In the big question of who is bigger… trouble for his opponents, Giannis Antetokounmpo or Nikola Jokicwas asked to answer Jan Vesely. The Czech center has already faced the Serb and will now find his way into his ’16’ Eurobasket and the Greek Freak.
“Well, haha… Both are NBA MVPs for two straight years. They are two completely different players. It’s not easy with either of them“, said the Barcelona ace.
As for the matchup with Greece and Giannis Antetokounmpo? “There are no easy opponents in this phase anymore. We will rest and go give it our all. This game has nothing to do with last year in the final of the Pre-Olympic Tournament which we easily won. The presence of Giannis Antetokounmpo makes it different, because with him Greece is a three times better team. Our task will be difficult and we know it very well“, he pointed out.
When it was pointed out to him that the Czech Republic had done a good job of dealing with him in 2019, Vesely said: “That was three years ago and now Giannis is on another level compared to then. We should be even better prepared to contain him».
