• Chronicle: Spain shouts again ba-lon-ces-to: world champion after defeating Argentina

Champions An exhibition for history. The second World Cup of our life. These are the twelve heroes of Beijing.

RICKY BLOND: Outstanding

Something precipitated facing the hoop at the start, with three losses and two fouls in attack that made him leave with three to rest. After the intermission, much better, including a 2 + 1 that put Spain more than 20 points up while despairing Campazzo in defense. Several losses of his when Argentina squeezed at full speed approached the South Americans, but put some calm with a good suspension. He directed with mastery the last minutes and without realizing it he finished the final with 20 points, seven rebounds and three assists. MVP deserved. For the World Cup and for everything he has lived in a career and a personal story worth telling.

RUDY FERNÁNDEZ: Outstanding

In the first part, two important triples when Argentina tightened in defense and an exhibition from there. In attack, eleven points with vital baskets, ten rebounds to summarize his leadership and intensity and a +23 with him on the track. Your sore back will remember an impressive World Cup.

PIERRE ORIOLA: Outstanding

It was the novelty in the initial quintet replacing Claver and scored the first basket of the final. Scariolo wanted of him pressure on Scola, intensity in the rebound and success of three. And he did everything. Scola did not score in the entire first half and Pierre finished with six points and seven rebounds. In the second part Claver had more minutes, but his end has been epic.

JUANCHO HERNANGÓMEZ: Outstanding

Intense at the start, being important in defense, with two steals and a plug. Much more concentrated than on other occasions and being a necessary wild card in all areas. He scored a triple in the last quarter to put the +17 that sentenced the game. Your tournament should help you to relaunch your career, it can be a good complement for any team.

MARC GASOL: Outstanding

Something disappeared in attack throughout the game, with sensational appearances, yes, and immeasurable in defense. It appeared before the break to generate from the high post and Spain breathed. He made a stellar third quarter to further open the gap in the scoreboard. For history, his semifinal will remain against Australia for what he did in attack, but his defense throughout the World Cup must be worthy of the best quintet of the tournament. He finished with 14 points, seven rebounds and seven assists. And three plugs ...

SERGIO LLULL: Outstanding

He left after the initial Spanish arreón and lost two balls in the comeback albiceleste. He suffered with the boat before the Argentine defense but resolved important plays before the break. After him, he tried several 'mandarins' in some hasty attacks from Spain in the 'minicrisis' of the last quarter, but scored a vital 2 + 1 when Argentina tightened. Great in the final minutes. 15 points for him and +17 with him on track.

PAU RIBAS: Outstanding

Triple as soon as you enter the final, well in defense of Campazzo (1 of 7 in the first part) and Laprovittola. Very intense, he ended up ejected for fouls.

KEY VICTOR: Outstanding

First time I was leaving since the second unit and did not notice. Intense and generous in aid. 0 Scola points in the first half. He finished with two points, three rebounds, two assists, two steals and a cap. Contributing in all areas.

WILLY HERNANGOMEZ: Outstanding

Today Yes. Like his brother, he showed much more concentration than in other games. Great in defense and contributing in attack. Several good movements in the post taking advantage of his agility against Scola. 11 points to finish.

QUINO COLOM, XAVI RABASEDA and JAVIER BEIRÁN: Outstanding

Scariolo rewarded his effort in the Windows with the last two minutes of the final, when everything was decided. Before the Ricky, Marc and Rudy, they were taking Spain to the World Cup during the winter. They are also heroes.

SERGIO SCARIOLO: Outstanding

The MVP has been taken by Ricky Rubio, but the Toronto Raptors assistant has given an absolute tactical display. One more. He opted for Start Oriola instead of Claver to pressure Scola and it worked out well. The Argentine, who came from putting more than 25 points in the playoffs, was zero in the first half and did not take a field shot until the last quarter. He mounted a stellar defense, insisting on aid and without letting Campazzo and Laprovittola breathe.
