Spain beat Germany 72-59

The Spanish national basketball is continuing his duties at the Olympics ... half.

However much they may say, the game against Germany for selection in 2006 was hung gold in Japan was not easy. However, the first two quarters of the game Spain played well and not Germany sent on the scoreboard. They had a pauper percentage on all shots. Perhaps it was fatigue from the pressure of knowing favorites, rotations Aito Garcia Reneses or simply because you can not always be at the level shown great selection. The problem is that since the last games of Eurobasket 2007 the Spanish national basketball wins with solvency, but not so convincing. Or we will be getting too demanding? My opinion is yes. The selection won all their games but when his game has ups and downs we lay hands on the head. It's all right, gentlemen, when the choice is his point is unstoppable.

In the match against Germany to Spain cost him get into the game, where getting into the game means to obtain a comfortable income, because Germany was never too much time on the scoreboard. But between the end of the second quarter and the beginning of the third, 22.3 endorsed a partial to the Germans that they were left untouched. The best, again, Ricky Rubio. More by statistics, by the brash young man's base. It is a guarantee on defense. Jose Manuel Calderon led all scorers with 15 points, followed by Pau Gasol with 13. Juan Carlos Navarro still can not find his game, but Jorge Garbajosa regained his confidence by scoring two triples in a short time.

For Germany, the best was Hamann with 15 points. The Spanish defense sec or a Dirk Nowitzki, who remained only 11 points. The next opponent of Spain is the powerful United States.
