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.

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 best scorer, and there are also Sengun and Yurtseven, also NBA players. Turkey had no problems against Sweden in the semi-finals. They beat them with a 21-point difference, and the NBA trio was the most efficient. All players got a chance, while the holders rested for the most important match of this summer. Turkey has very high-quality players in its composition who can match the central pair of Zubac and Saric. A special role could be played by Sanli, who is one of the best defensive centers in Europe, especially in the defense of the pick game.

The effect of the home audience, especially in Turkey, plays a very important role and we expect a packed Sinan Erdem Dome, which will lead Turkey to victory.

Croatia Team News

After a long time, Croatia appeared in the strongest possible lineup and they have shown all their magnificent talent and skill that they possess. Croatian basketball has been in decline for years, both club and representative, but lately, big changes in the organization have been felt. For Croatian basketball, this match means a lot, first of all, it is a great springboard for the future, to stop sinking and move forward.

In these pre-qualifications, Croats easily defeated all their opponents, and none of them are really the cream of European basketball. In the semi-finals, they defeated Ukraine by 15 points. Croatia is led by the NBA duo, Zubac, and Saric, who cause huge problems for everyone in the front row. In addition to them, Croatia gains a lot, especially in shooting and solidity from Mario Hezonja. The position of the playmaker has been a big problem for the Croatian national team for years. They have had naturalized Americans in that position for a long time. Jaleen Smith, the new reinforcement of Virtus from Bologna, has been the main organizer of the Croatian game for a couple of years now.

It won’t be easy against Turkey at all, especially away from home, but this is an ideal opportunity to show everyone in Croatia that basketball is still alive and that better days are ahead.
