Answer to National they are preparing us for tomorrow’s (30/8, 15:40) “final” with New Zealandwith his direct partner Dimitris Itoudis, Stefano Triantafyllosto make statements ahead of the crucial match.
After emphasizing that the players are ready to match the toughness of their opponents, he insisted that the “blue and white” have prepared for such games, while clarifying that the participation of Thanasis Antetokounmpo remains doubtful.
In detail what he said:
“The three-pointer is a part of the game, but not the only problem. We first have to deal with how physical they are, they play very hard, sometimes unsportsmanlike. We have to match this toughness and I believe this will give us the result. We believe we are ready, it is a piece we have invested in from day one. We have such players and because the match is of special conditions, a final, everyone will give that extra that is required.
There are always points of reference in the teams, we can also distinguish Delaney in the ‘4’ position and the peripherals, who are very aggressive, as well as Liafa who is a very good shooter. Yesterday’s game has nothing to do with it. We came here to give finals, the game against USA was not like that. We have not dealt with USA at all, we only deal with New Zealand. Thanasis will be re-examined tomorrow, we don’t have a clear picture. His desire to compete is a given, but we still don’t know”.
