Motiegiounas: “The Greeks are cunning and cruel, they use old tricks”

Its center “accused” the National team of using old tricks Lithuania, Donatas Motiegiounas shortly before the crucial match between the two teams (15:40) for the World Cup.

“Itoudis uses some tricks that we also saw in the match against New Zealand. They don’t surprise me. These are old tricks. I know what happened in 2017 at Eurobasket, I was there too. I know how Greece fights and who they are as a team. I think they want to weaken us by mentioning that we are the big favourite“, the 33-year-old ace of Monaco emphasized in an interview with Basketnews and added:

“You can never be sure, it’s a dangerous word. At this stage of the event, there is no certainty. You go 100% prepared, with a plan prepared by the coaches and you have to give everything. Greece has several players who have played again at this level and in such important matches. They know how to play such games. You saw how smartly they played against New Zealand and stopped their quick attacks. After each basket, they touched the ball so that the opponents could not immediately make the rebound, so that they could attack quickly. Greeks are cunning, clever and cruel. It will be a tough battle and we are ready for it.”
