Spain beats China ... when they began to defend. Good start
The match between Spain and China this morning meant a spectacular addition to important touchstone for the English team that returned to the reality of the competition after winning many games with almost off the bus.
As you said the players and Aito himself (who is now in criticism but I came back to show he is the master teacher and then write about it in later posts) English players today thought they would win no sweat shirt and well they were until they saw that either defended or lost and so loud.
At the tactical level I think the Chinese coach was a task that at times touched excellence, used the changes and downtime with expertise to stop the possible biased against knowing that the English team is easy to get them to stop offensive spells KO the opponent. On the English side to Aito not left the defensive changes that always tend to give great results and even that failed to defend as you know your kids could do more. Continued with its philosophy of rotations but adapting to the reality that needed players like Rudy and Pau many minutes they were on track for his leadership and characteristics depending on the opponent.
In short and in contrast to what shown in Europe last year, Spain also showed that suffering knows how to win and that rotations Aito top players reach the final minutes of games are decided. I can never forget or Pau Jimenez physically buried in the last Eurobasket final and losing balls as unworthy because they lacked the necessary freshness.
Unlike many colleagues who have seen the party as a negative thing for me this game has given an extra point work and motivation to the team and demonstrate that they have to win medals gigs. If this comes to pass in the quarterfinals against Argentina or Lithuania would in house lamenting another medal chance lost as happened to us historically.
Now for Germany and for the "little people" who criticize without knowing (I'm loving the SER but every time I hear the football fans criticize coaches or basketball players wielding absurd arguments from the deepest ignorance and today I am unworthy been such a day) and Spain want to win always be 20 to be forgotten and be prepared to suffer and gain little or lose, this is a sport and not always lost through mistakes or address of the trainer or performance of the players. China is a good team that knows what he plays and has good players and it was normal to play a match highly competitive and more at home with home arbitration logic on the other, and against a good team final. And against Germany
can also suffer, has two NBA, one the best European player and one a pivot drive and not lacking in quality in addition to hard workers and great outside shooters. With a team is worse than the current German team was runner-up in Europe.
This English team is very large, a great group of people, and great players, but let's face it, if we play against an opponent that we want to win at all costs that may or not our day and that also may be more or less successful, these guys have shown to have more blood and heart that many English athletes who are paid 100 times more and that until this year had never won anything. Do not fall into the absurdity of criticizing futbolero by vice. Now we are not fools us.

Shift Squadron Pants 2009
After a long period to stop by here what better way to rewrite that talking about victory in the debut of the English basketball at the Olympic Games in Beijing.
say the first game, along with the most important crossroads which will determine how the rest of the competition. I believe very much that statement (ask the players who participated in the games of 2000 where they started Angola beating and never came back to win a group game) but if I think it is important to a good start and Spain has done and the best way, showing that it is a team that is capable of dominating the opponent in all fields .
Greece started defending very hard to play hoops on the counterattack and successfully in the foreign launch which raised a very even first quarter where our people were not able to impose their rhythm and kept with its aggressive defense in the final minutes same. To win the game
Spain raised a defense that was perfect at times denied all possibilities of the Greeks to dominate the game with his game and pick 2C1 or defenses raising roll alternately flash but always with great aggression. When the Greek players played the final minutes of each possession, when they feel more comfortable, the English players posed very aggressive defense, whenever zoneando occurred 1c1 to close the court and making 2C1 very effective when the asset was Greek offensive the low post.
On offense only had to wait for the run of the day to break the game and play a placid last minutes which completely convinced Ricky maturity to handle a game without problems.
to the relaxation could detract from the end that seemed to many important points in possible future ties in the group, not as negative due to success in the final seconds. Victoria
important to show that this selection in addition to being the best players they have is also the wish to represent all who have defended the national colors. Now we have to keep the defensive line and go slowly increasing the level offensive and tried to go back players like Navarro and Gasol are shown only at very specific and should contribute more if we really aspire to the medals. Because we can not demand less than the final selection at this level.
