On February 20, in Cluj (Romania), five months after conquering the world, the Spanish team will meet again on a basketball court. The controversial windows, which were the foundations of Chinese heroism, return. This time to lay the foundations for the Eurobasket of 2021 (with headquarters in Cologne, Tbilisi, Milan and Prague). Start again for Sergio Scariolo.

The coach, who has sacrificed his presence in the All Star - Nick Nurse will be one of the technicians and he had to go as part of the staff - to meet professionally with Spain, he has had to manage a conditioned list again, because nothing has improved the FIBA-Euroleague conflict. From what is available, several aspects attract attention. Among the 17 there are only two players who were world champions in Beijing, the eaves Javi Beirán and Xavi Rabaseda (Gran Canaria). And there are three new faces, three pivots, all with striking origins: 'international' muscle. It also highlights the return of Dani Díez (Tenerife).

Tyson Pérez is perhaps the main novelty. The 24-year-old power forward of MoraBanc Andorra was born in the Dominican Republic, but arrived in Spain at age nine , to Betanzos where he grew up. Formed in clubs in Madrid such as Casvi and Canoe, under the mantle of a historical such as Pepe Laso, he was ascending in the national basketball categories until he was signed by the MoraBanc Andorra of Liga Endesa last summer, where he stands out with a huge physicist That has caught the attention of the NBA.

Rubén Guerrero is also 24 years old, measures 2.13 centimeters and was born in Marbella, although he also has a curious history. From the Unicaja quarry to which he returned last summer, he jumped to the US, where he finished training. One season at Sunrise Christian Academy, three at the University of South Florida and one at Samford. His latest performances under Luis Casimiro have given him the great opportunity with the absolute.

He is also Andalusian Osas Ehigiator, another player of great physique and youth (20 years). Born in Seville and trained in Fuenlabrada , where he is already a regular at the ACB, the great future will share the painting of the absolute.

Fran Vázquez , one of the great protagonists of the World Cup classification, does not attend this time. At 36, the pivot of Casademont Zaragoza, has decided to step aside. Next to the novelties, Sebas Saiz will also be in the painting, who comes from Japan, because he signed for the Shibuya. Víctor Arteaga, of the Students, and Nacho Llovet, also of Andorra.

In the external positions the role will be for two other Unicaja players, Jaime Fernández (the last discard for the World Cup) and Darío Brizuela. Also Santi Yusta, who shines in Tenerife after leaving Madrid. The young Alocén will have the chevrons at the base post.

Spain, immersed in group A together with Romania, Poland and Israel, will seek the classification for Eurobasket, something that seems too complicated: three of the four are classified. He will focus on Guadalajara and debuts on Cluj-Napoca on Romania next 20th on Sunday, and on Sunday 23 he receives Poland, "the revelation of the World Cup", in Zaragoza . The next window is not disputed until next November.
