Area underneath the basket

“Alexander with two heads”, as Łukasz Cegliński of Activity.pl wrotethat is Aleksandrów: Balcerowski and Dziewa, and Dominik Olejniczak, on Sunday did specifically what Igor Milicić questioned of them on Thursday, in the match towards Croatia.

But then Polish the rivals had been Ivica Zubac, basketball participant of the Los Angeles Clippers, and Dario Saricia, participant of the Phoenix Suns. On Sunday the Poles could eventually go ridiculous, specifically as the Austrian mentor did not place the reserve centers into engage in Bayern Monaco Marvin Ogunsipe, and could not choose benefit of Jakob Poell, the 216cm tall typical San Antonio Spurs, and set some compulsion on the young and unwilling Daniel Koeppel or Guylain Mbemba.

Currently in the to start with quarter, our undershooters scored seven, 5 and 4 details respectively. In addition, they picked up balloons, pinned their rivals, frightened them away from the hoops, and even jumped overhead.

Subsequently the dominion ceased, but it was for the rotation that Milicić used in this game. Balcerowski and Olejniczak ended up dropped for extensive minutes on the bench, but Dziewa, invisible in the latest game titles, had the opportunity. And he used it: he scored 15 points, experienced five rebounds, a block and a substantial dunk at the close of the activity. The best participant of the past year of the Energa Basket Liga has eventually shown some potential in the squad.

Kolenda shed

– For the very first time considering that I was a coach, he confirmed he can management items on the pitch. Before that, it was the field that managed him. He has made development, he is doing what we want. It is our hope, he has moved in the suitable course.

In this way, on Wednesday Igor Milicić praised Łukasz Kolenda, reserve quarterback of the national group. On Sunday with Austria, Kolenda denied nearly any praise of the mentor with his attitude of him.

Whilst the 23-calendar year-old basketball participant from Śląsk Wrocław was given several minutes by Milicic to demonstrate himself towards the background of an regular rival, he himself went on average in this match. In the to start with 50 percent he scored zero points, two helps and a person defeat in eight minutes. Bad.

But the figures on their own weren’t the challenge. Coriander – to quote Milicic – was again managed by the items on the pitch. Rivals minimize him out of the ball, half of the ball experienced to be carried out by Aaron Cel or Michał Michalak and ended in defeat or chaotic and unprepared action. A small better in the next 50 %, Kolenda experimented with to perform with crew mate Aleksander Dziewa. Also, many thanks to his superior edge, he had a minimal much more place to engage in. He finished with 4 points and 5 assists.

Jakub Schenk was greater. He scored 6 factors, had a few assists, but intertwined successful steps with lethal choices. Even in the last quarter, when he scored two defeats in a row: to start with he gave the ball to the opponent, and then in a very simple scenario he produced a passing error. But in the last action he magnificently passed the basket to the Nine.

Milicić previously appreciates that they will be liable for the generation in Eurobasket Mateusz PonitkaAJ Slaughter register.

Ponitka, Slaughter and Sokołowski

The Croatian, just after five sparring matches and two points, also is familiar with what the spine of his group will be at Eurobasket. The trio – along with Ponitka and Slaughter – is concluded by Michał Sokołowski.

When they have been on the dance floor in the key roles, ours gra towards the history of the weak, it appeared virtually great. The initially quarter gained 25: 8, the third – after the reserves wasted their prospect in the next, shedding it 11:17 – also gained, just as higher – 29:10.

Our finest trio scored “only” 25 details in complete, but the “+/-” statistic suggests far more. This metric shows how the rating in favor of a person facet through a particular component of the activity, that is, whilst a specific participant was on the pitch.

Ponitka? +34 in 15 minutes. Slaughter? +29 at 1pm. And Sokołowski? +36 in 15 minutes. Entire-mouthed leader.

Aim for the hundredth time

– Am I a single of the most experienced players in the squad? The next youngest player, Jarek Zyskowski, is 5 yrs younger than me, so I imagine so! – Aaron Cel, 35-year-outdated winger from Twardych Pierników Toruń, laughed at the begin of the pitch.

Currently Cel, who played his 100th global match towards Austria, is nonetheless the oldest, but not so definitively, mainly because AJ Slaughter, who is a couple of months youthful, has joined the squad. However, he is continue to extremely vital. With Austria he scored 6 points in 14 minutes, but that wasn’t the most important point. With Objective, anyone added benefits on the pitch: a participant from Toruń introduces peace, order to the workforce and makes place for his friends.

And at the Eurobasket in Prague – which will be his “last dance” in the countrywide workforce and to which he is preparing as a participant called up in an unexpected emergency – he could establish to be a important determine of this crew.

This is the close of the checks, listed here we are!

We performed with Austria for details and promotion to Eurobasket qualification in 2025, but it was basically the final sparring right before traveling to the Czech Republic. On September 2nd we will open up our participation in the European Championship with a match with the hosts. The time for rehearsals is over. It is time for the examination.
