Another Spain. The selection shook the anguish he had charged in the frightful premiere against Georgia. Scariolo’s team was transformed to show, defeat Bosnia, swell to triples (15, his record matched in a Eurobasket), distribute assists (25) and hunt a good bag of points before measuring Chipre (this Sunday, 17.15, 1). Spain was released under the leadership of Santi Aldama (19 points, four triples, five rebounds), an essential exorcism.
Spain repeated the trembling beginning suffered against Georgia. Four triples followed by Aldama, Pradilla (headline instead of Willy), Parra and Yusta reflected both the jam with the ball and the accumulated nerves. The first Spanish basket at stake, an exterior bingo of Aldama, took 3m 38s to get on the scoreboard. The Descorche sprawed the selection and especially Aldama, the man indicated as that necessary reference. . The Hernangómez brothers chopped inside and Brizuela and Saint-Supéry on the outside. The second unit of Spain was better than that of Bosnia and another triple of the escort in the last tenth closed the first quarter (24-16).
More triple, from Arostegui and Brizuela, redoubled the Spanish confidence in the shot. The base was in any case in a defense of tight teeth. (What a crash of trains), a good defensive pit, its pending duties. Spain had collected a good rent and Scariolo put a team with four debutants in a big appointment: from Larrea, Puerto, Yusta and Sima, accompanied by Aldama. The pivot of the Grizzlies Lucía doll to shoot at a distance and springs to crush. The formula of the meritors plus the NBA or Juancho allowed to distribute loads and reach rest with a good mattress: 44-30.
The balls that against Georgia bounced in the ring crossed the network against Bosnia. , Parra and Brizuela chained four triples. A matter of technique and collectively manufacturing a good position, yes, but also trustworthy. The defense of the board granted the selection that dose of self -esteem that he missed in the debut. And Saint-Supéry exhibited youth impudence to accelerate towards the hoop and connect with Willy. The good Spanish task in a very controlled duel (72-47).
After five losses in the preparation phase, and the slap against Georgia that lit the alarms, finally a Spain without anguish could enjoy playing basketball. Bosnia’s candidity helped to appear a smile and that the last minutes served to mature associations, raise the competitive ribbon and finish cleaning the mind. If the simplest obstacle jumps this Sunday, Cyprus, the National Team will wait for Italy (Tuesday) and Greece (Thursday) to measure where it is in this Eurobasket.
