With 55 seconds left on the clock, Vervoort showed his class, with a great shot he guided the Belgian Lions from a 19-20 deficit to a 21-20 victory. Matches in 3×3 basketball end automatically after a team reaches 21 points or 10 minutes of playing time has expired.
Latvia is one of the contenders for a medal at these Olympic Games, so the victory of the 3×3 Belgian Lions can immediately be seen as a stunt.
The Belgian basketball players will soon be back in action, taking on host country Japan. After that, there are still 5 matches on the program in the group. The top 2 countries will qualify directly for the semi-finals. The next 4 are in the quarterfinals.
