Several significant events SALTA.-converged last night at the start of the series of friendly games that will support the national team at this stage of preparation for the Olympic qualifiers Mar del Plata, which starts on 30 of the current.

Beyond the comfortable win over Paraguay on 82-56 and the important call for public (about 5500 people) who attended the Delmi stadium, there was Manu Ginobili's return to the team after three years (Beijing 2008) and five non- played in the country. It must be remembered that in previous recent Olympics, the Spurs guard was in full recovery of an injured right ankle.

Another planned return was the basis of Pepe Sanchez, who had dressed for the last time the blue and white shirt in the World Japan 2006, but a slight contraction in both twins prevented it. While coach Julio Lamas was again set on the bank of Argentina after 12 years. His last tournament was in the Pan American Games in Winnipeg in 1999.

Paradoxically, anecdotal is that two basketball players who never lacked in recent years, as Leo Gutierrez and Luis Scola, this time missed the opener against the Paraguayans. Leo is known for its cardiac arrhythmia is coming on Thursday intervened in the Favaloro Foundation and will miss the tournament in Mar del Plata, while the pivot of Houston was reserved for the Super 4 Cordoba, next week, because recovering from surgery on his left knee and would not risk it.

"Its evolution is over schedule and he works overtime to get better. We believe it will go very well for the first match of the tournament," said the doctor yesterday Diego Grippo. The other absentee was Fabricio Oberto. "We decided to preserve one more day to get well of edema in the left adductor. I suppose that tomorrow (today) can play some minutes," he said Grippo.

As the campus is working with 14 players, there will be two Lamas rest to allow test those who strive for a place in the final list. For example, last night, joined by many minutes pivots Juan Gutierrez and Martin Leiva, besides the two power forwards, and Leandro Federico Kammerichs Mainoldi. "Of the four, one will be outside," said the coach. He also served the clash last night to watch a lot of time third baseman Juan Pablo Figueroa and Paolo Quinteros escort, fighting for the other vacancy among the perimeter.

Another positive point was the combination that is ready for the Pan American Games in Guadalajara, and he trained yesterday against the Olympic Qualifying (won Golden Generation of 89-79) had the opportunity to watch the game and share dinner. "This is very good because we try to keep the same philosophy of play. We have the same defensive system and attack the same structure, adapted to the potential of each player," said Enrique Tolcachier, DT who will go to Pan.

As Lamas, who should be responsible for the renovation of the Golden Generation, took dinner to mix the two schools in the round tables for six people. "Van three most and three at each table Pan" was the recommendation. One way to imbue and infect the younger style, customs and codes that made history.
