THE Pantelis Butskosone of his direct collaborators Yuri Zdovtsanalyzes the German team and the battle it has to fight PAOK in the Volkswagen Halle on Wednesday.
What Butskos said in detail:
“With a lot of excitement stemming from our winning streak in Greece and Europe, we go to Germany for an extremely important game for our qualification to the next stage, against Basketball Lowen Braunschweig. A team also undefeated in our group, now, with the return of the absences it had at the beginning of the season, finding its rhythm, scoring over ninety points on average in the FIBA ​​Europe Cup.
Nije’s great effectiveness in transition gameas a constant vertical threat to the basket, is a priority for our defense. With his ability to penetrate, he also creates the conditions for very quality shots for gifted shooters like Zylka and Sherfield. Another point of reference is the versatile play of forwards Scuka and N’Guessan both near and far from the basket, while our familiar Obiesie makes his own step up to a role with a higher leadership level.
We are in the middle of a particularly demanding season with back-to-back away tests where the team is called upon to show their character. The greater the challenge, the greater must be our motivation. The way the team has react under pressure, it helps us to build deeper relationships of trust, and to go one step further each time. It is the moment when we have to push ourselves to our limits, to get a victory that will pave the way for the qualification to the next phase».
