“For us the most important thing is defense. This is the DNA of the Greek. We are a very team-oriented team, we are altruistic. I know what my team can do, I was sure they will put on a good performance.
We only see the game we had today. We will rest and think about the match against Egypt. You must quickly forget what you have done. Humility sets us apart as a team. We only have to look at ourselves. I ask all the guys to be aggressive. Our defense was very good.
Giannis is a global superstar. It represents us all over the world and we are very proud. He is open-minded, he loves basketball a lot, he loves his country. He really wants to be here and he really wants to do something with the other guys that we have missed in the last 15 years.
We see that the children are having fun, they are proud to wear this jersey. We are bringing in a man who is a tremendous player, with tremendous leadership qualities. He is very humble. We only look at our team”.
