Shawn Huff believes that the big country of basketball would have been a better opponent for Susijeng after all.
Former captain of Susijeng Shawn Huff41, take a surprising stock. Huff is not at all sure that French fall from the European Championships in basketball was a good thing for Finland.
On Sunday it was known that Finland will face the winner of the France-Georgia match in the European Championship. Georgia, who is ranked 24 in the world, dropped the rankings with a score of 80-70.
It has been considered a good news for Susijeng, a direct lottery win.
– As I watched the game, I even hoped for France against Finland. Although it is a tougher team in advance, it could have been a more suitable opponent for Georgia for Finland, Huff says of his surprising view.
Huff believes that many do not know Georgia as a basketball country. In the previous European Championships, Georgia was 21st in the tournament.
– Georgia has a few really good players. The team’s style of play can slow down Finland. They are great to slow down the game for walking. So Finland can have a long evening.
Nasty night

Finland and Georgia have traveled the same basketball. Susijengi returned to the European Championship in 2011, the same year as Georgia broke up at the top.
The teams also met in the qualifying for the current European Championships, albeit with very different configurations than now in the finals. So far, neither team has medals in the European Championships in the prize cabinet.
Huff keeps Georgia’s top players on paper tougher than Finland if Lauri Markkanen omitted from the invoices. The team has two NBA players and hard bones in the Euro fields.
Still, Susijengi is a pre -favorite on Wednesday. Huff is about to play a different match against Serbia.
– Finland has to rely on its own help. You have to play really aggressively and fast because Georgia has such a small rotation. Their star players need to be tired.

Lauri Markkanen is, of course, Georgia’s biggest sorrow.
– Who stops Markkanen there? This can be a good opponent for Markkanen for a long time.
– On the other hand, Georgia may sacrifice one of his rotation players to tear and hang in Markkanen throughout the game. Then the judge line matters a lot.
Finland -Georg will be played on Wednesday in Latvia in Riga.
