Despite the significant absences and injury problems that arose in the match, h National our team beat her in the final Netherlands with a score of 74-72 in The Hague thanks to his… orgies Vasilis Toliopoulos, making it “2 on 2” in the EuroBasket 2025 qualifiers.
After the end of the match, the captain of the “blue and white” tonight, George Papagiannis, did her self-criticism for the performance he presented himself, stressing – to his credit – that he did not help Vassilis Spanoulis’ team as much as he himself would have liked!
The Fenerbahce center finished the match with 6 points (3/5d.), 4 rebounds, 2 blocks, but also 3 fouls in almost 24 minutes of participation.
George Papagianni’s statements in detail:
“It was my first game as captain and I’m proud of the win. No game is guaranteed to win. The Netherlands played very aggressively, we didn’t start well, especially in the second quarter we weren’t good, but then we responded and got a valuable win for the continuation of the windows. I don’t want to hide behind my finger, I didn’t help the team enough. Having spent so many years in the national team, I know that I should have a better presence and help my team win more easily”.
