As previously reported, in the Paris Olympic men’s basketball group stage, the Spanish national team lost to Canada and ranked fourth in their group, resulting in elimination.
A domestic sports media figure, @ChiefZT from Ball Circle, posted about the Spanish national basketball team.
The content of the post is as follows:
“Spain has now lost to Canada with the exact same score in two consecutive tournaments, ultimately finishing fourth in their group and failing to advance for the first time since 2000. While this might seem surprising, there were signs pointing to this outcome. World basketball is advancing at a rapid pace, with emerging powers like Canada on the rise, while Spain faces significant issues with its aging roster—they are one of the most reliant teams on veteran players. Spanish basketball remains entertaining to watch, but during crucial moments, they lack a go-to scorer who can create opportunities in one-on-one situations. Had they not been placed in the ‘Group of Death,’ they might have still managed to qualify as the best third-placed team. Rudy Fernández, aged 39, played his final game, having competed in six Olympic Games—an unprecedented achievement in men’s basketball history, deserving of respect.”
