MADRID Laremy Tunsil Youth Jersey , Aug. 31 (Xinhua) -- FIBA Basketball World Cup hosts Spain enjoyed their second easy win in just 24 hours as Juan Antonio Orenga's side cruised to an expected easy win against Egypt to leave them as comfortable leaders of Group A.
The Spanish were never in trouble against the runners-up in the African Championship and stormed home on a night when the good news was the return to action of forwards, Serge Ibaka and Felipe Reyes, who had both missed Saturday's opening day win over Iran through injury.
Ibaka ended as Spain's MVP on the night with 18 points and an efficiency rating of 23 on a night when the only question to be raised was a poor percentage of just 28 percent on three point throws.
France recovered from their defeat to Brazil on Saturday to claim a nail-biting 74-73 victory against an always competitive Serbia in the same group.
The French are without key players such as Tony Parker in Spain, but in their absence Joffrey Lauvergne produced a match-winning display as he scored 19 points to help the French overturn a two point deficit in a nerve-wracking last 10 minutes.
Brazil meanwhile followed on from Saturday's win by defeating Iran 79-50. The Brazilians led by 16 points at the end of the second quarter after restricting Iran to just 6 points in that period and were able to rotate their squad ahead of Monday's big game against Spain Raekwon McMillan Youth Jersey , which should decide the group winners.
The USA continued what looks as if it could be a triumphant procession towards the final with a 98-77 win over Turket which was not as straightforward as could first appear.
The repeat of the 2010 final saw the Turks stand up and be counted in the first half and they led 40-35 after the second quarter before the Americans shook off some cobwebs and took control of the game, scoring 63 points in the last 20 minutes.
The question is whether the performance will make the USA players realize that they have to work hard against top European sides or face an upset and if the message sinks in, it could make them even tougher to surprise in the future.
Finland sent their travelling fans into ecstasy and produced the first big shock of the competition when they produced a stunning performance to defeat a well-fancied Ukraine 81-76 to give themselves a massive chance of qualifying from Group C.
Around 7,000 delighted fans cheered Finland from the first minute to the last as they bounced back from the 114-55 opening day defeat to the USA in fine style with 23 points from Shaun Huff making a national hero.
In the same group Kenny Stills Youth Jersey , Francisco Garcia led the Dominican Republic to a great final quarter to beat New Zealand. There was just one point between the two teams at the end of the 3rd quarter, but the Dominican defense got on top in the last 10, restricting the 'Tall Blacks' to just 13 points, while netting 25 themselves to assure a 76-63 victory as Garcia controlled the net with 29 points and 6 rebounds.
A magnificent performance by Luis Scola Ryan Tannehill Youth Jersey , who scored 30 points and collected 9 defensive rebounds, was not enough to save Argentina from a 90-85 defeat to a powerful Croatia in Group B, in Seville. on Sunday.
Croatia produced a solid all-round team performance and were more effective in their play outside of the zone to confirm their status as favorites to win the group with Bogdan Bogdanovich contributing 16 points, while showing strength of his own inside the 'D' with seven rebounds.
Senegal overcame a slow first quarter when they fell 29-20 down to fight back and inflict a second defeat on Puerto Rico 82-75 and with the Philippines and Croatia yet to face Cameron Wake Youth Jersey , Puerto Rico are now staring at a possible early exit from the tournament.
In group D, Australia enjoyed a comfortable 89-55 victory over South Korea. Jon Ingles was the standout man for the 'Aussies', while Kim Sunhyung was again South Korea's best player, although his side look as if they are destined to finish bottom of their group.
Slovenia gave another solid display to follow Saturday's win over the 'Aussies' with an 89-68 win over Mexico. Zoran Dragic once again showed why he is the main man for the Slovenians as he scored 22 points to end with an efficiency rating of 30.
Lithuania also kept up their form with a 75-62 win against Angola.

Known by her English name Chris Lee in the West Minkah Fitzpatrick Youth Jersey , Li has appeared twice on the Asian cover of Time Magazine since winning the televised singing competition Super Girl in 2005, when she got more than 3 million votes from around the country.

"I listened to the songs in the new album over and over again. I try to make sure everything in the album expresses myself properly," she says.

She invited veteran songwriter-producer Zhang Yadong to collaborate on the album. Though the two have been working together since Li's 2006 debut album The Queen and the Dreams, Li says their cooperation this time is fresh.
