MANAMA (Bahrain) - After a brilliant run in Abu Dhabi ended in disappointment, Miami (USA) have a golden opportunity to rebound quickly at the FIBA 3x3 Manama 2024 on November 1-2.
Led by scoring machine James Parrott, who had the shooter's touch in Abu Dhabi, Miami have top billing and face dangerous Chinese teams Hangzhou (CHN) and Chongming (CHN), who boast powerful duo Cameron Forte and Karlis Lasmanis.
No.2 seed Paris (FRA) enter red-hot after taking out the FIBA 3x3 Taipei Challenger, where speedy Hugo Suhard couldn't miss in an MVP performance.
The Frenchmen will face desperate Ulaanbaatar MMC Energy (MGL), who still haven't tasted success on this season's World Tour.
Podgorica Kodio (MNE) are always a dark horse and ensure Pool B will be a three-team race.
N.3 seed Riffa (BRN) will have the support of the locals as they look to continue their momentum built up in recent months.
Their Pool C opponents Lausanne (SUI) have tailed off as the season has worn on, but you just know they will give it everything to end this alarming form slump.
Barcelona (ESP) are a rising force and are more than capable of causing some damage in the group.
Pool D will be highlighted by a blockbuster between Raudondvaris Hoptrans (LTU) and Liman (SRB), who unusually have not claimed a dub on the World Tour.
The third team in the group will emerge from the QD featuring Sagamihara Enndaruma (JPN), Al Wakrah (QAT) and Orlando (USA).
