Optimistic news from Dimitris Itoudis after the friendly defeat of the National team against Spain in Madrid (87-80). The federal technician emphasized that their situation is better Slouka and Papagianni who lost the match, as well as John Antetokounmpo. At the same time, he focused on the lost rebounds and the lost shots of the Greek team.
“It’s amazing that we played to a full court again, it means August basketball is here and that’s very encouraging for our sport. Let’s have unity, because people love sport. We tried to see things, we lost the first three quarters by one point and the fourth by four. But we missed 12 shots and that in a close game plays a role. We had some good intervals, but that’s not enough. We were quite nervous and didn’t have the communication that this level requires. We try day by day to become a team. As we become a group we will be able to talk further. We have a lot to fix. Like the rebounds, we were down 10 rebounds in the half and the total of 17 second offense breaks your morale a little bit. I can’t say what percentage we are ready at the moment, I don’t see it as a number. We are not yet complete and this has hurt us. We already have some good news for Slukas and Papagiannis. Our doctor is best suited to talk about this. Giannis had a swelling in his knee and we took care of him. I think that after the off days he will be ready“, he said.
