With 18 players representing each of the ACB teams, including new European champion Joel Parra (Joventut), the Endesa League raised the curtain in a ceremony that also paid tribute to the Spanish team after Berlin’s memorable gold. “It has been a historic and unforgettable summer. This is the result of the work of many,” acknowledged Jorge Garbajosa, president of the Spanish Basketball Federation (FEB), who described Unicaja point guard Alberto Díaz, who was re-fished at the last minute as a replacement for the injured Sergio Llull, as “the new hero national”.
“We have enjoyed watching this championship (the Eurobasket 2022) and that of the youngest ones,” said ACB president Antonio Martín, after Spanish basketball was present in the nine possible finals in all categories this summer. and has won five others and four silver. «The Eurobasket was the finishing touch to a stratospheric summer. The success of the Endesa League is assured,” predicted the Secretary of State for Sports, José Manuel Franco.
Among the players, Álex Abrines, who was unable to defend Spain at the European Championship in September, the Barça player also emphasized that “Alberto Díaz was the key in the Eurobasket”. “He has played at a very high level and at specific moments in important games he was fundamental,” Abrines acknowledged in reference to the Unicaja point guard, although he also pointed out that, in addition to the team, “part of the success also belongs to Lorenzo Brown.” “The key was the group,” said Quino Colom, the new signing of Marc Gasol from Girona who was called up by Sergio Scariolo for the pre-season but was ultimately banned by the national coach.
