Larkin: “I am waiting for a great deal of intensity – one of the best in the world by John”

All of us count in reverse for her big game National us with the Turkeyagainst a backdrop to the big final of this year’s Eurobasket!

One of the protagonists of the Turkish team, Shaine Larkinhe spoke in the face of the great match, stressing that he and his teammates are ready to face both John and the rest of the “weapons” of the National, adding that he was expecting a high -intensity match!

Larkin’s statements:



For the NBA and its course there: The NBA is about the opportunity to be given and to be in the right place at the right time. In my years there I can’t say if it was the right time for me. I had opportunities to come back, but I found my house in Efes and it would have to be something great to leave. I am very happy for the last seven years and I am to stay ».

For what he would say to his younger self: “Maybe he will enjoy it more. I put a lot of pressure on myself when I was a kid. In the first round of 20 years, I broke my ankle a week later, and then I put a lot of pressure on me. The point is to have fun every moment, whether you’re in the NBA or playing any basketball match. Play for joy and love it ».

To deal with our national and John: “We are ready for the challenge. It is one of the best in the world and it is not easy to stop it as you play. We are also a very good team, we also have players who can make the difference. We have to do our best for stopping them, and they are the same. Will be difficult for both of them ».

It is confident you have to have at this level. We know how we should be presented to beat such a game. We have a coach and players with so much experience in big games, as do the rest of the teams ».

For National Agents outside John: If you see both teams, you will see that both have many top -level players. I think Greece has 7-8 Euroleague players who play many minutes, have gone to Final 4, have won trophies. There is a lot of talent in both groups, so many can stand out ».

“Everyone knows everyone’s strong weapons after so many games. Now you have to fight for every ball, every possession, watch every detail and win. “

Whether he feels a derby atmosphere before Greece-Turkey: “You can’t understand it until you press the parquet. I have been playing in Turkey for seven years, I have faced Olympic and Panathinaikos many times in playoffs or Final 4, always the atmosphere is electrified. When it comes to national teams, it has more to do with pride, so I think it will be as in club races, but with a little more tension. “.
