In a crucial match of Group A in the Olympic men’s basketball tournament today, Spain ultimately defeated Greece 84-77.
Two Spanish veterans, 36-year-old Sergio Llull and 39-year-old Rudy Fernández, both played pivotal roles in the game.
Llull made his mark first by hitting three crucial three-pointers in the first half, helping Spain maintain the lead. In the final quarter, it was again Llull’s drives and playmaking that helped stabilize the situation for Spain.
Rudy Fernández then hit two consecutive three-pointers in the fourth quarter, helping Spain withstand Greece’s strong comeback attempt. However, the veteran had to leave the game due to an injury—we wish him a speedy recovery.
As members of Spain’s golden generation, these two players continue to contribute their experience after key figures like the Gasol brothers and Rubio have stepped back from national team duties.
