“Already on August 6, the Basketball national team will start in pre-qualification”, – WRITE: Sport.ua
“These two control games with the Netherlands have shown how we can play. The coaching staff divided the game time between all the players, they watched different five, because we understand that we have not many “big” in the front line. They tested all variations – a double center, light forwards.
I think we will find the necessary keys to win. We all came to win. We have not gone to Eurobasket-2025, so we now have to make every effort to win all these four games. I understand that it will be difficult. You just have to believe in yourself, listen to what the coach says and I hope, everything will work out.
All is well in the national team, almost everyone has gained their condition. They tried to play physically with the Netherlands, they tried to press us with active pressing, but we won the selection in the first match, and a little lost in the second. In every game they tried to give “physics”, because when they played tightly in defense, they had losses immediately, we had tear and light points.
We do not want to show everything we play in training. I think two games in Croatia will be enough for us. I think the coach will give us a little freedom to see in what conditioning we are now, plus to play the connections that are in training.
Young players gradually enter the game process, began to connect them in game moments. Initially, Sushkin and Sipal were given a little rest after a not -so -successful European Championship, to be overwhelmed by their heads, but every day the boys are increasingly adapting, the trainers help them physically and mentally prepare, emphasize at moments in which they still need to add. We veterans help them with tips. Step by step, they move from youth basketball to an adult, ”said Vyacheslav Bobrov.
