Brazil players to watch
We have to pay attention to these three players, they are very important for the team and Sunday's victory depends on them.

He will be very important defensively and we have to keep an eye on him.
Brazil in the tournament
Just like Argentina, Brazil has had an incredible tournament. Brazil started in Group A and was the first place in the group. In the quarterfinals they beat the Dominican Republic 80-68, in the semifinals they managed to defeat Canada and thus advanced to the grand final. So far they have had a good tournament and their goal is to win. Their last game was against Canada, where Brazil won 86-76 and that way they got their ticket to the final. They arrive as favorites to win the game because of the good team they have and the good time they are going through. They also have an advantage playing at home and that all Brazilians can support them.
Argentina players to watch
NBA player Facundo Campazzo (#7), the Argentine plays for the NBA's Denver Nuggets. He has averaged 12.2 points, 2.6 rebounds and 9 assists, making him the team's top assister. He is the most important player in Argentina and is responsible for leading the team to the final of the tournament. Point guard Nicolás Laprovittola (#8), plays for FC Barcelona and is the team's second highest scorer in the tournament. He is averaging 16.8 points, 3.8 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game.

He is the tournament's leading scorer and the team's leading rebounder after averaging 21.4 points, 5.6 rebounds and 1.6 assists. The three players are considered key to Argentina's offensive attack and the responsibility of the team falls on them.
Argentina in the tournament
The Argentine team played in group B with Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic and the US Virgin Islands. He advanced to the next phase after being the leader of his group, in the quarterfinals he beat Venezuela, he got his ticket to the final by beating the United States in the semifinals and it is expected that tomorrow he can be the champion of the tournament. Their last game resulted in a victory against the United States, Argentina's national basketball team won 82 to 73 points and thus Argentina advanced to the grand final.
