Quino Colom appears before the media after the third training session of the Spanish National Team

His excellent season with Bilbao Basket (next year he will play for Unics Kazan) has allowed the guard to attend the national team's concentration for the first time. Colom fights to earn a place among the final 12 who will go to Eurobasket.

First Training Sessions

"It's my first year and they have welcomed me very well. The atmosphere is good and the training sessions are going very well. There are very skilled people and little by little, we grasp the ideas that Sergio (Scariolo) wants. We improve every day."

Arrival of Pau Gasol

"Just with his presence, the atmosphere is different. He is a player who has won everything and it's always good to have him with us."

Ideas of Scariolo

"Right now, we are working on the basics: how he wants us to defend, attack... I think the identity of the National Team is clear and we don't need to change it."

Teammates

"I have played against almost all of them and I have even been with some, so I knew them perfectly. Here, you realize that they have a lot of quality, capable of doing incredible things."

Initiation Rites

"We have to pay for a dinner, which seems to be a bit expensive... but it's all good. To pay for those things just to be here, it's a luxury, especially with these teammates."

Competition to be in Eurobasket

"It's all good. We all knew what we were coming for. We are professionals and we know that there are 16 players now and only 12 will go to Eurobasket. We have to try to do the training sessions very well to earn a spot."

Going to Eurobasket

"We have to be ambitious and why not? I think we all have our chances."
