The three appearances of the national basketball team in the three friendlies ahead of the Pre-Olympic Tournament leave a positive sign, as stated by George Papagiannis on the EEC website.
“We played against very good teams and we were not at the level of readiness that we could have been, but the window of time we had at our disposal was known. We have to prepare even better and see our weaknesses, because we have them. In defense and rebounding we need to be even more careful, while in attack we need to continue the good work with the distribution of the ball. Our first goal is to start the Pre-Olympic Tournament on the right foot“, said the international center.
“The fact that we won the two matches of Acropolis Aegean by large margins does not affect us in any way nor does it make us forget our weaknesses. Our coach points them out with the staff, the players discuss them among ourselves. We know we make mistakes in our game and we are confident that the better we are in the details, the better we will perform in the Pre-Olympic Tournament“, added the ace of Fenerbahce.
His message to the audience of the National Team is one and specific: “We want the Greeks to fill the stadium in every game we play at the “Peace and Friendship” Stadium. We want to qualify for the Olympic Games and we want to celebrate it together».
