After facing Lithuania on Saturday and Hungary the next day, Evan Fournier expressed his dissatisfaction with these back-to-backs. The Frenchman is certainly used to this rhythm with the NBA calendar so busy, but he considers that chaining meetings at the Euro is more difficult.
“We have fewer matches here, but each match is more important,” analyzed the back of the Knicks. “From the first minute to the last action, it really goes all out. It would be great if FIBA changed this to allow us to have more rest between matches. “
Comments that reached the ears of Luka Doncic. The Slovenian agreed with Evan Fournier on this question of the calendar for the first round of European competition.
“We play four matches in five days”notes the Dallas star, interviewed by Eurohoops. “We played two games in 24 hours. So yes, that should change. Everyone lacks rest and that’s a problem because injuries come later. And the franchises will not be happy then. I agree with him, it’s always better to have more rest. “
The two players are also well placed to talk about it since they are in the “group of death” and will meet on Wednesday for the last match of the first phase. Even if, remember, whatever happens, the Blues are already qualified.
“This band is amazing”continues Luka Doncic. “The six teams are very competitive and you can lose against anyone. All the matches are fun to watch for the fans. “
