THE Ergkin Ataman insists on his mind games and again speaks of a different dietary treatment before Giannis Antetokounbosspeaking in Turkey’s training, on the eve of the semifinals with National Greece at Eurobasket.
Speaking to Turkish media representatives, Ergkin Ataman also expressed his desire to conquer the trophy in Eurobasket.
“John attacks running directly to the opponent. We have worked on it. From what I’ve seen, I think the referees were a little hesitant to attach aggressive fouls against NBA stars in previous games. There are two very good groups. The referees should be very careful and accuse fouls without looking at the names, “he said.
As for the defense his team will play against the Bucks superstar, he said: “It’s not easy to limit him, that’s a fact. The important thing is not the points he will score, but the points his team will score. We will focus more on not allowing other players to score. “
The goal for Turkey is gold: “Now that there are four teams left, our only goal is the trophy. We’re ready. We will have no different strategy. We will continue in the same way we were playing to this day, “he noted.
Finally, he referred to the importance of the match for the peoples of both countries. “Tomorrow, millions of people in Turkey will watch television. 7-8 million of Greece’s 10 million residents will also watch television. This is like a derby. But I’m not excited. I have trained many matches like him. If we win, we will also experience the excitement. “
