Four games and one, that of Japan, without great value for the security that it supposed to know that the host was not an obstacle for the rest in the three of the group. The defeat against Slovenia made the team’s third game a life or death match against the Americans. Today we only have to comment on the game, there will be time to expand the objective.
In what is strictly basketball the favorites have conditioned the competition. They are presented without a single inside reference player, the whole table is made up of deuces and threes, who play inside-outside, to finally shoot triples. First consequence, the scoreboard is an accordion, if they fail five in a row it seems that you have options; But if they put them in, as it often happens, the feeling of beating gets on your face.
After reading the score of the Scariolo confrontation, I don’t know if with success, or even without another possibility, he accepts the stake and plays the same thing. Outside pivots, the Gasols too big and heavy. Only Willy for that of youth and impudence, an opportunity well taken advantage of that will bring him revenues in the future of the national team.
Everything is already crazy, a change of blows between half a dozen second-level NBA stars (except Durant, his first level is evident) and two Spanish players who know well what that game is like. Ricky leads the way, plays a soliloquy, staring blankly, “I sleep on pikolin with me plim.” This is how the 27 minutes that he was on the field were played. As the game of mouse and cat prevailed, it was not so bad, Scariolo looked for a partner to the gamer. Sergio Rodríguez jumped onto the dance floor and said: «come on, if this is a film for me». That was the whole game, between the two of them 60% of the shots of the whole team were shot and they were so fresh. Perhaps it is remarkable that on his own account and success Willy Hernangómez presents double figures of 10 points and 10 rebounds. All the others missing.
It has not been, far from it, the best way to say goodbye to this generation. His style has always been so coral, so fierce and so volcanic, that it leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Perhaps the blame of everything has been the Americans for the team they have brought. The Olympiad has to give us more opportunities to comment on things.
