The Finns have in their center the fresh reinforcement of Utah from Cleveland, Lauri Markkanen. “But I think we have good defenders for that. Honza Veselý, one of the best in Europe. And certainly Martin Kříž, but also others. And in the past we have already shown a few times that we can prepare for the opponent’s star,” said pivot Martin Peterka.
On Monday, the Finns lost to Serbia by 30 points (70:100) and are fourth in the group. The Czechs will finish it on Thursday against Israel.
