Egypt Team News
The “Pharaohs” have again found themselves in the strongest basketball competition, and their goal is certainly to achieve at least one victory because their performance so far in the championships is not very commendable. But still, the continuity of games in the championships actually gives them hope for a step forward compared to previous years. They come in the strongest possible lineup, led by Assem Marei, an experienced center who brings safety under the basket primarily in the jump, but in the attack, he ends up in a high percentage of “close-shoot” situations. In addition to Marei, the best player in the domestic Egyptian championship, combo-back, Ehab Amin Saleh, who is the main option for Egypt in the back positions, should be singled out.
Egypt played only two preparatory matches, and somewhat surprisingly they beat Georgia, while in the last match of the preparations they were defeated by Lebanon.
Lithuania Team News
Although they are coming to the championship with a very weakened team, Lithuania is still one of the main favorites for a medal and the highest ranking. Simply, the tradition and culture that Lithuanians have towards basketball, as well as the talent they possess, gives them the right to hope for the highest goals in this championship as well. However, the absence of players who have been the bearers of the Lithuanian game for years will be felt. There is no Domantas Sabonis, who is certainly the leader and, along with Valanciunas, the best player on the national team. Besides him, the experienced Ulanovas, Grigonis, and Lekavicius are not there either. There will be a lack of width in the roster of Lithuania, but also the solidity that Ulanovas brings above all.
Much will depend on the central duo of Valanciunas and Motiejunas, who cooperate superbly and bring security under the basket on both sides of the court. The biggest problem for Lithuania is creation, where they will envy a lot from Rokas Jokubaitis. Jokubaitis had excellent matches in Barcelona this season, while in some key matches, he knew how to completely disappear from the field. From the outside positions, especially in the attack, a lot is expected from Ignas Brazdeikis, who proved this season in Zalgiris that he is the “cream” of European basketball.
They played as many as 10 preparatory games where they had 7 wins and 3 losses, two of those three losses were against France. They play to the basket more and scored 90+ points in 6 games.
