The Brazilian men's basketball team lost for the first time in the 2018 World Cup qualifiers. At the Papá Carillo Gymnasium in Caracas, the team led by the coach Croatian Aleksandar Petrovic, was defeated by Venezuela 56, and saw his rival take the lead in Group B.
The owners began to take a big advantage in the bottle with Echenique and Colmenares imposing in front Anderson Varejão and Lucas Dias. Brazil started a lot in the attack and Venezuela opened 11-2, with a lot of haste and support from the 3,000 fans who filled the gym.
The entries of Yago, Jhonatan Luz and, especially, Scott Machado – who made his debut in the Brazilian team – accelerated the game and strengthened the mark. The difference, which reached 10 points, fell to four, forcing Venezuelan coach Fernando Duro to ask for time. The first quarter ended 17-13 for Venezuela.
When it seemed that Brazil would enter the game, the attack errors and the fragile defense only worsened the situation. Dominated in the bottle and with the ball stubborn not to fall, Brazil saw Venezuela take the lead and finish the second quarter with a lead of 14 points (38 to 24).
Aleksandar Petrovic worried since his takeover was with the defense because the Brazilian attack, historically, has always worked. But he was naughty on Friday. The achievement was far below reasonable. In both balls, Brazil hit 18 of 39 attempts and in the three, 5 of 25. Even in free throws, he sinned: only five shots out of 12.
The good news was due to Scott's debut Machado, who helped in scoring and participated well in offensive actions. The leader scored 12 points, gave three badists and took two rebounds. Anderson Varejão was Brazil's top scorer with 16 points and five rebounds. Leo Meindl also did well, especially in the second leg, finishing the game with 14 points and 10 points.
Scott Machado lamented the defeat but said that he was happy with the opportunity to wear the Brazilian jersey. "I can still improve communication with the team, but it was an honor for me, my first game, to be able to help, it was not the result we wanted, but it was a good thing. was good, we can improve a lot.
