The Spanish coach, Sergio Scariolo, appeared in the press room at the Indonesia Arena in Jakarta with the satisfaction of having fulfilled his duty. The National Team already has a victory and expects Brazil.
– The best thing about the game is that everyone has let go?
– As I said, the attitude has been good. We have started well and everyone has had the right attitude to participate in the running of the team. The 18 losses are too many. Some of them have been forced and others have been unforced and meaningless. We have to avoid them.
– How have you seen Santi and Juan?
Santi has played his first match in the great championship of the National Team and has paid off a bit on his nerves. He has to convince himself to do things. Being aggressive, he can play with a high pace although with his size he is sometimes defended with smaller players. And the trust we have in Juan is obvious. We have anticipated the times with him, but he is a demanding player who wants to learn, listen. He is very eager to avoid mistakes. We always ask him to be more efficient at the back but he is responding well, even faster than we expect. We are satisfied with his performances. We are happy with the development of it. He is the starting point guard at 19 years old.
– How is Abrines? Today in Brazil Raulzinho Neto was injured
They are things you hate to see in yours, in others. I don’t think Alex’s injury is anything serious. They will do tests tomorrow but it doesn’t seem like anything serious. But it’s just what you want to see, someone get hurt off a basketball court.
– Claver always brings energy.
He has made a game. No
At the press conference, together with Scariolo, Willy Hernangómez spoke:
“It’s always hard to start a competition like this because everyone has a lot of emotions, but the important thing was the victory. Now it’s time to recover and think about the game in Brazil. Playing in this Selection is easy; I have the best teammates in the world and the best coach in the world. John Nunez? He has a great opportunity; He has had a good year growing up in Germany and I have a good time with him. It is also impressive to play with the veterans: Rudy, Llull and Claver are legends of the National Team. The way they prepare training sessions, matches… They are great for the team”.
