They will lead the national team in the coming years; Moisés Andriassi is another young player who is doing very well. Good things are coming for Mexico, and that’s the most important thing, renewing our national team,” he commented.  “We need to work on our interior game, which has been lacking in these two windows, and that’s where we’ve been hurt, but other than that, I’m satisfied with what the guys have done because with what we have, we’ve competed against teams like the Dominican Republic and now Canada,” he added.  Also of interest: The Diablos Rojos defeated the Halcones de Xalapa in Game 2 of the LNBP Grand Final  The Second Window resulted in a victory over Nicaragua and a close loss to Canada, a high-level team that Mexico put up a strong fight against.
