The 2022 Men's Basketball European Championship officially kicked off, with the opening match being played by Spain against Bulgaria. The difference in strength between the two teams is still very obvious, first of all, Bulgaria still plays well, but Spain feels better, plays very calmly, and the point difference is further widened, leading by 22 points at halftime; In the second half, Spain has been dominating the initiative on the field, Bulgaria has also let go of its hands and feet, and the shooting rate has also improved, but the point difference has been above 20 points. In the end, Spain beat Bulgaria 114-87 and won the opening.
In this game, Spain blossomed and played very well, with up to 7 people scoring in double figures, including naturalized player Brown with a highest 17 points, Willie Hernangomez with 16 points and 6 rebounds, Rudy Fernandez with 14 points, Juan Hernangomez with 13 points and 7 rebounds, Jaime Fernandez with 12 points, Pradelia with 10 points and 5 rebounds, Garuba with 10 points and 7 rebounds; On the Bulgarian side, Vysenkov had 26 points and 11 rebounds, Ivanov had 16 points and Kostov had 13 points.
This time we will focus on Garupa, the Rockets' new star, who also played in the opener, got 10 points and 7 rebounds, and was very active on the court. Garruba gained from the inside, grabbing 2 consecutive offensive rebounds and winning the second offense. He played a total of 18 minutes, 5 of 6 shots, 5 goals and 3 empty cuts, which shows his activity on the field and always being able to tear through the opponent's defense. This time there was a small outbreak, which is also commendable.
Watching Garupa's growth, I believe the Rockets are also very happy, after all, the 7 first-round shows selected in the past 2 seasons have also been a bit slow for Garruba to grow. Garouba's goal for the new season is to be on the rotation list, first of all he has to stay healthy, only then will he get a chance. Garuba and Shin Kyung are completely different attributes, the latter has strong offensive ability, while Garuba is mainly defensive, rebounding ability is also good, that is, the technique is somewhat rough. In the new season, Garruba needs to be patient and wait for opportunities, after all, the team has plenty of insiders, and Silas is also happy and troubled.
