It was a Saturday with sweet and sour taste for Facundo Campazzo. It is that the Cordovan playmaker enjoyed for the first time the Argentine national team’s 2-0 victory against Mexico at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, a match he saw together with Luka Doncic and several of his teammates in the Dallas locker room , but then immediately a noNew defeat for the Mavericksthe third in a row in the NBA, this time against the Toronto Raptors 105-100, as a guest.
The Argentine basketball player doubled his time on the field compared to the Texan team’s previous match, by play 4 minutesbut that period was not enough for him to show the best of his game and he could barely team up with an assist. His personal list was completed with a failed three-point attempt and a personal foul.
Another time, the big figure of the game for Dallas was Luka Doncicwho had 24 points (8-15 from the field) and also contributed 7 rebounds, 9 assists and two steals in just under 43 minutes of action.
However, the production of the talented Slovenian player was not enough to prevent the victory of the Raptors, in large part because he did not have enough support from the rest of the team.
In this context, Toronto made itself strong with a solid performance and the great offensive contributions of OG Anunoby and Fred VanVleet, authors of 26 points, plus the support of Chris Boucher, who scored 22.
With this accomplishment, Dallas ended up with a record of nine wins and nine losses and placed eleventh in the Western Conference. The next engagement of those directed by Jason Kidd will be this same Sunday from 22:00 Argentine time.
Facundo Campazzo and Argentina’s victory: “I saw it right up to the end in the locker room”
The Cordovan basketball player said that practically none of the alternatives of Argentina’s victory in Qatar 2022 against Mexico were lost. He said he saw the game with Doncic and told how the Slovenian lived it.
“I saw him right up to the end in the locker room. I brought the iPad and the TV was also on for the Argentina match. On the bus I saw him a bit, I followed him here, and happy because we could winCampazzo said.
Also, he said Dallas is a team made up of players who like soccer: “It’s a fairly international locker room. With Luka we were watching itwho cheered on Mexico, cheered on Argentina, to play a little joke on me”.
“There are many players who follow the World Cup: we have Australia, France, Germany. It’s quite diverse, so we watch the matches,” he commented.
Knowing the major sporting events after having participated in the World Cup and the Olympics, Campazzo described what a player feels before facing a debut like Argentina had at the World Cup, with a defeat against Saudi Arabia.
“The first games are always the hardest.yes, because you are nervous, anxious, a mix of emotions. You want me to start now. I obviously don’t know much about football, but from experience debuting in tournaments, it usually happens, ”he explained.
And he concluded: “Today was a final for us and it was lived as such. After the victory, the people were very happy.”
