Dmitry SKAPITSEV: “Playing with Lenham and Pustov is a challenge for me”
Dmitry Skapintsev believes that the Ukrainian national team should take revenge on the Italians for an unfortunate defeat in the World Cup selection.
“We didn’t start the game very well with the Estonians, we lost -10 right away. There are no easy games in EuroBasket and these 10 points had to be played. It was difficult, we were catching up with them almost the whole game, but at the end of the match luck smiled at us, Ilya Sidorov took the ball and added 2 points. Thanks to the disciplined work in defense, we recovered and finally caught our opponent.
It was hard to imagine that I would apply for the EuroBasket in the winter and early summer. That’s why I’m very motivated, satisfied and want to show my best game. Having the opportunity to play with Lenham is a very positive thing. We have already met Artem Pustov in the national team. Playing with them is a new challenge for me. I can try it myself and learn something new. These are Euroleague and NBA level players, so being on the same level as them is very important to me.
Regarding the next match, it is very important for us to take revenge on the Italians for the defeat. I believe we should have won that game, but now we can take revenge in front of the Italian fans. Why? I don’t think this team is stronger than us. Playing with Greece will also be very interesting. An experienced team with the best Euroleague and NBA players, it will be interesting to play against Giannis. Matches will be tough and I’m sure we can impose a challenge.
We need to play with more discipline and confidence against the Italians than in Riga. There were a few whistles that I thought spoiled our game in that game. We started to worry a lot about this, pay attention to the judges and lose our concentration. That’s why I believe we need to play more measuredly here, control our emotions and fight for every ball with a cool head and a warm heart.”
The match between Ukraine and Italy will be played on Monday, September 5, in Milan. Sport.ua will broadcast a text online broadcast of the Ukraine v Italy match.

The Italian Basketball Federation (FIP) and the Serie A Basketball League (LBA) announced the club’s expulsion from the Italian championship. “Trapani Shark”.
According to the National Sports Judge, the team was expelled from the Italian league, also fined 600 thousand euros and its president Valerio Antonini was suspended from basketball for the next three months.
This decision was taken after two technical defeats against Virtus Bologna and Aquila Trento.
Trapani has experienced financial difficulties in recent months, resulting in most of the players leaving the club and the team suffering from a shortage of players to fill the full squad.
At the time of their elimination, the Sharks were 13th in Serie A with a 5-10 record and had reached the qualifying round of the Champions League.

Europa League reported NBAAccording to Eurohoops, legal action may be initiated in case of negotiations for a new project in Europe between the American league and the clubs that have signed an agreement with the Euroleague for the next ten years.
A letter was sent to the NBA last week and all EuroLeague clubs currently holding License A were notified.
It was also reported that a remote meeting will be held between Euroleague shareholder clubs on January 13, as they are the only shareholders who have not yet signed a new license for the next 10 years, and the main purpose of this will be for Real Madrid, Barcelona, Fenerbahçe and ASVEL to decide on the future.
On Friday, January 16, the deadline set by Euroleague shareholders ends to fully confirm the common future of the tournament. Therefore, answers may come within a few hours. However, we should also point out that, legally, according to existing contracts, clubs can sign their new licenses until June 30, 2026, so it is very difficult to predict anything.
Among the remaining Euroleague clubs, there is optimism that Barcelona and Fenerbahce will agree on a position with other shareholders and continue the agreement. At the same time, Real Madrid remains a mystery and ASVEL’s days in the Euroleague appear to be over.
Each case is expected to be handled individually, and in the case of ASVEL, no resistance is expected from the Euroleague if the club led by Tony Parker wants to withdraw from the tournament.
Meanwhile, the clubs that are currently participating in the Euroleague and do not have an A-license also sent a joint letter and requested their presence at the meetings regarding the future of the tournament. But most likely they will not participate in tomorrow’s negotiations.

A new date has been determined for the match between. “Miami” And “Chicago”The match was planned to be held on January 8, but was postponed due to the moisture in the ground making the field unplayable.
The NBA said Miami’s game scheduled to be played in Chicago on Thursday will be played on January 29. In addition, the Bulls-Heat matches, which were planned to be played in Miami on January 30 and February 1, will now be played on January 31 and February 1.
Chicago and Miami will begin a four-game series in five days later this month to make up for last week’s game being canceled due to slippery ground.
This also means the Bulls and Heat will play three consecutive games against each other.
Chicago will play Indiana on January 28 before a rescheduled home game against Miami. The Heat will host Orlando on January 28 and begin a three-game series against the Bulls the following night.
