best players in the world in that position.

He seems that good because of "your user name" .

He is just one of the important players of Real Madrid. However, he never carried his team like Doncic, De Colo or Bogdan Bogdanovic did in EL.

[insidehoops]

In Spain they don

[chains5000]

Campazzo's career has gone step by step, from small teams to a big one, from a secondary player to a leader, the NBA is still a posibility.

[ErhnamDjinn]

If a 98324 year old Scola dominates Gobert, I'm gonna laugh
Should bet on the lottery next hahaha
