Bolts and cracks on the floor

With the end of the game, in which Nowitzki scored 32 points Points and downloaded nine rebounds and after greetings and some statements in the mixed zone, where I have the ERT microphone, Dirk covered himself with a towel and ran into the locker room …

The pasta cake in Murcia

Nowitzki was not found against her by Ethniki Pre-Olympic tournament: Good again, because the German … We bathed pasta cakes in the corresponding one in 1992 Event in Murcia where our ancestorDirk, Detlev Srebf.

In July 2008 at the only pre-Olympic tournament which had a happy ending, the National defeated him one after the other Lebanon, Brazil, New Zealand and Puerto Rico and qualified first, followed by Croatia and third Germany.

The European champion from 1993 for his part threw the Cape Verde and the Brazil, lost to Croatia and survived the game Life and Death with Puerto Rico.

We did not follow him (Nowitzki) and he did not follow us Athens, but he had managed to abandon us twice …

His debut … Irk

Nowitzki appeared on the international stage for the first time June 1999 in Dijon, where the most ephemeral unfolded Greek presence at Eurobasket with three losses in an equal number of games (Germany, Czech Republic, Lithuania).

Then the 21-year-old Dirk came out (dumb I love his lockout) maiden season in the NBA which averaged 8.2 points and 3.4 rebounds while the Americans mocked him and called him Irk Nowitzki …

You deliberately removed the initials D from his name, what the colloquial basketball is Abbreviation of Defense, which means that it is nula. is in defense!

But in the game between us, in the premiere of the 21st In June ’99, Nemesis didn’t appear in that often Nowitzki’s face (21 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 steals) in that of Vladimir Bogojevic, who is rushing from Serbia who “nailed” us (58-59) with a three-pointer- Knife that the Germans returned with from 56-48!

Like “Stokton to Malone”

Two years later he took over in Antalya Action and crush us! On September 3, 2001, the barrage (for qualification in the octave and the trip to Istanbul the But in the end it looked like Kythera, it never did we’ll see!) from the national with Germany developed into a big hara-kiri and everything that goes with it.

The Greek team joined in the first half Germans and led 44-22, but also from there beyond the exertions began: Theodoris became tired Papaloukas, Antonis Fotsis committed a fourth foul who marked Nowitzki in alternation with the community Dikoudi, lost the fight of the rebounds (24-41) and the The Greek defense became the weapon of the successors “a la Stockton to Malone “Pick n ‘Roll by Marko Pesic and Outsider forward.

At the last minute and after the hand of George Sigalas 74-72, Papaloukas lost five of the six shots in what executed and the Greek team committed suicide and stayed except Nymphon, since he lost 80-75, with Nowitzki “writes” 25 points, 15 rebounds, three help and steal.

The … trains from Syrigos

The next day “Eleftherotypia” came out with me snappy comment by the late Philip Syrigos entitled “The Man Who Watched the Trains” pass on “and assign sole responsibility to her” Failure to train Costas Petropoulos.

“Nureyev” was out of regret and resigned immediately In the evening George Vasilakopoulos was brought to the state “we were killed by our own trainer “, while Return to Athens George Sigalas left various implications of saying “We were welcomed by the charismatic ”.

Put my boy … Dirk

Our third Dalaveri with him, luckily he had other end … September 25, 2005 in Belgrade National found Germany in its final against them Eurobasket didn’t make the same mistakes this time: comfortably won 78-62 and took the throne for a second Times in chronicles.

The night before, the Germans had marched to one la “Put my boy” in our footsteps as they qualified in the grand finale he scored three thanks to three pointers Seconds before the end Novitsky for 74-73, while Jose Manuel Calderon did not exhale, as happened shortly before with Antoine Rigondo.

The apotheosis of the MVP

That night, Nowitzki was named her MVP Event, but was not crowned champion Europe: Nine months later with them in the final Heath wasn’t going to be crowned NBA champion, however the pear had its tail behind it, as it claimed to be taking his blood behind Dwayne Wade and Miami 2011.

He did not ascend to the throne where he showed her afentomoutsounara des (leader of the Greek Team) Michalis Kakiouzis, but hit the absolute Apotheosis if a few minutes before the end of the finale was withdrawn by Dirk Bauermann to enjoy “standing ovations”.
