Ukrainians will play the second match at EuroBasket 2022
National team defender Ukraine Issouf Sanon spoke about the preparation of the team for the second match at EuroBasket 2022 with the national team Estonia.
“We’re not going to let them run and throw 3s. During their last game against the Italians, it was clear that the Estonians wanted to play at a fast pace. We will try to stop them in our match.”
“In the match with Great Britain, the whole team did what they agreed on. We stuck to the plan and didn’t do anything stupid. In terms of quality, of course, it is difficult to evaluate our performance, because we made a big breakthrough and were ahead throughout the game. The next games will show how ready we are for other opponents.”
In the first match of EuroBasket 2022, Ukraine defeated Great Britain. The Blue-Yellows defeated the opponent by 29 points.
Ukraine will play the next match against Estonia on 3 September. The beginning is at 18:00 Kyiv time.
The Blue-Yellows will also face Italy (September 5), Greece (September 6) and Croatia (September 8) in the group stage. The four best teams from the group will advance to the 1/8 finals.
