Lauri Markkanen was a representative of the players at an international press conference after a loss of the European Championship in Germany.
The end result was clearly reflected in the look of the Utah Jazz professional. Markkanen sat in his back and brushed his hair with his hands.
– Yeah, at times we were able to implement our game plan quite well. But those moments when we couldn’t, grew too long, Markkanen began his analysis.
– There was a good team. It punished us for our mistakes.
The Serbian journalist wanted to congratulate both Markka and the head coach sitting next to Lassi Tuovia.
“You’ve played great,” he said.
Only one was addressed to Markkanen.
On Sunday you have the opportunity to win the first basketball medal in history in Finland. How do you help the team back on your feet after this?
– I don’t have to say anything. Teammates are already ready for battle. We have lost the matches in the past and then returned to the path of victory.
– On a good day, we could have won Germany. Today was not that day. But when we leave the hall, all the eyes turn to Sunday. We are hungry.
After that, the opportunity was over. It took about four minutes.
