The Australians should prove their superiority here, I like that they are not only very good in attack, but can also offer good contact against softer and more overbearing teams like the Chinese, this contact is very necessary. Yesterday, the Chinese beat the New Zealanders with 3PTs, making difficult shots, especially when they were crucial. The Australian game is consistently good, played in a friendly manner and that's how they won 91-58.
Nigeria, like Cameroon, won both of their group stage matches and now these teams will play for first place. Nigeria has a decent NBA player - Okogie - who scored 33 points after a slow start in their first two games. Similarly, Cameroon also has an NBA player and both African teams play for fairly strong clubs in Europe. At the tournament in Angola, although the teams seem fairly evenly matched, the Nigerian team appears to be better.
In the second match against Tunisia, Nigeria was able to save and enjoyed attacking, although there were some missed shots in the first half, the overall pace was not bad. I do not consider Tunisia to be as overbearing of a team as Cameroon, so I believe that we can expect a very productive game. Cameroon seems to have an offensive-oriented team, but also has defensive problems. Nigeria has players who are a pleasure to watch run.
