Russian basketball team did not show an outstanding game in the game for victory against Iran, but the team Zoran Lukic great potential, former national team head coach told Sergei Elevitch .
The meeting, held Wednesday in Perm, ended with a score of 71:57 (21:14, 12:12, 16:13, 22:18) in favor of the Russians. Among the winners, Alexander Shcherbenev became the most productive player with 12 points.
On Monday, the Russian team also beat the Iranian team – 72:59.
– Our guys in this game, of course, tried, but I haven’t seen anything special yet, something exceptional in their game. And yet it’s normal. The youth that is now united in our team is for a long future: for 6-8 years. And that’s great. Our team has great potential. If we face a team now, it will set the tone for everyone later. In two or three years, all these suspensions will end anyway, and we will already be able to play on the international scene. And these friendly matches that we are currently organizing are very useful.
Also, of course, I wish we had a good center. Martyuk? Good player. But he’s still more than number four. Personally, I see him in this position. He works very well on the pitch, he has a good attack, excellent passing.
As for the composition of the Russian national team, we must not forget that in Spain we have young players Yegor Demin and Pavel Savkov. They are talented guys. Also, of course, we have to cement the team on the situation under the rings. There should be basketball players who are friendly with this playing area. In principle, we should have a very good team,” Yelevich told a correspondent.
