The most important for us: The Poles defeated in the inaugural match 68:64 Bosnia and Herzegovina. It was not a good match in the execution of Poles were only good moments, but most importantly, they have managed to win. Bosnia before the tournament was quoted lower than white and red, so the team coach Mike Taylor made a plan. Not without problems, but has done.
key actions of the match: would like to write that spurt 26: 8 at the turn of the second and third quarter, but in the end the Poles squandered a high advantage. Therefore, it was crucial free throws in the final seconds. Adam Waczyński and A.J. Slaughter is not wrong even once – the first hit twice with running 64:61 for 13 seconds before the end of the second set the scoreboard two well-aimed throws seven seconds later.
Polish quote of the day: – For EuroBasket basketball does not have to be beautiful, here the point is that it was a winning basketball – coach Mike Taylor.
Hero: Matthew Ponitka. 22-year-old winger scored 13 points, five rebounds, six assists and two steals, played przebojowo, versatile, equally good in attack and defense. In many situations a powerhouse team. In hitting important shots he did not prevent his wrist injury from the second quarter. – Gentlemen, we are at the EuroBasket. There is no need to cry, here you have to play – he said after the game when we asked him about the injury.
How played Marcin Gortat? He scored 10 points (4/10 from the game, 2 / 4 free), seven rebounds (one attack), three assists and three fouls and losses. In addition, when he was on the floor, white-red lost this part of the difference of one point. Gortatowi be accused of too little aggressiveness in the game, the first half had a few moments to show his strength rivals, but instead chose spectacular dunks kicks on board. On the plus certainly an overview of the field – his assists to shear under the basket Ponitki and Damian Kulig – first class.
Hero 2 Adam Waczyński. He scored the most points for Polish – 15, but equally important is when they won. In the 14th minute as the first – after nine boxes of the team – he hits three-pointers and started to play better piece band. In the 30th minute again hit three-pointers, which interrupted a series of Bosnians point. And in the last seconds made no mistake at the free throw line.
An interesting statistic: Six minutes he spent on the court reserve podkoszowy Aleksander Czyz, the Poles won 11 points, which was third best indicator Ponitce after Matthew (16) and AJ Slaughterze (13). Did entered the field midway through the second quarter, he showed a tough, dynamic, tenacious defense. Do not scored a point, had two collection and assistance, but really helped the team.
Who we play tomorrow? with Russia. Staff white-red-watching her lost 73:76 match with Israel, but too many new things about Sunday’s opponent does not know. The Russians have good players on the perimeter and strong podkoszowych, but without Timofey brains and Sasha Kauna are not so strong. They lack assertiveness, do not run to attack, get lost on the curtains because they are very free – they were used against the Israeli players. The best in the first match played coming back after an injury, Andrei Woroncewicz from CSKA Moscow (15 points, 13 rebounds, five assists), 15 points added Dmitry Chwostow.
