As you can imagine, in the last few hours here in Lodz in what has been said in the debates, even this morning at breakfast, is the end of yesterday's match between France and Greece. "grotesque" "surreal" ... all that and much more has qualified those minutes in which neither French nor Greek wanted to win the match because he won he would have plenty of opportunities to cross to Spain in the quarterfinals end. In the hotel bar in which are housed all selections were following the match-Serb technicians, journalists, a manager ... - who, when De Colo scored the basket that undid the tie and gave the victory to France a bit of laugh and a problem had to call "stupid" to the new Pamesa player, joking about if it was not aware of the play or not he had said.
I remember a few years a CBA coach explained his personal experience in a game that his team, after several days of discussions at the highest levels of club-left to lose. "is infinitely more difficult and complicated to play to lose than to win, "he said, also because the public realizes, he knows, and you feel you're doing a ridiculously awesome."
(ACB were in those years that the competition system, which changed almost every twelve months, including the so-called correction factor which changed the final standings in the regular season because they did not face all against all . In short, a mess. In It was also the story, elevated to legend, that the historic President of TDK Manresa, Carles Casas , when asked how he saw his team said "We will continue playing and at the end and tell us how we have been Portela." true or not, you never know, the story has been marked forever in the history of the ACB)
A De Colo he should go something like what coach told me that: there had to withstand pressure to be making a fool, and stuck. Of course, if in the end France meets Spain in the quarter, it is likely that in one way or another regret this move.
(BTW: the team's coach told me his experience of playing to lose, he lost that game. They had a fatal, but at least they got their way, as yesterday Greece)
