The final whistle sounded, waiting for this championship in 2016! Brazilian Men s Basketball Team beat Argentina 55-47, and the Copa America finally fulfilled its dream

As soon as the final whistle at the Managua Stadium in Nicaragua fell, Yago - Santos fell to his knees on the floor - sweat soaked the jersey, and his teammates rushed up and grabbed his jersey, grabbing several hands on the team logo. This kid is too top of the game. He scored 14 points and gave 5 assists. The key three-pointers were not wrong. Looking at the scoreboard 55-47, the Brazilian men's basketball team finally waited for the Copa America championship 16 years later! This is the fifth trophy in their team's history, and it also completely fought back the tone of losing to Argentina in the 2022 final. The South American derby between the two teams has never been relaxed since the jump. Just 1 minute and 38 seconds into the first quarter, Argentina's Caffaro received the baseline pass and rushed to the basket, making a layup and free throw of 2+1. Just as he was about to raise his hand and shout twice, Brazil's Capoclo jumped up and gave a big hat with a nail-board hat - this ball hit basically set the whole game's adjustment. Brazil's defense was as if it was welded, pushing Argentina's shooting percentage to 29.8%, making even worse three-pointers, making 4 of 27 shots. Capoclo is also good enough. Five of the 7 rebounds in the game were defensive rebounds, and they also took one steal and blocked one attack.

When we arrived in the second quarter, the rhythm suddenly slowed down and became a real "iron-smash competition". In the first 4 minutes and 27 seconds, the two teams combined with Capoclo scored 1 point, and the basket was almost smashed. At this time, Santos stood up, made two three-pointers in a row, and scored 8 points in a single quarter, helping Brazil widen the score to 31-24. The stands were also lively, with several old fans with white hair holding old photos of Brazil winning the 2009 championship - that was the last time this team tasted the championship.

Argentina is the defending champion, and finally woke up in the third quarter. Caffaro scored 4 points in a single quarter, and Kobaran also fought hard to catch up with the score difference to only 6 points left. But Brazil's joint defense was too close, allowing Argentina to score 12 points in the whole quarter. In the end, Santos still made a three-pointer with a whistle and nailed the score to 42-36. The final quarter was even more amazing. Argentina scored a point in the first 4 minutes. Brazil took the opportunity to climax 8-0. Vitor Benite threw another three-pointer, and the outcome was basically decided. The two teams only scored 102 points in the entire game, which ranked second lowest in history in the Copa America final. After the game, the Brazilian coach held the trophy and rubbed his fingers against the edge of the trophy and sighed, "I lost 2 points in 2022. We have been practicing every day in the past three years just to make up for that breath." Santos didn't hide it, and said, "I watch the video of that year's final after training. Every defensive round today, I feel like I am making up for the loss of that year." The 25-year-old defender is also very stable. He made 5 of 15 shots in the game and did not make a mistake. He is definitely the key gentleman.

It's a pity for Argentina. Caffaro scored 11 points and 5 rebounds, but he couldn't stand the team's three-point shooting, making 4 of 27 shots, and his shooting percentage just exceeded 14%. He had no choice but to turn the tables. In addition to Santos, Capoclo also handed over 11 points and 7 rebounds, and 37-year-old veteran Gilheim Pereira did not paddle and scored 9 points. Even after two hours of the final game, there were fans outside the gymnasium singing the national anthem at the top of their voices. 16 years of waiting were finally in vain.

The rankings of this Copa America are also set: Brazil takes gold, Argentina silver, and the United States takes bronze. By looking through technical statistics, you can tell how ruthless the Brazilian team is in this game, and they average 62.3 points per game. What does "win the championship when defending" mean? This is the most realistic example, the old man is not bad at all.
