The Spanish basketball team was liked in Poland (88-89) on the penultimate day of the qualifying phase for the Eurobasket 2022, which was already classified, and did not miss the opportunity to grab sensations and improve their figures in a new international window in which
Darío Brizuela
(21 points) and
Jonathan Barreiro
(24)
stood out
.
The team of
Sergio Scariolo
will close this Sunday against Israel, also in the Polish city of Gliwice format 'bubble', a qualifying competition
which already did their homework.
However, this Friday they claimed the revenge of the first leg and added a new victory in a scoring festival for both teams.
An action by
Slaughter
on
Fran Guerra
with 0.6 seconds left was what gave Spain the victory.
The duel was always even, with meager advantages for each other.
At the beginning of Brizuela and
López-Arístegui
the Central Europeans replicated with
Waczynski
and Slaughter himself, who finished with 27 points as
Taylor's
best pupil
.
From 11-13 to 20-20, when the debut of Fran Guerra, vital in the last play,
Miquel Salvó
and
Joel Parra, arrived
.
A tight ending
At halftime, after a carousel of successes from Barreiro, the light reflected more equality (43-43) until Spain - without necessity due to its already credited merits - pressed the accelerator with
Bassas
and Brizuela in star plan.
The San Sebastian allowed 70-76 with six minutes to go, the maximum advantage for Scariolo's men.
However, Poland did not give up and woke up with a lucky action.
Bassas lost the ball in a play that could close the game, but he made an unsportsmanlike thing that got the Poles back.
Adam Waczynski hit a stratospheric triple and gave his team an 85-83 lead with one minute of play.
Unicaja's was replicated by his teammate: Brizuela also hit from the perimeter on the subsequent play.
Michalak
wanted extra time but a last play on Fran Guerra ended with two free throws for Spain with almost no time left, less than a second.
The Lenovo Tenerife pivot scored the first and consciously missed the second to avoid giving rise to the rebound of his rivals.
The strategy went perfectly and the Spanish team closed the process against Poland in a remarkable way.
