Although it is by far the most successful group in EurobasketSpain is only tenth in Power Rankings for the event that begins in Limassol tomorrow. THE Sergio He does not consider this rank unfounded, but he thinks his team can … overthrow it.
“I honestly don’t think everyone is stupid in basketball. They took out these power rankings because they think things are now. But Power Rankings don’t play basketball. I think they are more formed than the talent of the players in each roster. We have managed to earn points over the years, but because of our chemistry, concentration, regular approach and unity. We are very relying on these weapons to be competitive. I think we have very good players anyway, I am happy with the players I have“, He stressed.
On the situation of his team in view of tomorrow’s match against Georgia (15:00) he said: “So far all right. The place is beautiful, the facilities and the organization is very good, as are my food, and my players are healthy. Now it’s time to fight on the court. We have great respect for the Georgian team, they have won us over the past. They have big bodies and we have to be very good at keeping them away from the basket and at the same time playing smart. They have high -level NBA players, they have a very good nautical and good athletes in all positions. We have to be very careful, it will probably be a closed game and I hope we win”
Finally, for the renewal in the roster, he underlined: ‘Each year is different, has a different group, different quality, different ages, different size. You have to adapt to the data every time, but at the same time you have to make your players responsible to reach the level that your team and teammates require. We have many young children who, if dedicated to this piece, will adapt. You cannot demand the same of everyone, you should not manage everyone in the same way and wait for the same response. It is a challenge for a coach, but it is also fun”
The leader of the group, Guilistressed: ‘Our preparation was very good and now is time to fight. We are very focused, it will be a difficult match with Georgia, which is a hard team. They have a lot of good players, strong and there will be a battle. I believe we are ready“
