The game day on September 3 was fierce, and many games were full of suspense, among which the performance of NBA players attracted much attention. With their outstanding personal abilities, they played a key role in the victory and loss trend of their respective teams. In the first Belgium-Israel game, Israel's Avdia played a key role. As an NBA player, Avdia played for the Trail Blazers this season, and his all-round skills were fully demonstrated in this game. At the beginning of the first quarter, Avdia led the team to a 8-2 start. Although Belgium failed to make a decent counterattack, Israel blossomed in multiple points in the second quarter and expanded its lead to more than 20 points, Belgium did not give up, and it was only 15 points away from chasing at halftime.

In the highly-watched match between Slovenia and Iceland, Slovenian's Doncic was undoubtedly the focus of the game. Doncic, the NBA superstar, plays for the Lakers this season.
