Two days ago, our national team suffered its first defeat in this year’s event, losing 80-77 to Bosnia. Without Giannis Antetokounbos and Giannoulis Larentzakis, who were chosen to protect but will normally be available tonight, Vassilis Spanoulis’ team paid many mistakes and lost defensive rebounds, since despite the counterattack he did not go into the final.

Thus, tonight’s game with the weakened compared to previous events, but always more than a complicting power, Spanish, has taken the final position in the first place of the group. For its part, Spain is in third place with a record 2-2after being defeated at its premiere by Georgia (83-69), and then defeated Bosnia (88-67) and Cyprus (91-47), before losing Italy (67-63).

As for the scenarios, in the event of a victory, as we wrote above, our National will end in the first place of the group. In the event of a defeat, however, the… messes come, as it can end in either second or fourth, which will mean that its subsequent path will make it difficult.
It will be second if its defeat is combined with Bosnia’s victory over Georgia, and if Georgia is the one to win, then our national team will end fourth.
“The final is not the match with Spain, because if we lose we are not excluded. But it’s a very important game for us, we want to win it. As the premiere was very important. They will be all the kids ready and we will be properly prepared for this game »Vasilis Spanoulis said, among other things, with tonight’s match, with Kostas Papanikolaou adding: “It’s a trap to see the game differently than you need. It’s a first -place game and that says it all. Regardless of prehistory or anything. We want to win to be first, there are no revenge games here, nothing. They are two teams that will fight for victory ».
The most recent meeting of our national team with Spain was last summer for their Olympic Gameswhen we had been defeated with 84-77 for the first phase of the group.
