FIBA World Rankings 2027 – Europe -Groups_Round_Third – a trip 2


From one Spain to another, one world. The selection failed to make its Eurobasket debut last year against Georgia in a shock of dropped arms and poor competitive spirit. It was the beginning of Scariolo’s farewell. Three months later, against the same opponent led by Shengelia and Chermadini, a renewed lineup and with another spirit established in Tenerife a strong confrontation of solidarity and energy in their game and achieved a second successive victory in the classification for the 2027 World Cup. in the United States. Double success, and double deserving, after beating Denmark in the last match with Chus Mathieu. Although there was little time to assemble the pieces and convey his message, the artist left his brush strokes in a freer style. The difference between that Spain is that it is not alone in its names and in its character. Yusta (17 points, 6 assists) and Almansa (12 points, 9 rebounds) stood out in terms of statistics.
Georgia is beautiful on the inside, and it is the land where Shengelia and Shermadini live. It was Barcelona’s pivot, thrown to the wind, who opened the can with an outside run against a devastated Spain. The team was missing the injured Jaime Fernandez, one of its best generators. The choice was breathing with the slow bingo of Rhys and Gira, but won with climax and skill in the attack, which he received behind him without much resistance. He quickly healed the heirloom until Chus ordered Mateo to stop while inciting the banquelo. The picture worsened before the first break (19-22) when Osobor left the track due to a blow on the steering wheel, which he left less than two minutes after entering. I didn’t turn around to play.
The reaction continues by lifting the defensive team and accelerating toward the rim. Sh race It was a revelation for Alvaro Cárdenas. The formula, crowned by Monica Busquets and Pauli, was the choice that would be reborn and take the first wind (32-29). Yusta also lacked Seta with red and Spain eventually took advantage of the energy of the new blood in front of Georgia without lungs in the middle of the papillon left on the ground. The good distribution of balloons led to the start of Spain, which was 11 points behind its competitor in the second quarter (47-33).
Selection made it possible to discover the path. Defense and success. This was one reflection of the tireless Alberto Diaz when he performed a 20-second triple solo. The captain ordered and the troops followed him. The Chos Mathieu group was a train at full speed in front of the firefighters of Shengelia and Shermadini, who said goodbye to their selection 36 years ago. The Spanish team distinguished itself physically by its intensity in competing for each balloon before some of the red men surrendered. Pauly was lucky to hit two sticks in the same game to help Reyes and Isan Almansa to two tables. Each converted trilogy was an act of faith (70-46).
The tone was loud because Spain raised the decibel level while Georgia lowered the volume. Choice, excelling in rebounds (ocho más) and Enchufada to collect 14 three-pointers, cruised into the final quarter, happy with the team effort. The new selection of Chus Mateo has dawned with the best sensations.
