Lithuania vs Montenegro. FIBA World Championship group stage match
Lithuania and Montenegro will play the match on August 29 as part of the final round of the World Cup 23 preliminary stage. It will take place at the site of the Mall of Asia Arena (Pasay).
In the official FIBA ranking, the national team before the start of the 23 World Cup took eighth place, and this is a very worthy result. In general, it must be said that the Lithuanians have always been great at playing basketball, nothing has changed in this regard even now.
In the first round of the current competition, the Baltics played with Egypt. They won the match with a crushing score of 93:67, taking three quarters of the match. Valanciunas was the best in that game. He scored a double-double of 15 points and ten rebounds. Normantas shipped 18 points into the opponent's ring. Benzius - ten. In principle, the Lithuanians decided on the leaders on the floor due to the absence of their main star (Sabonis) at the tournament. Next, the team has a meeting with Mexico on August 27.
