(Riga, 9th) Without plans A, B, and C, Lithuania must deal with Greece with the clearest and firm plan.Antetokounmpo”Antetoconpo!
The European Men’s Basketball Championship is about to ignite, and the traditional power Lithuania will face Greece, led by NBA star Antetokounmpo.
Before the game, Lithuanian coach Kurtinetis “put a high hat” on Antetokounmpo in an interview, praising his achievements and greatly applauding his ability to adapt to FIBA events.
“He is a very good player and has won the NBA’s annual MVP. He has learned how to play FIBA basketball, which many NBA stars cannot do. Just like the United States also had a lot of trouble when facing Serbia in the Olympics. He was really hard in the first few years of international games, but now he has performed quite successfully.”
As for how to defend Antetokounmpo, Kushuai said: “Someone said that if you have three plans A, B, and C, nothing will succeed. What you need is a clear plan and insist on implementing it. If it doesn’t work at the beginning, you have to grit your teeth and hold on. We have already made a plan and you will see it soon.”
After reaching the quarterfinals, Lithuania and Greece both had 5 wins and 1 loss in this European Championship, which was comparable, and the outcome of this match was unpredictable.
German team confrontationDoncic
In addition, the two former champions Germany and Slovenia’s top eight confrontation is also regarded as a German team vs. Doncic’s one-man team. German striker Thiemann stressed that Doncic’s performance is still amazing, but basketball is still a team sport and will work together to protect him.
Doncic showed strong offensive firepower in this European Championship, including a 42-pointer against Italy in the top 16 matches, and averaging 34 points per game. Only Greek legend Gallis surpassed this record in the past European Championship history.
Germany has scored 100 in 4 of the past 6 games, and 7 teams have averaged 8.5 points, making it the team with the most average offensive firepower in this year’s European Championship. It will form a team with the team and superstars in the round of 8 games against Slovenia.
“Doncic is an excellent player, he is talented, and it will definitely be difficult to play with him; but basketball is still a team sport, we must work together to prevent him, and we must have the best defense against the battle of Slovenia.”
In addition to the above games, the other two top eight games are Türkiye vs. Poland and Finland vs. Georgia.
