It requires constant vigilance and attention National team tonight’s game against Egypt (21:00) for the Pre-Olympic Tournament, as pointed out by Vassilis Spanoulis’ partner on the Greek bench, Kostas Charalambidis.
“Egypt is a team that has some benchmarks in their game, so they can cause you problems. They play a lot of post, both with fives and fours and they have players who can score from inside the racket or create situations.
On the other hand, they also have some dangerous shooters and we have to pay a lot of attention to how we operate defensively, in order not to give them easy shots.
Metvali, Djedi, Mahmoud and El Sheikh, are quality athletes, their game has direction and goals and their style resembles European basketball in the way they want to execute.
We have to be very careful defensively and in our attack, to read their defense correctly which they change in different formations, so we have to be constantly alert on how to operate based on the defense they are going to use every time.
I believe the game will be decided purely by the way we approach it both defensively and offensively».
