Yes, no matter what happens, you've made history!!! It is our super Spanish A-team!!! We have no longer Gasol brothers, Felipe Reyes, Llull, Calderón, Ricky Rubio... either because they are retired or because they are injured.
It is now the time for our old captain Rodolfo (Rudy) Fernández Hernangómez bros, Lorenzo Brown, Abel Parra, Jaime Fernández, Alberto Díaz, Darío Brizuela, Usman Garuba, Xabi López-Arostegui, Jaime Pradilla, Sebas Saiz... and many others who have played in the previous matches. A bunch of excellent workers who have managed to become a real family, an A-team, probably thanks to the great coach Sergio Scariolo. YOU'VE MADE HISTORY NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS TONIGHT AGAINST FRANCE!!!
They are an example to follow for our students and our country.
However, this is not a simple lucky strike. We have seen all along the summer that younger Spanish national teams both women and men have either won finals or reached them, so it is a matter of hard good work. Congratulations to all of them!!
And we did it, we made history and won the final!!!

US Open - Carlos Alcáraz: Top 10 points | US Open 2022
When I started to watch Spain in the Eurobasket I only recognised Rudy Fernández, all of the other players were new to me. I didn't have any high spectatives with the team but I was very surprised because they started to won all the matches, even without Sergio Llull. When they arrived the final I was very nervous and when the referees made a mistake I was angry because you can't pass that type of mistakes in a final. But Spain was playing very well , above all in the fourth quarter. When the match ended I jump of emotion when I saw that Spain won the match.

Spain last weekend faced France in the final, the match was very exciting as at one point Spain won by 11 points. My father said that Spain would win because he says he has a very good team and I told him that France also had them.
ResponderEliminarIn my opinion it was a great departure from Spain and France.
I think in basketball Spain is the best selection in the world.

don't usually watch basketball games, but this game was important, the Spanish team was playing against the French team, it was a very exciting game, I was anxious during the game because I was very intrigued to learn about who would win, finally Spain was the winner. The team was also very good and played a good game.
ResponderEliminarThis summer the Spanish team won its fourth championship in history, defeating France in a tough match.
ResponderEliminarBefore the championship I heard that the European press said that Spain was not among the favorites to win the championship, not being favorites favored the team because they didn´t have as much pressure and they worked better.
Despite not being a big fan of basketball since the quaterfinals, I saw all the games, it was a very solid team, they worked as a team and the players were motivated. The final was very interesting, both teams played very well, it was very exciting, Spain won with authority.
I hope this is the beginning of a golden age.

Basketball is a sport that I personally like a lot, I watch it often, I saw the final Eurobasket 2022 Spain vs France and in my opinion I saw superior Spain dominating the ball and taking advantage of it at all times, one of the players that caught my attention was Lorenzo Brown, I follow Spanish basketball and also the NBA, the popular basketball around the world. Many countries have strong teams competing in international tournaments. Spain is no exception, it is among the most successful teams in the sport. Its players are also among the best in the world, and its star player is Pau Gasol. Spain's success story in basketball is evidenced by its victory at the 2012 Olympic Games.
ResponderEliminarIn 1992, Spain hosted the Olympic basketball tournament for the first time. The Games were a great success, and Spain won the gold medal against the United States. It would go on to win bronze medals in the men's and women's tournaments. Spain has a long history of success in basketball. Over the years they have won several European Championships. They are especially strong at club level; Real Madrid is one of the best teams in Europe and is owned by the Spanish federation. Spain's success has led it to field one of the strongest basketball teams at the Olympic Games.
