Bayern Munich’s new coach Pablo Laso has not only predicted a great future for German basketball because of the success at the World Cup.
“I think the German team still has a lot in the tank for the next few years and good players are coming. All players can still develop well. I think German basketball has a bright future ahead of it,” said the Spaniard in a press round on Thursday.
The German team had won their first three games at the World Cup in Asia and can make it into the quarter-finals against Georgia on Friday (10:30 a.m. CEST).
“I think Germany is playing very well, they have a very good and balanced team. Expectations are high now, that’s normal. They can beat almost anyone. But Serbia, Spain, USA, Canada are all playing well too. But Germany is there,” said the long-time coach of Spain’s record champions Real Madrid.
Laso had succeeded Andrea Trinchieri at Bayern in June. In Munich he wants to play an attractive basketball.
“If you want to run and play good, fast basketball with a lot of dunks, you have to play defense or you won’t get the ball. That’s important to me: we have to play good defense, get the ball and create good situations as quickly as possible.” , he said.
