THE Vassilis Spanoulis stood in her victory National Greece On Israel, although the blue whites were very misplaced by the region.
Vassilis Spanoulis was quite pleased with his players in the National Greece game with Israel and at the press conference he stood at how important the victory came despite the low percentage of three -pointers (4/25).
At the same time, he referred to the way John Antetokounbos is treated, but also to the young Alexander Samondurov.
In his initial placement the federal technician reported: “I think we used the game from the first second. We had some moments when we lost our minds mainly defensively. We lost some easy baskets in surprise, but generally controlled the whole game, rebounds, we had good distances and we had a good distance.
I would like to congratulate my players on their philosophy and concentration. Even on our worst day in the shots we found a way to win. And that shows a lot. “
Vassilis Spanoulis then answered the questions of the journalists.
About where the National can reach after it wins in its bad day in the shot: “It is important to win even when the shots are not coming in. This can happen and we are a great team on the shot. Not good, excellent. These days are happening, but we found the way and it shows that we have a character.”
For what he thinks about Lithuania: “Everyone knows that Lithuanian basketball has its own school. It is always competitive, it is a very good team with big bodies in the painter. They know how to play the game and it will be a difficult game.”
For John and the fact that everyone is dealing with Doncic and Marcanen, but not with him: “They chose to play him differently, so he played differently and had fewer assists than previous games. We get what they give us. They give us traps, we have a shooter, they don’t give us traps, we play one against one. I wait for him to put on Yannis and more.
For Samondurov: “To have Samondurov here, he goes to say that I trust him, like all children. I have told everyone to be ready. There are times when a child does not play in one match and play quite a bit. Alexander was ready, mature as always and helped us with both his calm and his rebounds and his defense. He pulled out Physicality. He helped like all the kids today. “
We have experienced players who have played in front of more people than we will see on Tuesday. I do not believe in curses, qualifying for the semifinals, but in good teams and hard work. And we work hard. “
