Spain beat Lithuania and will play his second Olympic final

24 years have passed since that selection, the second best in history, who stunned the whole country enters the Olympic final in Los Angeles '84. The reissue the final Saturday and Spain will to give everything.

Spain won 91-86 to Lithuania in a game that was made to suffer. So what? Is not suffered in the semifinals of the 2006 World Cup against Argentina? Sure, and more. In that game he injured Pau Gasol, who missed the final and we won. Why did not we were going to win this game without Jose Calderon?

Spain went very plugged in to the party, making a difference of eight points, the premise of meeting in the first quarter. Jorge Garbajosa scored two triples of their own and all we said we will go to ride. " Nothing is further from reality because the Lithuanians struck up the party base of faults (do not criticize, is a risky way to play that took her why at the end) and triples were not long in coming. This time it was a guy named Jaskauskas the martyred us from the line of 6.25, while in Lithuania until the kitman the plug from the outside. So we went to rest, with four down due to play 3 +1 by a lack of Pau Gasol (who knows how to defend in area, where it should, not outside).

Not that Spain played badly, is that they are some Olympic semifinals against a team from that country has is no longer in the semis (although never reached the final) and has been three times bronze. But as always remedied the ballot, especially a Rudy Fernandez who knows what maturity and is one of the alma maters of this team, along with Pau Gasol, Ricky Rubio and the ubiquitous captain Carlos Jimenez, a sample player scaffolding, the fighting, rebounding, defending and, ultimately, makes the work more necessary and less brilliant than one computer. Without him Spain would be very lost.

Finally in the fourth quarter he turned his marker and Spain enjoyed a small advantage comfortably he held until late in the game, especially thanks to the exclusion of up to four players Lithuanians for misdemeanors. 24 years have passed since Epi, Romay, Fernando Martin and Jordan company still fighting against a university in Los Angeles. Anything is possible and it is time to dream. In addition, Aito says neither crazy going to see a Spain as the 37 point difference. And what says Mr. Reneses going to church.
