Portugal Team News

With the victory over Hungary in the second round, Portugal stayed in the game to advance. They have a difficult task ahead of them because they are going to the host Poland, which does not have a single defeat in this pre-qualification cycle. In the first round, Portugal caused big problems for the national team of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and they were in the lead in the first half, but they lacked the quality and width to win. They beat Hungary very easily and showed once again how much basketball is developing in Portugal.

A big boost is Travante Williams, who brings great security under the basket. He scored 19 points against Bosnia and Herzegovina. The great quality of Portugal is in the tandem of defenders Lisboa and Brito, who are key players in the Portuguese national team. In the match against BiH, Lisboa scored 22 points, while Brito scored 17 points for Hungary.

Portugal plays aggressively in defense and their main task will be to stop the shot for three Polish national teams, as well as Ponitka, which is the alpha and omega of the Polish team.

Poland Team News

Poland is the host of this tournament, which is certainly a big advantage for them, but they struggled a lot in the first match against Hungary. They won by two points, but A.J.’s lack of play was noticeable. Slaughter, who is the driving force of the team led by Igor Milicic from the bench. While in the second match against Bosnia and Herzegovina, they showed their quality and defeated the favored BiH, which came to Poland with the strongest team. First of all, they looked great defensively, where they stood in the zone and let BiH shoot from the field, knowing that it was the weakest weapon of the blue yellows, while they helped Nurkic with the racket. They looked great in attack. The fast flow of the ball, Ponitka as a creator, and the involvement of Nurkic and Kamenjas in the high pick led to open positions for three points and high percentages of success. At the end of the first quarter, Poland made 7 three-pointers from 8 attempts. Sokolowski led the way in shots from distance, hit 5 three-pointers, and added 22 points. Ponitka scored the same number of points, but he also added 9 rebounds and 7 assists. Ponitka always plays at the highest level for the Polish national team and has the maximum confidence of coach Milicic.
