A breath away from the finals of
the Olympic Games is the National Women s Women and the National Men,
who easily dominated China and Russia respectively to qualify for the
semifinals.
Forty minutes
The Women (remembered travelling to Samsun as European champions) dominated China s 64-51, with an excellent offensive in the first season and a terrible outburst in the third. Cocaine (21st, 4hrs), Hainas (7th, 5th, 10th, 4th), Father (10th, 7th) did a terrible job, with the team forcing the Chinese into 28 mistakes. Excluding Y. Tong who had 19 points, no player in the opposing team had a double-digit number in the attack.
Italy s next opponent, on Thursday (27/7, 13:30), to qualify for the final of the tournament, where the winner of the Ukraine-Lithuania couple will participate. We recall that the Lithuanians had been found in Greece and last year, in the final of the Eurobasket held in Thessaloniki.
The ten minutes: 26-20, 32-30, 54-40, 64-51
GREECE: Hainas 7 (1), Sarakatsani 9 (1), Agagiotou 4, Kotsirea 3 (1), Spinou, Melini, Veranis 4, Voudouri 6,
HERBAL NIKI AND FOR MEN
The National Deaf of the Men, who prevailed (71-61) in Russia one day after the heavy defeat by the Lithuanians, also made a great appearance. Raphael Petalas, who was resting in the previous game, made a difference with 21 points and 4 rebounds in the 35 minutes that he played, while Pangratis, Stoklas, Tasioulis also helped. The throttle that set our representative band in the second quarter built a small difference that was enough to be handled by the internationals until the finale of the showdown.
The next opponent is Lithuania Thursday afternoon (27/7, 16:00) against the background ticket for the final. National Greece was defeated yesterday (73-40) by the team, but it did not have the top player (Petala) and did not really deal with the difference. The match will be different.
The ten minutes: 15-13, 40-31, 57-48, 71-61
GREECE: Kokkinas, Erinakis, Sktraklas 11, Tassioulis 12 (3), Tetros, Grilis 5 (1), Aptosoglou, Dikoudis 7, Tsagaroulis 2, Pagkratis 13, Petalas 21 (2), Dertilis.
