"In the past, the Croatians were well attacked from afar after the opponents' defense had been nestled around their center players, knowing that it was a task to protect one by one without having to help the partners, and the opponents have not had free shots since During this time, in an attack with Shopron, we used 10 points in the unused cooperation, he managed to give the advantage and dictate the pace of the game

After a big break, we also had an initiative and a strong preponderance until some attacks were too hasty. up good opportunities were not used for fatigue, and opponents approached minus 5 . However, there was no panic and won a victorious victory.

Today, the biggest burden was to resist leaders. Tomorrow will be a holiday that will take a little breath. In the morning, in the center of the city, there is an event for all participants, followed by a training session and a video screening in preparation for Wednesday's match.

The leaders of the Dutch team are pagans and mbades. In defense, it is difficult for them to follow the rapid cooperation of the opponents, therefore, the area is often used using equal forces – by changing, they can not benefit from specific positions. There are a lot of throws in the attack of the ball after the throw of the ball, because there is no clbadic center that could play under the baskets. The style is known, we will try to refute the jumpers of the Dutch team and use theirs. Mood good and determined, two victories have multiplied the confidence and a gazette. "
