Santi Yusta, an unexpected hero: “A little faith and a little luck”

Santi Justa became the main character plays It’s unreal that the Spanish national basketball team will go down in history. The forward scored six points in four seconds (which he already has “fabrics”) and a triple miracle of four tenths from the end for a gallery of the best works of art. Thus, Spain achieved a second extension in Bratislava. And so Spain began to believe in what would happen next: a victory over Slovakia would bring them closer to EuroBasket.

“I think we played a good first half and then in the third quarter we fell asleep a little early on. They had confidence, the fans were on their side and it was a tough shot in the final seconds, but you have to be there. There was good defensive pressure, I received the ball, shot and scored,” Yusta commented after his triple goal.. He was also the best in the game, with 21 points, 10 rebounds and 19 rating points.

Yusta, who ended up getting slapped by his classmates for being a hero, turns out to be an unexpected hero… or not so much. Because he already showed signs of his potential in the final seconds of the game at his Casademont Zaragoza. For example, against Rio Breogan in the last season of the Endesa League. There, in the entrance, while he was climbing the steps.

And even something more similar back to Bratislava. Because in a collision with MoraBanc Andorra He even forced two overtimes with two more key baskets. One was made from a mid-range head-on shot. Another one, with almost impossible entry.

He had everything against Slovakia. “We had a mentality: we don’t let go, we keep believing until the end and with a little faith and luck we won,” he admitted. In a match that had everything… and in which Spain survived thanks to its level. “It’s better if the victory is at home, and let’s hope that on Monday he can come to us and cheer,” he concluded.
