23.30 Italy's time... the match starts!
1.14 Italy's time... tha match was won!
After a three quarters of suffering and fear we won!!! In a double crunch time match we score something like 150 points! We weren't in our best game shape, but a marvellous Lavdas scores 43 points with 16/23 from the field!
Great match for Ritsos too (22 points + 12 Boards) and Ketikidis, finally in a decent game shape, that allow us to play with a "point guard" on the Small Forward spot and he makes up 8 assistances plus 22 points in the game. Great contribution for the win by Atmatzidis too that was burdened by 4 personal fouls at the start of the fourth and decisive period.
Kaikas was injured after 4 minutes in the game and he didn't re-enter, so Florakis plays 47'! Important Rebs for Gagalatos and "triples" by Feloukas and Zampetas.
We suffer the first period (Paraguay leads by 3), but we put our head back at the half time (+1). Benini hurts behind the arch and Solabarrieta strikes inside, but we have not demoralized and we score again... and again, and free throws this time smiles to our victory, differently by a recent past (Rossiya, Makedonija and Ceska Rep.).
