Year II of Lorenzo Brown as Starting Point Guard and Leading Player of the Spanish National Team
The Spanish National Team’s year II under the leadership of Lorenzo Brown began in Alicante. After confirming his signing with the European champion Panathinaikos, Brown dressed in the warm-up without playing against Italy. However, he took the reins of the team against the Dominican Republic, scoring 14 points and providing 6 assists, the most in both records.
‘Dominicana’ was a good test for Brown, having an elite backcourt
The game against the Dominican Republic was a good test for Brown, who faced an elite backcourt consisting of two volcanic scorers in Andrés Feliz and Jean Montero. Brown did not take long to show that he is the team’s leader, scoring five points from the start and contributing to the team’s success.
"It is important and it will be important," Sergio Scariolo repeated
Head coach Sergio Scariolo emphasized the importance of Brown’s performance, highlighting his ability to lead the team. Spain has no choice but to rely on Brown, who has already shown his value by winning the EuroBasket gold medal.
Brown leads the team
Although Brown has not yet appeared vital in the pick&roll, he appears to be a vital player for the Spanish National Team. His wide range of vision and ability to distribute the ball effectively make him an important asset for the team.
Next steps for the Spanish National Team
The Spanish National Team will face Valencia next, and coach Scariolo will likely experiment with different lineups and rotations. The first idea is to pair Brown with Sergio Llull, Xabi López-Arostegui, and the Hernangómez brothers. However, there is still a question mark surrounding the availability of Álex Abrines, who was crucial in WiZink’s debut against Italy.
