Basketball
The fourth quarter has been decided. Ukraine national team lost to Poland at EuroBasket.
In the 1/8 final of the EuroBasket, the Ukrainian team had perhaps the most suitable opponent possible. Ainars Bagatskis, who is also well known to the team: In a training tournament held in Istanbul in August, the Blue-Yellows defeated the Poles with 28 points. True, he missed AJ Slaughter, the defender of “Gran Canaria”, one of the leaders of the rival team in the tournament in Turkey. Alexey Len, who had just arrived on the team’s court the day before, did not play in that game.
Noting that the Poles are playing the right basketball, Ainars Bagatskis also mentioned that Poland should not be underestimated the previous day. “I told the team that Poland is an experienced, big and smart team. They don’t play with surprises, they play true, sometimes hard basketball. They often play at the expense of the opponent’s gifts and take well what is given to them. In a match with them, the important thing is discipline, consistency and aggression. This opponent is physical Ainars also noted that Mateusz Ponitka is the clear leader of the opponent, but Sloter, Balcerovski and Sokolovski should also be looked at.
The fight started quite tensely. Mikhailyuk and Len failed to score from behind the arc, Svyat also made a loss after interception and the Poles took a 5:0 lead. But two dunks from Len and Mikhailyuk dampened the opponent’s fire a little. Poland, however, acted quite confidently in the offensive. Slaughter caught the shot, hitting the back of the bow a few times – and of course, we had to be in the catch role, which didn’t add confidence. But we didn’t let the opponent go and we left the first timeout at minus 3 – 21:24.
The picture on the site did not change in the second quarter. We were approaching the opponent, but due to a technical malfunction, we allowed the Red-Whites to go into mini-timeouts again. Slaughter scored more goals than usual in the tournament in the middle of the second ten minutes – 13 points. Bobrov showed he’s great on our team: he took two long-range shots and landed a brilliant block hit. With 3:44 remaining in the quarter, we took a 38:37 lead for the first time after two consecutive narrow passages completed by Bliznyuk and Bobrov. Then, catching the shot, Bobrov added three from the back of the bow. Svyat went into the corridor and fell into Bliznyuk – three more, and the gap was already from Ukraine.
Unfortunately, in the end, after unnecessary losses, the “blue-yellows” allowed the opponents to enter a shooting range from behind the arc – 45:42. In general, the first half of the wards of Ainars Bagatskis can be included in the asset.
In the third quarter, the Poles were already catching up. They also did not allow our team to leave more than four points. As a leader, Mikhailyuk began to take over the game more – and his passes were both timely and effective. Now, if the arc flew to the Holy even from behind. However, the Poles escaped and Bagatskis had to take a time-out with a score of 59:59.
Pustovoy scored five consecutive points at the end of the quarter, but the Poles, who had three free throws on the final offense, advanced to the final section with a two-point advantage.
The nervous game started in the fourth quarter. Tkachenko fired two or three shots for us and then added a spectacular block shot. But we must give them credit. The Poles directed the snipers to open shots from the back of the bow. As a result, they managed to leave with 9 points. Blue-Yellows for 1.32 – 3 – reduced to 84:87. But there were not enough Ukrainians for more. 86:94 – humiliating defeat. Unfortunately, as Bagatskis said before the game, the Poles took what we gave.

Version Forbes announced its annual ranking of the world’s most expensive sports teams.
NFL franchise Dallas Cowboys, estimated to be worth $13 billion, has led the pack for the ninth year in a row.
While NBA Golden State Warriors ranked second with a valuation of $11 billion, another representative of American football, Los Angeles Rams (10.5 billion), was in the top three.
The top 10, as last year, includes only American teams from the NFL and NBA. There are seven NFL clubs in the top 10 overall, which Forbes analysts attribute to the league’s large-scale television contracts.
Among football clubs, Real Madrid remains the most expensive – the Spanish giant ranked only 20th with a value of $6.75 billion.
Also in the top 50 are Manchester United (24th, 6.6 billion), Barcelona (42nd, 5.65 billion) and Liverpool (48th, 5.4 billion). In total, only four football clubs are represented in the top 50 rankings.
Formula 1 representatives also returned to the list – Ferrari (26th place) and Mercedes (34th).

On December 20-21, Niko-Basket lost two home matches to Dnepr and Zaporozhye in the eighth round of the Super League and therefore finished the calendar year in 9th place in the standings with 4 wins in 14 matches.
Head coach of the team after the defeat of Zaporozhye (67:78) Valentin Berestnev He listed the reasons for the team’s unsuccessful results as follows:
“Counting the first, third and fourth quarters, we won by one point each. We lost the entire game in the second quarter. We had a 7-point lead in the second quarter, but we finished with minus 9. We lost the fight, lost the rebounds, made childish mistakes. This caused the opponent to get over the shock of being behind 12:19 and the game turned in another direction.
We could not find a leader who could do what Lovings and Lishchina did. Eisa scored almost 30 points per game, surpassing our fourth point.
I would like to thank our fans who supported us until the end. They said warm and kind words to us after the match. This is our first year playing in the Super League. Most of the players have no experience of playing in the Super League: Max (Grischuk), Vitaly (Volodin), Bodya (Likhoy). Zaitsev, Safonov and Garbar have experience. Kabanov has little experience. This is a difficult season for them, which will show who will advance to the Super League level and who will not.
Therefore, I would like to thank our fans once again. There were two alarms today. Yesterday we finished the match three hours later than planned. Despite this, people stayed and supported us. We are very grateful for this support.
We train six times a week, twice a day to improve our game. I believe that we will overcome this situation and have a team that will compete for Super League awards, become a strong middle team and beat everyone at home, just like 10-15 years ago.
Most of the guys have no experience, so mistakes are made. Not technical, tactical. There is a lack of a leader who will take responsibility in difficult times. Now we are looking for such a player in the team. If we can’t find it, we will face three foreign players like most other teams. If our audience likes it.”
