against strong opponents should play better in defense / Article

It is difficult to win the game away if the team scores 101 points, Lomažs said after the game. He also admitted that he didn’t have much time to prepare for the match, and he didn’t even know who to prepare for.

“I think we could work better in defense. This was one of those evenings when everyone hit the shots,” Lomažs said. “To win games against such strong teams, you have to play better in defense.”

Lomažs, with 33 points, was the most productive player in the Latvian national team.

The head coach of the Latvian national team Luka Banki, on the other hand, criticized the referees for a separate situation after the match, but admitted that there are a lot of episodes in 40 minutes that determine the outcome of the game, in the end of which everything is decided by one point.

“I think that my players and fans in the stands deserved to see extra time. I really appreciate how my team prepared for the game,” the Latvian national team praised the Latvian national team.

It has already been reported that the Latvian national team lost 100: 101 in the game in Belgrade. The next game will be played by Latvian basketball players on Monday in Riga against Slovakia.

In the qualification group of four teams, the Latvian national team must meet at home and away with each opponent by July 2022. The group’s three strongest teams will enter the second round of qualifying, where by February 2023 they will play six more games with the top three units from another group, taking into account the results of each other’s games. The top three teams in the combined group will qualify for the final tournament, which will take place in September 2023 in three countries – Japan, Indonesia and the Philippines.
