Larentzakis: “The whole team did very well offensively – We have a lot of room for improvement”

With an outburst in the fourth period, the Hellas overcame her obstacle of Jordanwhich he defeated 92-71 and thus entered the World Cup on the right foot.

The leader of the “blue and white” with 19 points and 3/5 three-pointers was Giannoulis Larentzakiswho stood after the match in the good face of the team but also in the difficult encounters that are coming.

In detail what he said to ERT:

“We made some shots, the whole team went well offensively in the course of the match, we also raised the intensity of the game and found a good rhythm in the shots as well. It is something we are working on and we still have a lot of room for improvement. It was just the first match and we continue. Our team is characterized by the spirit of teamwork, we have good chemistry and we look for free shots. He reads the game, but also what the opponent gives you.

Yes, in the pre-season we were a bit hesitant to shoot, but it is also a period in which the coach does his own tests and the players want to show that they deserve to be here. The official ones are another story. The absence of Dinos (Mitoglou) is certainly important, because apart from being a very good kid, he does many things on the court that modern basketball requires. He plays defense, he has very good hands, he has offense, he has post up. We will miss him, but health comes first. Yes, the next match is against the USA, we will fight against a team that we know is strong and against New Zealand we will give everything because it is a win that we need.”
