Zouman calls for “wood” with Greece: “Either we do 15 or 45 fouls, they will whistle around 25”

The Israel should face the Greece and Giannis Antetokounbos with hardness in tonight’s match for his ’16’ Eurobasketas the Jovel Zuman.

“This game can go in both directions, even though they have John, Sloukas and Spanoulis as a coach with extensive experience. If we go humble, we do our defensive work and do not respect them too much, the result could be in our favor. We have to keep Greece in a low score. If we keep them at 70-80, it could lead to a closed game and that would be in our favor“Hapoel Jerusalem’s forward stressed.

“We have to deal with John all together defensively, we know his strengths. We need to be aggressive, work properly and not allow him to be so many assists. I believe the referees will whistle 25 fouls up and down, either we make 15 fouls or 45, so we have to go in that direction“, He added.

Referring to Tyler Dorsey, with whom he was a teammate in Maccabi, he said: “I think he’s a very good player and an excellent scorer. He makes a terrible Eurobasket, shoots over 50%. We have to give him as little free shooting as possible. I think you can influence his psychology with good defense. We have good guards. I come to give it all. I will do what the coach and the team need“, He said.
