• Opinion Objection day, but victory of Spain
  • Analysis: And when the triples do not enter Spain, what?

If you were to ask the United States, I would not know how to explain how it came out alive. In the absence of 9.2 seconds by the end of the extension, Turkey won by 91-92 and had two free and one possession to seal a historic victory. But ... Oh! Dogus Balbay failed the first and when he went to throw the second it seemed that the ball had gained a couple of kilos. It failed too . [narration and statistics]

The next to go through the torture colt was Cedi Osman . The first failed . If I could, I would have wanted to be anywhere else in the world. Who would send him to have jumped like a headless chicken and made the foul that had allowed States to force the extension in the last second. Now there was no one to lift that ball. And it failed too . Four free throws to iron in nine tenths of a second. Khris Middleton did not forgive his own and the United States came out alive from its first great suffocation in the World Cup. 93-92 .

Turkey could not have accumulated more merits to win a historic victory , the first defeat of the United States in a great tournament since the 2006 World Cup. It clouded the attack of the Americans and punished the post with Ersan Ilyasova (23 points, 14 rebounds) each Once Popovich tried to play without pivot. Korkmaz, Wilbekin or Mahmutoglu scored key baskets the final straight. He managed to manage five points ahead in extra time. But every time he had victory in his hand, he found a way to lose it.

He won it with an Ilyasova slap 12.3 seconds from the end (79-81), but Osman jumped uncontrollably at a triple Jayson Tatum and missed a shot within 0.1 seconds of the final. The forward of the Celtics failed one, but got two to force the tiebreaker. And he won it with that unsportsmanlike foul at the end of the extra time, but Osman and Balbay melted in the free throw line .
