Spain died on the shore of his dreams, eliminated in the quarterfinals of the games for a France he did not know how to finish. At that time of the truth that it was for this team of legend in the recent past, this time the ghosts were its own, unusual mistakes that impreasing the triumph, which unleashed the tears of a team that seemed willing to another feat. [Narration and Statistics (64-67)]
He had achieved the most difficult of the selection, a comeback of self-love before the Galus Power, which was saved as many past affairs, as many own desolations. France has lost five consecutive European finals, three of them at the hands of Spain, the last one in Valencia a few weeks ago against Serbia. And he went after a first phase tremulous, in which he gave in to Japan and the United States. But this time his own revenge was going to be taken.
Again in a final end, again without alba torrens. Everything reminded too much about what happened in the recent Eurobasket.
After a good staging, soon the Spanish impetus was surpassed by the size and speed of the French. There are too many outstanding accounts. Gaby Williams scored two consecutive triples and then Marine Johannes appeared to touch Rebat. A brutal takeoff that left Spain completely paralyzed.
Suddenly, everything were bad news, one behind another. France stretched out its advantage with a partial demolisher (3-19 for 19-33), Maite Cazorla had to go to the locker room with an ugly blow and, for more Inri, Alba Torrens committed the third failure. In that abyss, courage so as not to let a train go away at full speed.
Without trusting from the perimeter, those of Lucas Mondelo successfully searched for his other reference. The continuations of Astou Ndour finally stopped the bleeding and the selection went to life with life (30-36).
The return of changing rooms did not clarify the panorama. After an unsportive lack of glude Sandrine, he hit Ndour and Laia Palau successively, Spain was closer (38-40). But the French slap was again expressing, with the genius of Johannes unbound. The Valerie Garnier dominated the rhythm and sensations and the selection was grabbed at night in Saitama as a lap to a rock.
He was Cristina Ouviña, who has signed some games at a celestial level, which led the revolution. With a defensive claw mark from the house. And Cazorla, and back from the scare of the first half, which materialized it with five consecutive points.
But without dawn, he had committed the fourth, everything was more complicated. Even so, Spain, with another triple of Cazorla, managed to consume the comeback, for the first time ahead since dawn. And he took the game to a completely agonizing ending in which he soon returned the bad news. An unusual failure of Laura Gil under the hoop and the fifth of Alba. And yet, Johannes' magic had to be again, with a lovely basket on the horn of possession, which touched Spain, that neither in the final madness was fine: Silvia Domínguez delivered the weapons with a bad pass.
