For Lavrio’s game at the home of AEK (7/10, 17:15), for the 1st matchday of the Basket League, spoke Kostas Mexas.
The coach of the Lavreotiki team emphasized that it will be one very difficult match, both because of the strengthening of the “Union” who wants to change the level, and because the match will be away from home.
His statements in detail:
“We start the championship in a very good mood, with the desire to present something beautiful in terms of basketball, which will be liked by the fans of the team and not only. Obviously it’s early for all teams, as of course for ours. Especially for us who have kids who are playing professionally for the first time and are now learning how basketball is played in Europe. We are here to support and help them.
The game with AEK has a high degree of difficulty for two reasons. Firstly, because AEK has acquired players this year who have careers in the NBA and the Euroleague and clearly wants to change the level, and secondly, because we are playing at home. In games like this, with such quality opponents you have to control the pace of the match and this will happen firstly through our defensive function and secondly through our accuracy and the right choices.
It is not easy to combine all these, but we are confident in the work we are doing and we hope to present a competitive face”.
