Spain seeks the perfect closure
The women’s team plays its last qualifying game for the Eurobasket in June in Reykjavic
MADRID, 11 Feb. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Spanish women’s basketball team will close this Sunday (8:45 p.m. / Teledeporte) the qualifying phase for the Eurobasket in Israel and Slovenia next June with a visit to Iceland, a rival that should not prevent the full victory of the Miguel Mendez team.
Spain did not suffer the loss of ‘first swords’ in their first match of this last qualifying ‘window’ and took a clear 32-75 victory against Romania on Thursday, a game that served the coach to see new faces for the future and in case you need to use them.
It was not an excessively brilliant game for the national team, which was enough to impose its highest quality to avoid complications, although now it hopes that there will also be a better coupling of its numerous novelties to add the sixth victory. Improving in turnovers, 16 at the Sepsi Arena, and in shooting from three (6/21), may be some of the main aspects to improve.
Miguel Méndez will have to decide which are the twelve players he has for this visit to Reykjavik. On Thursday, she dispensed with the Uni Girona point guard Laia Flores, who this time could have her chance in a team in which Marta Canella, María Eraunzetamurguil and Mariona Ortiz made their international debuts.
Opposite, an Iceland that no longer has any chance of qualifying and that comes from conceding another heavy defeat in the visit of Hungary, which won by 57 points (58-115), so it does not present a night of too much demand for an Spain that won at the Carolina Marín de Huelva by an even greater difference (120-54).
