There were few who believed that Spain could reach the European throne, but we confirmed two things once again – Sergio Scariolo is a master of basketball, and courage often prevails in such matches.
It’s no secret that Spain played in an extremely weakened team, but the Hernangomez brothers and naturalized Spaniard Lorenzo Braun showed that they were enough for this Eurobasket.
However, not so long ago we laughed at another statement by Scariol, who obviously took the pressure off his team in that way.
- I was watching the match between Slovenia and Serbia and was thinking whether I should continue watching and enjoy it or turn off the TV so I don’t fall into depression. I watched players like Doncic, Adetokunbo, Jokic… We are talking about the NBA MVP. It’s like a dreamland for us – said Scariolo exactly one month ago.
Then he also touched Lithuania, which also found itself on the way to the final for the Spaniards.
- Lithuania is one of the favorites. They are physically strong, athletes and experienced. They have many players who play in the Euroleague, they have top NBA players, seven or eight players play at the top level, said the experienced expert.
We probably don’t need to remind you that Serbia and Lithuania are in the round of 16, and Slovenia in the quarter-finals of Eurobasket.
