South American basketball power
Venezuela is one of the few countries in South America that in addition to football, and attaches great importance to basketball. It has long had a very good basketball background. It has participated in the 1992 Barcelona Olympics and the 2016 Rio Olympics. It held the Americas qualifiers for the London Olympics in 2012, and also held the US Championships in 2013. Like football, domestic fans are also passionate about basketball. It is precisely because of the support of fans that Venezuela is a team that cannot be ignored in the major basketball competitions held by the FIBA (Olympic Games, World Cup, America's Cup, Pan American Games).

In the current Venezuelan men's basketball team, the Vargas brothers can be regarded as the core of the team. They averaged 22 points and 7.6 assists per game, and their attack power was amazing under the rules of the FIBA. It is also worth mentioning that Kobe's cousin John Cox is also an important offensive firepower point for the team. Cox, who shot accurately, seemed to have Mamba's blood flowing, and he was extremely tenacious in his courage to fight on the court. How to limit Venezuela's attack power is a question that the head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team needs to think carefully. (Fucai Youdao)
