The worst record in history! Goodbye, European overlord! Spanish men s basketball team, what s wrong?

In the final game of the group stage of the European Cup Group C of the Men's Basketball Team, the Greek men's basketball team defeated the defending champion Spanish men's basketball team 90-86. After this game, Greece secured the first place in the group with a record of 4 wins and 1 loss and successfully advanced to the top 16.

letters made a comeback, played for 32 minutes, scored quasi-triple double-digit data with 25 points, 14 rebounds and 9 assists, and performed as the dominant level.

In the previous round, he missed the game against Bosnia and Herzegovina due to rest, and Greece also lost. The final rankings of

Group C are: Greece, Italy, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Georgia, Spain and Cyprus.

In other words, Spain is out.

This is the first time in 88 years that the Bullfighters have been eliminated in the group stage since the first time they participated in the European Championship in 1935.

Spain ranked 17th in this European Championship, which is their lowest ranking in history for participating in important FIBA ​​events (World Cup, European Championship, Olympic Games).

I still remember that in the preview of the European Championship, I said that in the past 6 European Championships, the Bullfighter won three championships and is worthy of the king of Europe.

In the past 20 years, it can be said that from the 21st century to the present, Spain has represented the highest level of European basketball and achieved the highest achievements.

In the five Olympic Games from 2004 to 2020, Spain reached the final twice, once reached the semi-finals and twice was eliminated in the quarterfinals.

That can be a fight with the Peak American Dream Team.

However, this time the European Championship has reached the bottom for Spain.

is not a hindsight. Before the game begins, I can think that Spain's results this year will not be very good.

However, I never thought they could not qualify in the group. After all, this is a game of 6 to 4... Then, they lost to Georgia, which is the most direct reason for being eliminated.

However, this is traceable. In the 6 warm-up matches before the European Cup, the Spanish men's basketball team only achieved 1 win and 5 losses. "Representative Work" is undoubtedly the first time in history to lose to Portugal.

If it is the football world, Spain loses to Portugal, I am not surprised. But this happened in the basketball world, which is indeed beyond the vast majority of people's perception.

不了解情况的很多普通球迷可能会问：“怎么葡萄牙人也会打篮球么？”

殊不知，人家有奎塔（凯尔特人队中锋），人家可以在这届欧锦赛赢捷克、赢爱沙尼亚，小组出线。

Portugal's promotion and Spain's fall have become the most dramatic contrast to the 2025 European Championships.

marks that European basketball officially enters a new cycle of pattern reshuffle.

The former king of Europe faced a huge impact. In the early 21st century, Spanish basketball relied on a complete domestic league (such as ACB League) and club youth training to cultivate a large number of high-level players.

In 2006, Spain won the World Men's Basketball Championship for the first time, marking its official entry into the world's top ranks.

Since then, they have won consecutive silver medals in the 2008 and 2012 Olympics and won the World Cup again in 2019.

But now, in their lineup, there is no Paul Gasol, no bomb Navarro, no Marc Gasol, no Rubio, no Ibaka, no Mirotic, no Ruhr, no Rodriguez, no Calderon...

The magical Rudy Fernandez officially retired after the 2024 Paris Olympics, ending his 22-year national team career, and also symbolizing the end of an era.

At last year's Olympics, Spain did not qualify in groups.

So the trough can be expected, and the team's dynasty will have a period of pain. Except for the American men's basketball team, any team will be "unprecedented".

The brothers Aldama and Hernan Gomez are far behind the predecessors...

This is the inevitable change of the golden generation and the microcosm of the cruel inversion of European basketball.

Everyone can see the talent reserves and strong momentum of countries such as Germany and France in recent years... But more than 10 years ago, they were no match for Spain at all.

In today's wave of naturalization, Spain, a veteran powerhouse that once fought against the American Dream Team, and Spain, which once brought the most regrettable memories of Chinese fans, also needs to rethink the path to go in the future.
