Argentina v Serbia Live
Still undefeated at the 2010 FIBA World Championship, Luis Scola and company are hoping to extend their winning streak in the last game of Group A. Thus, Argentina will take on Nenad Krstic and the Serbian national team in Kayseri on Thursday at 4 p.m. GMT.
After winning the 2009 FIB Eurobasket, the young Serbian team suddenly finds itself facing a considerable amount of pressure to perform well at this year's World Championship. Even though the team around Nenad Krstic from the Oklahoma City Thunder secured a 94-44 win versus Angola and a 112-69 blow-out victory over Jordan, they subsequently fell 92-91 to a German team without its NBA stars Dirk Nowitzki and Chris Kaman. That said, it should be noted that center Nenad Krstic and guard Milos Teodosic were both sidelined by a suspension and will be back on the court versus Argentina on Thursday.
Likewise, Argentina also experienced some problems in the first few games but still managed to win all of them. More precisely, the team around NBA players Luis Scola and Carlos Delfino won a contested game versus Germany 78-74 before beating Australia in the last seconds of regulation to clinch a 74-72 win. It should be noted that Argentina is playing at the 2010 FIBA World Championship without Manu Ginobili from the San Antonio Spurs and Andres Nocioni from the Philadelphia 76ers. In their absence, Luis Scola from the Houston Rockets stepped up and led the team with 27.7 points and 7.0 rebounds per contest. Likewise, Carlos Delfino from the Milwaukee Bucks provided the squad of coach Sergio Hernandez with more scoring, putting up no less than 18.7 points, 6.3 boards and 3.3 assists in 33 minutes per game. As far as their matchup with Serbia is concerned, both teams might find themselves on a fairly level playing field on Thursday afternoon. Where as Argentina might have more individual talent in their starting five, the Serbian team is much deeper and has no trouble getting a spark off their bench.
