A team with quality, but also weaknesses that must be addressed National team always starting from the defense characterized Croatia o Diamantis Panagiotopoulos. His partner Vasilis Spanoulis analyzed tonight final of the Pre-Olympic Tournament (21:00).

“Croatia is a team with quality, talent and clear and distinct roles. It has main creators from the post game Saric, mainly as a creator and Zubac as an executor.

It is a team that tries to control the pace through the presence of its tall players in the racket with various formations and from there there is Hezonia, who has something different and the execution in transition game and in pick n’ roll situations and iso.

Smith is a guard who also showed in the game against the Dominican Republic that he can provide solutions, an athlete who can offer something different to his team.

We, for our part, have to show our well-known defensive face, press the balls too hard to not allow the opponent’s creation to reach the post.

Our basic principle is always to be defensive and from there, try to run and open the field to attack.

The Croatians have some weaknesses and we will try through our offensive function to take advantage of them to reach our goal”.
