The defending champion Spain lost its first game! How far do you think they can go in this European Championship?

On the second day of the European Championship, the Spanish team, which won the championship last time, failed to win the Georgian team with a huge score of 69-83. A game of bad start is really regrettable.

Looking back at the previous European Championship warm-up match, the performance of the Spanish team is really unsatisfactory. With only 1 win or 5 losses, such a lackluster record, it is really difficult to show the style of a veteran strong team.

If the pointer of time is turned back to the international competition stage in recent years, the situation of the Spanish team will be bleak. In the 2023 Basketball World Cup, they ranked ninth, and their results were unsatisfactory; in the 2024 Paris Olympics, they returned with regret and failed to qualify, and their loneliness was beyond words.

Now, this long-standing European veteran team is deeply trapped in a quagmire of disagreement. Looking closely at the lineup of this European Championship, only Hernan Gomez brothers and Aldama have NBA experiences. Among the other players, no rising stars who stand out have made their mark.

In the next group stage, the Spanish team still needs to prepare for battles and face strong enemies such as Bosnia and Herzegovina (2:30 on August 31), Cyprus (23:15 on August 31), Italy (2:30 on September 3), Greece (2:30 on September 5).

Under such circumstances, it is hard to help but wonder: What is the prospect of the Spanish team qualifying for this European Championship? Can they turn the tide and reverse the decline in international competitions in recent years with their perseverance and ingenious tactics?
