Clear lead in Greece for his final Pre-Olympic Tournament against Croatia was scored by Roko Leni Ukic. The veteran playmaker, who played for Panathinaikos and AEK, analyzed the match in Croatian Media.
“Greece is of course the favorite, they are the most convincing team not only in this Pre-Olympic Tournament, but in all“, emphasized the Croatian former international and added: “We know they have one of the three or five best players in the world for the last ten years. He’s certainly not in the best shape, having played in few games after three months, but he put up 32 points without missing a shot. They have big bodies, they can defend in all kinds of ways and certainly Zubac and Saric will not have the same size advantage that they are used to. That’s why we will have to be more accurate from afar to win or initially be competitive. Hezonia is the most capable in this part and hopefully he will be on a good day if we want to be realistic. We haven’t seen that yet in this tournament. He’s played defense, he’s rebounded, he’s scored, but we’ve yet to see a performance like the one he had against Brazil with 39 points. But I think he has that kind of game in this tournament.”.
