Brazil Team News
During the preparations for this qualifying tournament, Brazil played three matches against three strong European national teams. In the first match, they defeated Poland, then lost to Croatia in the second match. A few days ago, they played against Slovenia and recorded another loss.
The Brazilian Basketball Federation decided to make the most of their favorable draw in these qualifiers. They appointed the experienced Aleksandar Petrovic as the head coach, who is almost the ideal candidate for this type of tournament, where it is necessary to motivate the team and achieve some results in a short period. Additionally, Aleksandar Petrovic knows the Brazilian players very well, as he has previously been the coach of this team. What is extremely important for Brazil is that Aco Petrovic obviously knows how to get the best out of Bruno Caboclo, who played the best basketball of his career under him and was the most efficient player for his team in all three preparation matches. A big question is whether Yago dos Santos will be ready for this tournament, as Brazil’s performance will largely depend on it. After missing the entire season, Raul Neto has returned to the national team and will try to use his skills to ease the burden on the experienced Marcelinho Huertas. Certainly, more is expected from Georginio de Paula, who had a quite solid season with Ulm.
Brazil’s great advantage in this match is on the bench, as Aleksandar Petrovic knows the psychology of the Montenegrin players perfectly well and is also very familiar with their playing qualities and weaknesses. If Yago dos Santos is ready, Brazil should be the favorite in this match.
Montenegro Team News
Montenegro played two matches during the preparation period as part of the Acropolis Cup in Athens. After suffering a convincing defeat against Greece in the first match, they defeated Bahamas, which will also participate in the Olympic qualifiers, in the second match.
Following their good performances in the last FIBA World Cup, Montenegro earned the opportunity to participate in the qualifying tournament. It is a real pity that they will not be at full strength, as this tournament seems to offer the best chance for an upset. It is clear that practically everything in Montenegro’s game will depend on the duo of Kendrick Perry and Nikola Vucevic. Perry had an outstanding season with Unicaja, where he was one of the most important players. In the two matches played, they showed that they will be the team’s mainstay. What they need to improve in their game if they want to be serious contenders for a spot in the Olympics is their start to the match. In both preparation matches, the team started very poorly. Against Greece, they were unable to reduce a large deficit, but in the match against the Bahamas, they showed they were capable of doing so, especially when their two best players received support from their teammates.
It is clear that the winner of the match will be decided in the head-to-head duels of the best players. If Perry and Vucevic can outperform their main competitors, Montenegro will be very close to victory. Marko Simonovic also showed in the match against the Bahamas that he can be a very important factor.
