• World Cup Spain shouts again ba-lon-ces-to: world champion after crushing Argentina

With the gold of the World Cup still hot around the neck, the season of the other basketball, the daily one, starts to run with the Super Cup. Direct flight Beijing-Madrid nonstop to play the first trophy of the course against those who until two days ago were brothers. Rudy Fernández, Sergio Llull (Real Madrid), Víctor Claver, Pierre Oriola (Barcelona) and Quino Colom (Valencia Basket): Spanish half team will be present, but each one back to his side.

The ACB can boast 16 medalists and more than half will be in the Super Cup, as the Spaniards have to add the Argentine colony of Real Madrid ( Campazzo, Laprovittola and Deck ) and the bronze of the Labeyrie taronja. And in that, in the legs, the World Cup will also be noticed. Barça Pau Ribas has returned with discomfort and will be low this Saturday and the rest, although he will play, he will hardly have had time to catch air. After eight games and 25,000 kilometers in three weeks, the first steep of the season appears.

The faces and even the papers are the same. Real Madrid is the first to enjoy that brilliant conversion of Rudy in the second sword and who accompanies Llull on his way back, at Barça Claver, Ribas and Oriola are the squad of intendence and Valencia Basket has trusted Colom to Lead your team with that same stable hand. Just change the uniform, but that's enough.

Real Madrid defends title with five medalists in their ranks. The good thing, that only one of them is new (Laprovittola, last MVP of the Endesa League). The bad, they have barely had a couple of workouts to get the idea. Those of Pablo Laso maintain the block of the last campaign (the only novelties are the Argentine base and the center Jordan Mickey) and open fire against the Montakit Fuenlabrada (21.00 hours), which will serve as host even if played in the WiZink Center .

Mirotic, protagonist

In that World Cup caravan Nikola Mirotic could well be, but for the second tournament followed the Spanish-Montenegrin resigned from the Spanish team. He missed the bronze of 2017 and this gold in which, due to his reaction in social networks, it was not very clear if he would have liked to be. «Congratulations champions. In the end there was no need to miss anyone. It was the 12 that had to be and are the 12 most eager for this World Cup, ”he wrote minutes after finishing the final. Your message, a maze.

But it won't be that, but the shirt he wears that will make Mirotic one of the great protagonists of the Super Cup. Not a party has had to wait for the star signing of Barcelona to return to what was their home. Yes, in theory the WiZink Center is neutral ground in the Super Cup, but in the stands the majority jury will be the one who will pass the bill of his surprise arrival to Barça. Although Real Madrid did not have a place - Anthony Randolph and Trey Thompkins form one of the best pairs of four in Europe - although he wanted to return to Spain with his family, although only the Catalans could take care of one of the highest salaries on the continent and although Felipe Reyes , captain of Real Madrid, will remove iron this week. "I love that he comes back because he is my friend, although I would have liked him not to sign for another team," he said. And ready.

Mirotic is the emblem of a new Barcelona that has raised this summer the most ambitious project in Europe. Because it is him but also Alex Abrines , already recovered for basketball, Brandon Davies , best center of the Euroleague last season, Cory Higgins, capital forward in the CSKA, and, to cover the injury of Thomas Heurtel, the pleasure has been given of signing Malcolm Delaney , another former NBA. A liner that aspires to everything, starting with this Super Cup.

His first rival will be the Valencia Basket (18.30 hours), which tries to redo the march of two key pieces, Will and Matt Thoma s, in the direction of the Toronto Raptors. The taronja, who are looking for their fourth season followed with titles (last year Eurocup fell), have recovered for Spanish basketball Quino Colom, who after doing the military in Russia and Turkey arrives in direct flight Beijing-Madrid become champion of the world.
