This was achieved in his first two commitments in the championship, both of which ended in victories. This setback left the team with his 2-1 record and ineligible for the Round of 16. This is what we will have to challenge against Montenegro this Tuesday and the next day. turkey.
On the other hand, this defeat puts the brakes on the Spanish team’s excellent dynamics and reminds them that without the talent of the previous year, they must always be at a high level to be competitive against their rivals. . A team like Belgium is a priori lower in terms of resources. Spain played poorly and paid the price in defeat. In every tournament there are games that go wrong and we have to move forward no matter what. There are times when it can be resolved by individuality and good battle record, but if it does not come out, it will result in a loss.
Spain He was already showing signs of not being good mentally in the first quarter. His first 7-3 Willie hernangomez, but the general operation is not very good. Fighting Belgium quickly turned the tables (9-15).The 11 points scored by the Spanish team in the first quarter is the worst number in the period euro basketballWith an offense not too dynamic and not much determination and aggression, the team recorded 4 of 12 shots from the field.
Exit to the field of understudy as Jaime Pradilla, Jaime Fernandez, Dario Brizuela Helping Spain attack, which led to a 15-0 run and widened the gap (26-17). Scariolo He put the starters back on the court to see if they were more awake, rejuvenated and able to find the rhythm of the game, but no. Belgium He fell in love with the game again (31-32).
Spain Can no longer find keys to victory over Belgium Already grown and very aware she faces a golden opportunity to do damage. The 9-0 run once again gave the impression that Spain had rediscovered their best version (48-43), but this was not the case.
But the worst came after a 73-71 run with three and a half minutes remaining. Spain He allowed a partial 0-12 and left a bad image in that moment of truth, in a crucial moment. It was a truly disastrous three-and-a-half minutes in which Spain did not perform well in attack, defense, or rebounding, giving them an uncompetitive image.
Loss does not unduly jeopardize classification Spainwhile he still has many options for placing in the top four of the group, this is a cautionary tale and a clear example that any loss of focus, desire or intensity comes at a high price.

Tension is rising. Euroleague notified NBA about possible lawsuits
Europa League reported NBAAccording to Eurohoops, legal action may be initiated in case of negotiations for a new project in Europe between the American league and the clubs that have signed an agreement with the Euroleague for the next ten years.
A letter was sent to the NBA last week and all EuroLeague clubs currently holding License A were notified.
It was also reported that a remote meeting will be held between Euroleague shareholder clubs on January 13, as they are the only shareholders who have not yet signed a new license for the next 10 years, and the main purpose of this will be for Real Madrid, Barcelona, Fenerbahçe and ASVEL to decide on the future.
On Friday, January 16, the deadline set by Euroleague shareholders ends to fully confirm the common future of the tournament. Therefore, answers may come within a few hours. However, we should also point out that, legally, according to existing contracts, clubs can sign their new licenses until June 30, 2026, so it is very difficult to predict anything.
Among the remaining Euroleague clubs, there is optimism that Barcelona and Fenerbahce will agree on a position with other shareholders and continue the agreement. At the same time, Real Madrid remains a mystery and ASVEL’s days in the Euroleague appear to be over.
Each case is expected to be handled individually, and in the case of ASVEL, no resistance is expected from the Euroleague if the club led by Tony Parker wants to withdraw from the tournament.
Meanwhile, the clubs that are currently participating in the Euroleague and do not have an A-license also sent a joint letter and requested their presence at the meetings regarding the future of the tournament. But most likely they will not participate in tomorrow’s negotiations.
