Spanish 1×1 against Lithuania
1
Lorenzo Brown
dominant
His best score and best game is the night he showed the cool control he has over the game. The key to creating advantage and looking for the best attack options.
2
Jaime Pradilla
misguided
It was difficult for him against quality pivots.
3
Rudy Fernandez
Delivered
He provided leadership as captain, spreading belief, fighting and success in three key triples.
Four
Xavi Lopez Arostegui
secondary
His offensive role was limited, but he scored important goals on difficult occasions and final free throws.
Five
Jaime Fernandez
off
Against a more physical defender and an intimidating interior, he had a hard time finding the ring and no foul-conditioned inspiration.
6
Dario Brizuela
recycling
He didn’t have a great day scoring, which is his area of expertise, but he contributed in other areas, especially in defense, where the team as a whole was excellent.
7
Alberto Diaz
Talisman
As with Turkey, his exit on the court provided a new rhythm to the defense and unleashed his rivals. An attacking foul he caused Sabonis 15 seconds from the end was essential to keep the team in control.
8
sebastian size
fleeting
He was only on the court for three minutes in an internal rotation.
9
Willie Hernangomez
reliable
He came back to sign some imperial numbers, he knew how to show up in key moments (last 2 plus 1 in overtime), he made a free throw I did (7 of 9). He did it against teammate Valanciunas. Can I have some more please?
Ten
Usman Galba
disgust
Coming off the bench, he maintained a high level of defense and strength, fulfilling both internal defense and when he had to see them on the perimeter. His rebound in the decisive stretch was worth half the win.
eleven
Juancho Hernangomez
multipurpose
He wasn’t limited to his recent role as a mere shooter.On nights when triples didn’t come in, he looked for ways to help, and accomplished that with penetrations and offensive rebounds.
12
Joel Parra
customer’s voice
Only 6 minutes on the track to oxygenate the rotation.
