THE Greek coach will replace him Ergin Ataman on his bench Panathinaikou AKTOR in his game Kaunas for the 11th matchday, thanks to his presence Turku on her bench national team of the country of for the fight with her Hungary at qualifiers of Eurobasket 2025.
Thus, his position head coach will have Christos Sereliswho according to departure of the mission of “green” for the Lithuaniareferred to her dynamics Zalgiris.
Specifically, the Greek coach spoke about:
The match against Zalgiris, which has learned to win by spoiling the opponent’s game: “We expect a very tough defensive game from Zalgiris. In essence, she slows down the tempo a lot, has too many different options in her defense and during matches. She plays very hard at home. We have to be very ready for a physical game, we have to read her defense, because coach Trinchieri changes a lot of defenses during the games. From there, let’s play our game in attack, we have very quality players, to be able to do the double”.
Where the game will be judged: “I think that we will adapt as quickly as possible to the pressing defense and the different defenses that Zalgiris will have during the match. This is very important and the second most important is to control our defensive rebounding, because Zalgiris is one of the best teams in offensive rebounding. Even when he misses some shots, he renews a lot of attacks and I think he will play a very big role in controlling the defensive rebounds.”.
Lonnie Walker and if there is a plan to deal with him: “He is a very good player, with a lot of attacking talent, but, as we have seen, the Zalgiris team has character. Her character doesn’t change. He played 3 games, in the two he wasn’t good he narrowly lost, in the third he theoretically lost a little easier. I think he is a very talented player, we should not let him find his rhythm, but I don’t think one player changes the game of the team.”.
That he will remember what it’s like to be a head coach: “Okay, I’ve been a coach for many years, so I don’t think I’ve forgotten it, we’ll see tomorrow”.
