EVENT OF THE DAY. BASKETBALL CHAMPIONSHIP TO 4 DAYS LEFT FOR EUROPE City: Alytus, "Alytus-Arena" (5500 spectators) Team: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Macedonia, Greece, Montenegro and Finland CROATIA. TEAM OUTLOOK-Ranking FIBA – 19 Best result at the European Championships – bronze (1993, 1995) COMPOSITION BY SIGHT SCAUT NBA Ultra couple pivot – Stanko Barach (216 cm, 25 years) and Ante Tomic (217 cm, 24). Both are in the sights of NBA scouts, both with ambitions and set equipment, better play in attack than defense. At the point guard position a naturalized American Dontay Draper (180 cm, 27 years). It is time to develop Vista, obtained in the previous two years Boyan Bogdanovich (203 cm, 22 years). Sniper with breathtaking cast and prospects in the NBA. COACH PROGRESSIVE Josip VRANKOVICH so quickly progresses, it seems that he is working with the national team for a long time, though his destination was only three years. I like his style, the desire to play the entire bench. FORECAST I put Croatia in first place in the group, because I think that Croats are able to beat the Greeks in a personal meeting. But in the quarterfinals and this command will not work. BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA. TEAM – NOT PRESENT FIBA Ranking – 47 The best result at the European championships – the second group phase (1993) COMPOSITION OF TWO LEADERS AND YOUTH The two men are striking. Shooting guard Henry Domercant (194 cm, 31 years) and a powerful forward Mirza Teletovich (205 cm, 26 years). With other players in Bosnia is more complicated. Ratko Varda is the center (213 cm, 32 years old) – it's size and experience. There is a powerful striker, Kenan Bajramovic (205 cm, 30 years) – an experienced specialist in rebounding. And add another group of players 85-89 years of birth, who are eager to be seen, to show himself in this tournament. COACH Coach Sabit Hadzic Cool experimented a lot and used a variety of tactical schemes. Very quick response to changing situations on the field and great composure. FORECAST Bosnia Put on the 4th place in the group, but the nerves spoil it all. MACEDONIA. TEAM outsider FIBA Ranking – 47 The best result at the European championships – the second group phase (2009). TATTOO OF Macedonian and Black starting five in the position of the first issue will come out black Macedonian Bo MakKaleb (178 cm, 30 years). Beau amazing speed technology, it obygrysh alone always original and swift, and he can score three. But too short to consistently gain of 20 points per game. Next to him will play the second point guard Vlado Ilievski (187 cm, 30 years) – an experienced, reliable, popaduchy. But if I cast, I would put the play on me Ilievski h, and the position MakKaleba shooting guard. Well, as the center of the start of play pen Antic (210 cm, 29 years) with his unique tattoos. COACH PROVES Play no one likes, but to create in this country, the victorious team is almost impossible, either now or in the foreseeable future. That Marine DOKUZOVSKI and will prove that he knows the coach with a team that writing something God can win a victory in the Championship, which I strongly doubt it. FORECAST 6th place in the group. MONTENEGRO. TEAM GIANT-FIBA Ranking – 75 The best result at the European championships – the tournament debutant OF THE STAR AND GIANT main star of the team is central Nicola Pekovich (210 cm, 25 years), who made his name in Greek, "Panathinaikos." He is one of the most powerful centers in the continent, but that does not mean that technology does not have. All they need to know how tall a player in this century, he knows how. More often he will deliver the ball, Omar Cook (188 cm, 29 years). Montenegrin passport of an American for 4 years. He himself was not averse to score using his speed and shot, but this team had a different role. Radonich uses it not only as a point guard, but also as stoppers. In Cook turns. Let me add Milko Belitsu (205 cm, 27 years, Power Forward). Belitsa very versatile and could be in another team to solo, but in this he plays along and does it at a very high level. I recall that as part of Montenegro will play the highest basketball Championship Slavko Vranesh (230 cm, 28 years). And there are plenty of snipers. COACH Methodist coaches from generation to 40 years – Acts RADONICH I like most. He was well versed in the case, apparently, an excellent trainer, knows how to build relationships with players. I hope he at the beginning of a victorious ways with his team. FORECAST third place in the group. FINLAND. MYSTERY TEAM-FIBA Ranking – 75 The best result for the European Championships – 6th place (1967) COMPOSITION OF NOT blond, but the Finns is the main center Gerald Lee (208 cm, 24). Though he is not blond, but was born in Finland, so that the passport had an all-natural. With him on the ground still leaves veteran Hanno Mottola (209 cm, 35). Hanno became slower, but he's quick and was never. But the cast and send with him. Petteri Koponen main playmaker (194 cm, 23 years) had grown, not in terms of growth, as well as a player. Has become such a reliable point guard, very similar to Tiit Sokka, only red. Henrik Dettmann Laborers COACH – Coach laborer. Many travels around the country, watching the players, a lot of work with them individually. From him, no one expects immediate results. All the same for Finns basketball so much less than football or skiing. I eachtsya that Dettmann able to create efficient and is very disciplined team. FORECAST fifth place in the group. GREECE. TEAM refuseniks FIBA Ranking – 4th best result at the European championships – gold (1987, 2005) THE BEST OF HOMES WERE When lists of Greek national team losing, it is unclear how this team is going to play without their famous leader. At Euro 2011 will not come Papaloukas, Diamantidis, Spanulis, Skortsianidis, Mavrokefalidis, Prentezis. That is, three of the best defender of the country, the two best center of Hellas and two proven reserve on the basketball tournaments of the last Olympic cycle. Say what you will about the rich traditions of Greek basketball, but will still be hard. Who will defend the colors of blue and white flag sunny country? The role of the main center hung on the Costa Kufosa (213 cm, 22 years). Kufos was a partner of Andrei Kirilenko in the "Utah" and now a partner and competitor Timothy Mozgova in "Denver." He is physically strong, diligent, but his attacking arsenal is very limited. Antonis Fotsis attacker (208 cm, 30 years) we are all too familiar, and therefore no secrets to rivals is not. To be fair to say that when Fotsisa will throw, this phenomenon is akin to a natural disaster for their opponents. Available Zurosa is good and the replacement of the front line. But here's the back line is mysterious. On the role of primary point guard Nick nominated Kalates (193 cm, 22 years). Greek, born in the United States, there began to learn the basics of basketball and has received an invitation to the first team, then signed and a contract with "pao". He has much to learn, it is not as robust as Diamantidis, and throw the race in Kalatesa poor. On the position of the second number will be issued another of our acquaintance – the ex-soldier Nikos Zisis (196 cm, 28 years). Nikos and all can be on site, but for this he must be in excellent spirits. The weakest aspect of this player – motivated. And the biggest problem the team – the lack of an adequate substitute for the back line. COACH HOT ZUROS Elias – a young teacher, inexperienced, very hot, a true Greek, ready to explode with or without. But his business and knows the game is actively and attentively. FORECAST second place in the group and absenteeism in the quarterfinals.
