Papagiannis and Larentzakis in training at the National
Papagiannis – Larentzakis stepped into the national team’s preparation in the face of the big and critical games against Turkey.
The national team’s preparation for the games against Turkey (25th and 28th February) saw two great additions as George Papagiannis and Giannoulis Larentzakis entered training sessions and Sotiris Manolopoulos was made available.
Panathinaikos Center and Olympiacos Guard will play in both games, the former losing Panathinaikos’ game against Red Star (25/02 at 21:00) in favor of our national team and the associated efforts to qualify for the World Cup.
More players are set to follow in the coming days as the two eternals of Greek basketball have reached an agreement with the EEC to support the National for the benefit of the sport in the country. We remind you that in both games the Turks will have Sein Larkin and Melih Mahmutoglu.
