Turkey Team News

In these pre-qualifications, Turkey appeared in the strongest lineup, with all its NBA players, but without the naturalized Larkin and Wilbekin. Ataman is a selector at both the club and national team level, simply a master at putting together the strongest possible team and, most importantly, evoking the right reaction, both from the public and the fans, as well as from the players themselves. Before the warm-up games, he “called out” individual players for not responding to his calls and for not being worthy of the jersey they were wearing. The reaction followed, and players from the NBA appeared this year in the pre-qualifications, and Ataman once again confirmed his authority.

The problem for Turkey is the absence of Ozdemiroglu, who was injured in a friendly match against Italy, and most likely ended the season. However, Turkey looks great and they were only defeated by Italy after extra time, they won all the other games very easily. They defeated Poland twice and then the Cape Verde, while in the pre-qualifications they defeated Iceland first and then Bulgaria. They play team basketball, and in most games, they have five players with double-digit points. The team is led by Furkan Korkmaz, who is also the team’s best scorer, and there are also Sengun and Yurtseven, also NBA players.

We believe that they will play the last match of pre-qualification at the maximum number of revolutions, because in front of the home crowd, especially in Istanbul, there is no easing of the gas.

Ukraine Team News

The Ukrainians achieved two victories in Istanbul and have nothing to lose in the duel with the favored Turkey. They came to this tournament without their best players, but again they recorded very solid results. Only the defeat against the Netherlands in the preliminary matches was a surprise. They are playing without their main player Svi Mykhailiuk who is the driving force in the attack. His role was taken over by Kovilar, who is the most effective player in Ukraine in these pre-qualifications. He led the Ukrainians in the victory against Iceland with 23 points and 10 assists, as well as in the match against Bulgaria when he scored 25 points and added 7 assists.

In this match, I can play completely relaxed and at the basket more. They certainly have experience, but we believe that they will be in a subordinate position compared to Turkey.

An OT thriller between Ukraine 🇺🇦 and Bulgaria 🇧🇬 was the highlight of day 1 in Turkey at the FIBA Olympic Pre-Qualifying Tournament 👇#FIBAOQT https://t.co/P4twO4N0bi
