Deporte Mundial

Via as.com
- Champion of the world, Olympic silver medalist and with a career already done in the European elite. Will this experience help or there will be some jealousy from your young teammates?

- Everything can happen but I do not think I´ll have a problem because of that. I do not concentrate on what the others do and I think that they will not do it either. Everyone is going to do his work the best they can for his team. Period.

- You already were in the United States at the rookies campus. What is what more impressed you?

- The media display that the NBA generates in the whole world. There were cameras waiting for me in the airport when I came to New York. I was very much surprised. Perhaps in this aspect there is slightly more pressure.

- Who has traveled with you to Portland?

- In the first month my mother. Later they will come in some friends and relatives; I do not believe that I´ll feel alone.

- Will your fiancée travel also to the United States?

- No.

- When your new coach, Nate McMillan, said that he had not slept after he watched you playing the Olympics because you looked like something extraordinary, what do you think?

- That I am very much grateful to him for his words because they have helped me very much, it has given to me more impulse because I see that he trusts on me and this can give me what I wish the most: playing time.

- Will Sergio Rodríguez help you in your adaptation to Portland?

- The first days I will have a translator next to me in the city. Surely Sergio will help me very much; also, we understand very well each other since childhood.

- You don´t like very much living in a city far from the sea, really?

- Really not. I have always lived next to the sea and it will be a little difficult, but I have to adapt myself to everything. It happens also with the English language, but I have a teacher who teaches me and I hope I´ll learn rapidly.

- The winters are hard there, with a lot of cold and snow, and the summers of a lot of heat. Does you turn out to be acclimated?

- Also they say that it rains very much. These changes harm the body but I hope to get acclimatized to everything; My wish for playing will make me overcome the disadvantages.

- Some go and others return. Marc and you are already in the NBA and Garbajosa and Navarro back in Europe.

- To play in the NBA has always been a dream for me, but I do not think that to return to Spain is a step backwards. This possibility always exists.
