The first place in her group was won by Our national team in the SEF Pre-Olympic Tournament, beating me 93-71 of Egypt in the busy SEF.
Somehow, the “official favourite” will be invited to face next Saturday (06/07, 17:30), the Slovenia of Luka Doncic in the semi-final of the tournament, with the qualification to the grand final as the background.
After the game, Mr Dimitris Moraitis spoke to sport-fm.gr and Dimitris Papadimafor the reaction that Greece showed tonight when Egypt approached, but also for the difficult match that follows with the Slovenians, mentioning among other things a Yannis Antetokounmpo’s saying for the Mavericks superstar.
The statements of Dimitris Moraitis in detail:
What we take away from tonight’s performance: “As our coach told us, it was very important, it was a good test for us, even though we started well. When Egypt caught up to us at half-time, it was a very good test of how to react in such situations. I think we reacted well, all the players are ready to give our best. Now we have to write off this game and focus on Slovenia in two days and we have to be ready.”
For Slovenia: “They are one of the best teams in the tournament. As Giannis has told us, he has the most dangerous player of the tournament, Luka Doncic. They’re a tough team, putting up a lot of points, even though they’ve been missing 3-pointers in recent games. We have to pay attention to this part and play hard defense. We have two days to prepare and present ourselves ready.”
On the status of Costa Antetokounmpo: “He had a knee problem, hopefully it’s not too serious because we need him. I wish him well and that he will be with us soon”.
