Spain and Argentina confer planet finalist World Basketball Championship on the basis of full-time battles.

During the Tuesday matches

1 / 4 final fight did not work – Lithuania and Turkey without resistance surrendered note-tournament favorites. In fact, the intrigue was raised already in the fat cross the starting-quarters, where even so not shocked by the difference in the long run, as the superiority of Hispanics and pireneytsev in the classroom, in the selection of artists.

Right, all the talk is meaningless when the dance floor in the shirt of the national teams leave for the NBA superstar Manu and Gasol Zhinobili, and so, unfortunately for the opponent, actively help partners' basis. ”

The Lithuanians have the same

obvious crisis, no one to take on the responsibilities of leadership, no one to bring to life coaching ideas in close game turmoil. Scary thought, but in a meeting with Spain Baits resembled our present-day command of Russian – complete confusion and vacillation. Especially in this regard “frolic” Arvydas Macijauskas, Krzysztof Lavrinovic and Mantas Kalnietes – 16 (!) Loss for the three. As they say, no comment.

Among the Spaniards habitually

look good Juan Carlos Navarro, savory “Dank” said a young and promising Rudy Fernandez. In general, Southern European idyll.

Not forget about the Argentines sweeping only one thing: the final desyatiminutku “blue and white” had a back-up staff, and key person at the time aloud, the entire hall singing the winning tune, managing to tap into the rhythm of all parts of the body. Turkish fans, we must add, from the defeat of 25 points do not become a tragedy, because of their pets and so pleasantly surprised effective community cohesion in the group stage.
