OS Beijing 2008 Paralympics Olympics Pekin

After a bad start in Beijing, Argentina was determined to get back on track, and try to find a way out of the misery, in order to stay in Beijing. Winning is a must after their defeat next to Lithuania, and they managed to do it, after crashing Australia’s dreamers, and now beating Croatia, undefeated and considered a favorite medalist in the Beijing Olympic games.

Tango boys with white, striped with blue and yellow basketball jerseys kept lifting the score’s differentiation, reaching the 30 points, and then settled on 24, to win the game77 to 53, after a great effort from the Argentinean star Luis Scola, ending it with 12 points. Latin America’s boys averaged 59% from inside the arc, and 41% from the 3 points lane.

As for Croatia, the stats make it clear, what was behind their defeat, as the calculations showed a middling of 20% from long range and nearly reaching 30% overall.

Argentina meets the Asian champion in the next game, Iran which is desperate for a 1^st win in Beijing.

Sports betting sites plainly count in favor of the South Americans, but a blow is always possible.
