After defeating Spain following a sublime match, Latvia offered Brazil following an intense match that changed during the third quarter. This success secures them a place in the quarter-finals of the 2023 World Cup, a huge feat that very few people would have bet on ten days ago.
They are endearing, these valiant Latvians. It felt like repeating themselves regarding this team, but once more today they were able to dip into their reserves to overthrow Brazil following a game that fell apart in the second half. Intense start to the game, with rather light defenses that allow a lot of shots. The consequence ? Already 40 points on both sides in the middle of the second quarter. One name: Andrejs Grazulis. The boy is inhabited, he lights up like a dingo and behind him is Davis Bertans who is taking advantage of the spaces created by his colleague to send some long-range praline.

However, Brazil does not give up. Lucas Dias and Bruno Caboclo are determined to scrape their qualification and do a lot of damage to the Latvian defense. At halftime, two small points separate the two formations. What will cause a turning point in the match? Bruno Caboclo, who will commit three faults in the space of a few seconds and completely crash the rhythm of his team. From there, Latvia began to send points following points without any challenge under the basket. The gap is widened, Brazil is very quickly in agony. The game will end with a recital by Andrejs Grazulis, the real star of this game.

Latvia qualified for the final stage, the final table. In the quarter-finals, it will certainly find Slovenia or Germany. What a journey, what a team. We can only be excited to see them rally Manila to defend their steak like starving people. Regardless of the opponent, he is warned: taking this group lightly is impossible. For Brazil, the adventure ends following a great World Cup, marked by a surprising and prestigious victory once morest Canada. Well done gentlemen, and thank you.
