” Of course, of course “, assures Lorenzo Brown when asked about his desire to participate in the next World Cup with Spain. The American, whose Spanish naturalization had caused a stir before the last Euro, has just confirmed his commitment to coach Sergio Scariolo.
His position thus confirms the words of Jorge Garbajosa, the day after the Spanish triumph: “ Lorenzo is not here for a single Euro. I don’t like people who come to give us a hand before saying goodbye. The idea is that Lorenzo continues with us. A program is for at least three years, the cycle up to the Olympic Games in Paris. »
For the record, the Spanish leaders had called on him because of the injuries of Ricky Rubio and Carlos Alocen, coupled with the international retirement of Sergio Rodriguez. Since then, the first city, which found the NBA floors with the Cavs, is back on its feet.
Faithful to his country and MVP of the 2019 World Cup, the 32-year-old player is thus likely to return to selection for the next world competition. Brown and him, who have already had the opportunity to wear the same jersey, that of Wolves during the 2014-15 season, could thus have to share the lead.
“ I don’t think that will be a big problem. He’s a pass-first guy, and I can do a bit of both. (note: pass and score). I can’t wait to see what awaits us this summer. And I’m ready to get to work », brown posteralso 32 years old, assuring that Sergio Scariolo had created for him something that he could not ” not even imagine “.
Namely a favorable framework in which he knew how to flourish and thus turn his back on other formations. ” A lot of European teams had their eye on me and nationally people got to see this summer what I could do. I had the opportunity to compete against a lot of very talented players, NBA and European players. This opportunity helped me a lot and opened many doors for me. I’m very grateful », Appreciates the leader of Maccabi Tel Aviv.
