The great time of our National team has arrived!
After the highly positive sample presented by Hellas in its three pre-season friendlies in the previous period, tonight (9:00 p.m., sport-fm.gr, ERT1 enters the battle in SEF pre-Olympic tournament.
Against her, his team Vasilis Spanoulis will find her premiere at the tournament Dominican Republicwhich, yesterday, prevailed with relative ease 90-77 of Egyptin the opening game of the Pre-Olympics, taking the step required to qualify for the semi-finals.
The only goal of the representative group of our country is none other than to conquer the event in front of its audience, taking the coveted ticket to the Paris Olympics. The last time the National Team was in the final stage of the Olympic Games was 16 years ago, in Beijingwhen he took 5th place with a 3-3 record.
By Giannis Antetokounmpo getting playing time in the last friendly against the Bahamas for Acropolis, showing how he is in good form, the ‘official favourite’ looks ‘armoured’ and ready to go all the way, full in all positions. In fact, Spanoulis has managed in a short period of time to pass the philosophy of the players, playing a fast basketball, with a lot of ball movement, a lot of running and a lot of three-pointers.
In the competitions, our national team does not face injury problems, as a result of which Vassilis Spanoulis has everyone at his disposal.
The mission of Greece: Thomas Walkap, Giannoulis Larentzakis, Dimitris Moraitis, Vassilis Toliopoulos, Nick Kalathis, Panagiotis Kalaitzakis, George Papagiannis, Vassilis Charalambopoulos, Kostas Papanikolaou, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Costas Antetokounmpo and Dinos Mitoglou.
For the Dominican Republic now, the country’s federal technician, Nestor Garcia, it counts two very long absences, as the Karl-Anthony Towns and Horford, causing him to lose two of his most important weapons. Chris Duarte will represent the country’s NBAers, while Feliz and Montero are two dangerous parameters of the team’s team game. A set that relies quite a lot on its guards, playing quite an iso game, relying on the personal actions and capabilities of the players.
The Mission of the Dominican Republic: Chris Duarte, Victor Liz, Eloi Vargas, Jean Montero, Andres Feliz, Antonio Peña, Andres De Leon, Antonis Enriquez, Angel Nunez, Luis Santos, Miguel Simon, Eddie Polanco.
As far as the prehistory of the two countries is concerned, the National counts a win in their only meetingwith the “blue and white” winning 87-75 in a friendly match held in August 2019.
