Canada was playing its skin against Spain and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was once again there to pull the nation from the far north to the quarter-finals. Throwback to the new XXL performance of the OKC jewel.
1 and 1 make 2, the water is wet and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is still unplayable in this 2023 World Cup. In the extension of his big NBA season with the Thunder, SGA totals all the FIBA defenses. It is the great Spain which this time had to bow before the arabesques of the native of Toronto. 30 points, 7 assists, 4 rebounds, 3 steals, 7/12 in shooting and a very clean 14/16 on the throw line, several of which are essential at the very end of the game.
The money time precisely, let’s talk about it. While Spain led by 12 points, Canada turned the situation around thanks mainly to two men. A Dillon Brooks on fire and above all a Shai Gilgeous-Alexander with ice in his veins. Very hard baskets to put, only good decisions, a big impact in defense too. It is he in particular who steals the ball just after giving the advantage to his team in the last minute. It was already him who had cleverly shifted Dillon Brooks to 3-pointers to equalize. Even in the face of the stress of elimination, he never gave a sign of nervousness on the throwing line to eliminate the reigning World and European Champion, sorry. A very tall Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.
