SURVEY The Latvian team is put in full protection from the first minute, especially during active action against the Greek leaders Nikolaos Rogkavopulos (No. 8, first match 32 points) and Nikolaos Arsenopopoulos (n ° 11, 16). From 11:17, Latvians reached half-time in the middle of 27:18 and continued to be in charge almost all the time. True, at 47:39 (21 minutes) and 55:46 (26.), there was also 61:66 (32.). But the next breakthrough at 69:66 regained control, which managed to protect at the big end – 76:70, 76:74. 80:74
BRIEF EXPRESSION At the beginning of the second and third quarters, Latvia took the lead with 8 points in advance and, thanks to good defense work, it also had several opportunities to increase it. However, a hasty decision and a lack of success did not allow an exaggeration and gave the Greeks an opportunity to recover. After all, the winner was separated in the end when Latvia played more collectively and wisely.
LIDER. The error of Arthur Zagrash at the end of the third quarter of the Greeks made it possible to score the fracture during the fight (+6 potential instead of +1), but in the minutes that followed Arthur has rehabilitated in three points, three precise points, an elegant pbadage to Armand Berge and an energetic quest. Greek protection … There are no players who do not fall – important to get up.
TRENER COMMENT Latvian head coach U18 Artur Visockis-Rubenis: "Great team win – each player managed to manage his role in the team . "
We lost a point in one place, we lost points in our own way. At first we were well placed to protect pick n roll but we fell into the aid and one against one. In the third, the poor went back to the defense, the fourth failed to cope with the Greek attack pick roll – his 16th number hit the four shots. But the aggressive action against the Greek number 8, who scored 30 points in the scorers' match against Italy this morning, was justified, but today he remained 15, of which 8 were slaughtered. Kristaps Ķilps and David Vīksne did a very good job
. Of course, during the second half of the year, the defense activity was limited by the burden of the notes of Anrija Mežis and Armand Berķa. It's nice that both went to the end, and even better, Adrian Schnipke and Marc Steinberg worked productively in the defense. This again reminds that the value of the player is not expressed by numbers in the statistics. Of course, we headed for the return of Edward Mezuel to the team.
At crucial moments, we played more aggressively and vigorously defending and fighting for balls. Until dinner we appreciate the win, so we will start preparing the match with Italy. No option will be calculated – each game should try to play as best as possible and improve. "
SITUATION Forecasts for the relative balance of forces in the Ventspils groups will be approved.In Quartet A, after the second lap, the four teams have a victory. , while Latvia, Italy and Croatia will compete, Greece will be over, and there will be two options for Latvians, but in reality the calculation is useless.For the moment, we still do not know how will end the Group B tournament, where there are no leaders or leading breeders (there are also 1 to 2 in 2 runs) .Therefore, the most important task n & # 39; Is not to lose the thread of the game, to maintain health and, as far as possible, not to exaggerate the leaders, so that the eighth day of the final is expected in top form. , this Latvian team can defeat any opponent.
