• Marc Gasol. 1,113 matches to fight for a gold: "Whoever criticizes him should reflect"

It seems that Spain has taken cruising speed. Of course, now every day the demand is greater and the logical thing is that all the games are more complicated. Australia , like us, is not having many rotations, but when you reach this World Cup, you are out of personal matters: there is no fatigue, no physical discomfort, no shooting percentages, no minutes played.

You know that what you have ahead is such a special and unique opportunity that everyone will try to show the best of their versions. From Spain I liked the ability to adapt. The match against Italy was key, gave them a boost of confidence and security in their possibilities. It was a touch of attention to all the rivals: «We are here, and if you want to win you will have a hard time».

At first we talked about Marc and Ricky as great references of the team, in addition to what they could bring Llull , Claver or Rudy , who were the most experienced in this type of competition, because this is no longer just the quality you have, but the times you've seen yourself in similar situations.

Within that group, the most regular are being Rubio and Claver. Ricky with more prominence and Victor in containment, both of them reading the games fantastically. Ricky continues to grow, with that maturity he had since childhood and now with everything he has lived is at an incredible level, with an offensive presence that he did not have so much before. It is giving Spain tremendous potential.

As for the eliminations of Serbia and the United States , I always say that the championships have to be played. Serbia has been under pressure to look favorites. They said it was the best Serbia since 2002 and I think they have played tricks on that excess of expectations.

And in the case of the United States, they have found a different basketball than they are used to. It is not just about what you are supposed to do, but what you are capable of doing every day. They are in the right place for the championship they have made. And Spain too.
