Spanoulis: “Yiannis is one of them all, he is not even the… he plays different”

THE Vasilis Spanoulis kept a low profile after the victory of the National Basketball Team over the Dominican Republicwhile praising his players.

“It was a very good game for first in the tournament. We played good basketball, I’m happy with our image on both sides of the floor, but it’s only one win. We move on and look at the next game“, he emphasized and added: “All games are difficult. We see what happens in all the tournaments. Whichever team presents itself as the most… team and understands what it needs to do to win will win the tournament. We take every game seriously».

He said about the coexistence of Kalathi and Walkap: “Calathes and Walkup are excellent characters, very good players and winners. They do a great job on defense and offense. I’m very lucky to have these two guards and this team in general».

Referring to Giannis Antetokounmpo, he said:He loves representing his country. He is very humble, even though he is a superstar. He only cares about winning, he doesn’t care about statistics. He sacrifices himself for the win, if he needs to put up 40 points, he will do it, if less, he will. We have talked a lot together, he has understood what he has to do and how to adapt his game to European basketball. We also made some adjustments, the most important thing is that he has joined the team with a great mentality. He is one of everyone in the team, he doesn’t want to do anything different or play it different. He is here to help the National team, like all of us».
