The statements of Giannoulis Larentzakis in detail:



About the game against Poland and the appearance of the National Team: “After the first quarter we showed our true selves, that we should play defense and found some easy baskets on offense.

It’s still early, it’s the first game. A week ago we still had obligations with our teams. I think that with time we will be better.”



For the way the National Team played today with a fast tempo and many three-pointers: “For sure, Giannis will also come, with whom we want to play at a high tempo. I think the three-pointer is important, that’s where basketball has gone. May we have many possessions and good fortune”.

For the Acropolis: “We have quite a few good games. We all know what the Acropolis tournament means. I think that game by game there will be improvement. It is a harbinger for the pre-Olympic.”
