Spain is the best European team in the last 15 years, just from the day Pau Gasol came up in the elite. Regardless they are playing this tournament without Mirotic, Ibaka or Abrines.
@@Madferit91 Did you think Spain would get eliminated in the first round just because of are playing without their best players ever? They just did what all expected they did, where a win over Serbia was not unexpected.
If the best player in this whole tournament who wasn't selected NBA MVP last year gets ejected from your team, you probably lose. Serbia is much better than Spain, but the game must run through Joker.
i dunno man Jokic needs to chill out and just play ball.. he's getting too emotional... Gasol really showed off his veteran talent tonight...good thing they don't got the other Gasol and Ibaka who could both also be playing for Spain.
Congratulations to Spain ! You was better today, I wish you all the best in the rest of competition. Actually, maybe this loss is what we needed at the moment becouse we thaught that nobody can beat us, we had too much confidence. In Serbia it is common to say: "Who flies high falls low". Yet I believe that Serbia has quality to become world champions. Best regards from Serbia to all basketball lovers.
That is true.. Some Serbian fans or some fans are already thinking of USA vs Serbia for finals and some are now saying how can they beat USA.. I honestly think that Serbia is very capable in defeating anyone as long as they got their game going strong, but fans thought way too ahead, they might have forgotten that there are teams to beat first before they can compete for the finals.. More like focus on who's in front of you before thinking of beating someone else.. But anyway great game, I just hope Jokic played until the last minute they might have a chance on getting back, ref should have given him warning first.. Great game.. And good luck for your national team ❤️❤️👍👍
I know i´m biased because i´m from Spain but i really think our team has the best defensive squad in this World Cup. We are clearly lacking scorers though
I'm glad you admit to being biased. I'm American and Australia plays tough defense also. I havent watched a lot of the games because they're on so late, but those guys are physical. I still dont think any teams matches the US overall athleticism, and coaching. But that's also biased. Imo the best coach in the tourney is Popovich. The only reason they have a disadvantage is the lack of chemistry compared to a lot of the other teams.
@@davidhostache6071 Sorry but here only two matches are televised each day so i haven´t watched France at all. With Gobert inside they should be good but i really don´t know
@@ThorGodofThunder420 Yeah i´m also sure that no team can match the US in those aspects, but even with the best coach you have to get used to the new FIBA rules while at the same time trying to build a system with players that may have been rivals a few months before. I still think the US is the favourite but they cannot get confident or they migth be kicked out
Im glad this loss will keep the Serbian fans quiet for a bit. They were getting too big headed saying they the best team in the world and all that. Sit down be humble!
I'm a Serbian and ofc a fan of basketball,but I agree with you. The majority of the fans who talk big in the name of our team had never played this game of basketball and don't really understand how it actually is. They played really bad today,and Spain deserved to win. Hopefully the coach will make some changes for the future games. Cheers!
If Marc Gasol wakes up from his midday nap (spanish siesta), this team will be fearful. Great tactical job from coach Scariolo and gret game from Rubio and Claver. It is nice to see Rubio with such nice confidence when attacking the rim
leGoat is the best player ever of all timer. Or maybe he just wanted to stay with the raps because not every player wants to play in LA you know not because the team want him that he want to play there
Sad to see Jokic been sent off the court. It's a really good game to watch. It may go over time if Jokic could play on the 4th quarter. Great game for both teams, both got talents to beat the USA team
All those teams plays, spain team knows how to play important more the opposition is strong more they lift up their level, by the way usa team will win that world cup coz they are programming to be present at the big moment that’s nba mindset whether they’re young or they didn’t play well so far that’s not the aim, the only purpose is to reach and win the final simply.
Suffocating defense by España held the Serbians under 70 pts. They were hedging hard on screens while doubling quickly on key decision makers. Their stingy defense got under Jokić's skin and cost Serbia their best player. Wonder where Boban Marjanović was during this game. He could have helped protecting the paint since Spain scored a lot in the paint.
Serbia is just a big hyped team. Spain and especially Argentina exposed them. The Serbian coach complained about dirty plays of other teams but they themselves played dirty against Argentina.
Omg 🇪🇸 started to play better now and 🇷🇸 didnt find the way to much presure on them the only guy who played really good was bagdanobic the smallest guy in serbia man he was Rollin as always like the way he does in in Sacramento he is automatic,on the other hand Ricky RUBIO was balling today he came out to win.
So it's official.. it's Argentina vs Serbia.....Spain vs Poland........U.S.A. vs Australia....should Greece win by 3 points against Czech Rep... it's going to be France vs Greece...if not France vs Czech Republic
Serbian coach Djordjevic is the one to blame here. Serbia started very well, gained a decent advantage, Spain missed a lot of shots, didn't have too many ideas on offensive. And then in the second quarter Spain started playing extremely aggressive defense which Djordjevic didn't know how to respond to, similar as against Lithuania's aggressive defense. Serbia has several great centers, all they needed to do is move the ball more often under the basket and force Spain to commit fauls and occasionaly gain 2pts + free throw.
You have to know that FIBA's basketball is getting closer to you every day, step by step. I know we're still far and we'll probably never be able to get your basketball level for too many reasons, but there's also people all around the world with lots of skills and the capacity to play this sport and compete with the best basketball players. You have to realize that you're going to have serious troubles in these competitions if you don't go with most of your top stars. Sometimes great players are not enough.
High level of basketball, two strong teams. Very skilled and high teamplay
What a game by Spain.
Claver and Rudy put on a defensive show
Serbia has Bogdanovic and Jokic, but Spain has a TEAM, that was the key...
...and Spain had/has coach unlike us, it was the biggest thing ;) With Igor Kokoskov it will be total different story i am sure!
Spain is the best European team in the last 15 years, just from the day Pau Gasol came up in the elite. Regardless they are playing this tournament without Mirotic, Ibaka or Abrines.
