Valdis Vonds, president of the Latvian Basketball Association: "The national team has reached the target set in the first stage, got good positions for the future roadmap of the World Cup Final Arsen Vecvagars
" NOVEMBER: 1-1 We knew it would be a good time to do without the NBA, and also to be able to do the same thing. The Euroling club players, but for the first matches Mārtiņš Meier was not present and before Roland Shmits escaped to Turkey, Turkey did not face aggressive and aggressive competition . Pain, I There has been a lot of interest in the environment of Turkish clubs, which has now found an agreement with the Darling Faka Euroleague team
FEBRUARY: 1-1 Compared to November, Meyer came here, but Ojārs Siliņš and the main players was far from the best: Aigars Šķēle had missed a week of injury because Žanis Peiner was sick and treated with antibiotics. Already in the November games, there was an aggressive defensive player who could be responsible for neutralizing the rival's leader. Arti Ati of VEF Riga, who was unfortunately not at his best mid-season, was the best judge.
We played two games in Riga and the first, with Ukraine, was the worst of this tournament. We did not deal with the Ukrainian team leader Jeter and the center players, the attack was very unstable. It has been confirmed that with three workouts, there is a lot to do to create a team game. In the second round, we showed the best performance in the second half of the second match. A tactical change in defense was justified against the Turkish team, given the first gaming experience. Rihards Lomažs performed successfully. I know her well since the junior rivals, but most likely, the performance of her opponents was a surprise.
JUNIOR: COMPOSITION. The team was joined by four top players – the Bertani brothers, Janis Strelnieks and Ojars Silins. In turn, Aigars Šķēle informed that he felt physically and emotionally drained and could not help in this position. For the first time, I invited Arti Ati and I am very happy for their contribution to this series of games. It was he who, at the beginning of the game, did not allow Gadefosh and Gladiram to reverberate – this affected all the progress of the game. After a two-year break, Kaspars (Vecvagars) returned to the unit. For the first time, Arturas Žagaras participated in the training, which was very involved in the joint work and successfully played against Belarus. However, his participation in the official battles should not be unrestrained, because the player must still be defeated physically to play fully not only in attack but also in defense.
JUNE: PREPARATION. Some of the players used the opportunity to coach individually, there was more time for team training. Both test games were very useful – for the closed spectators in Belarus and the "Arena" with Russia.
JUNE: GAME WITH RUSSIA. Of course, we wanted Russia to win. We were trying to let the leaders play their rhythms. As a result, the rotation of the guards was minimal and, for example, Vecvagars stayed away during the first half of the year. The plan was justified during the match, but in the end everyone was bothered by Jānis Strēlnieks' comments and Daira Bertana's injury. Interestingly, after a series of attacks, the ball was well played, but did not waste good positions. There was some confusion in the final minutes, but the loss was very useful and helped prepare for the official matches. Of course, at that time we were able to send Vecvagar Square, but the involvement of all the game at the back of the bench is still risky and can be used at the next match. It was expected that Caspare would relieve Sagittarius in Stockholm, and that was also done.
JUNE: THE TEAM SPIRIT The most disappointing incident was the injury of Daira Bertana. Although we knew that he would not be able to play, we offered Dairy to go to Stockholm and Kiev, and he called to be with the team. He played an important role. As the captain of the team, the authority of John Blum, even though he was unable to help Janis at the moment because of health problems.
JUNE: 2-0. We played with very different opponents in terms of style and experience, but the common thing was that in both games almost every 40 minutes were controlled by the game. The game in Kiev was the best for us – a high quality defense, a patient and diversified attack.
JUNE: LEADERS AND TEAM. Janis Strelnieks played a lot, but also in Stockholm and Kiev, and all those who went to the square or who supported the team on the bench played a decisive role in the contribution.
EDUCATION. Thanks to my badistants Yevgeny Kosushkin and Artur Visockim-Ruben, as well as to the physical condition and medical staff who have done their homework professionally. As far as I know, the players were very happy. Thanks also to the management of LBS, who solved the players' insurance problems and provided good conditions for the job.
FUTURE: EXPLORE Currently, in the second stage group, we are in 3rd place, which opens the door to the World Cup, in addition to the success of the Ukrainian team is a preponderance in the amount of mutual games. However, half of the tournament is still ahead of us and it is unclear in which structure we will be able to lead decisive battles.
FUTURE: SEPTEMBRIS Davis Bertan badured that while he remained at the San Antonio club, he saw no obstacle to playing with Slovenia and Spain. A similar commitment was expressed by the former players of Euroleague clubs who remain in their teams. Let's try to make the most of the opportunities that will open up to the team, playing in an almost perfect composition.
FUTURE: EFFECTIVE Good news for Latvian basketball, bad for the national team: next year, three of our basketball players will play in the Eurovision: Rolands Schmitz, Anjijs Pacečnik and Žanis Peiner. If relations between Europe and FIBA are not organized, they will not be available in November and February. A small hope room is the creation of the European Players Association: we know that players are happy to play in national units, and a common position can have an impact on clubs and Eurolines. But it's already beyond my sphere of influence. Whatever the case may be, my task was to gather the best basketball players available at that time and fight for victory in every game.
FUTURE: RESERVED. We have involved 20 players in six parts – the range of candidates is quite wide. The investment was varied, but it's not always precisely characterized by numbers in statistics. Taking into account the problems mentioned above with the involvement of the leaders, the backers have good opportunities and some have used them. For example, basketball players who ranked seventh or eighth in their clubs entered the national team and helped win important victories. However, it is important that not only our best basketball players do good business, but also that they be the leaders of our clubs this season and that they be at the decisive moments of the team. "
