FIBA defined this Sunday how the quarterfinals of the men's basketball tournament will be played at the Tokyo Olympics.

And the Argentine team led by Luis Scola and Facundo Campazzo will meet the always complicated Australia for a place in the semifinals.

If they win, the team led by Sergio Hernández, which made it into the top eight after beating Japan in the last match of the group stage, will have to contend with the winner of the stellar duel between Spain and the United States.

Yes, the world champion and the NBA will eliminate each other. 

The other crosses, on the opposite side of the key, will have Luka Doncic's powerful Slovenia against Germany and the confrontation between France and Italy, where the Gauls, executioners of the Dream Team, start as favorites.
