The Australian Boomers continue their Olympic Games campaign, coming up against Greece in their final Group Stage game.
A win for Australia will put them through to the next round, while Greece is 0-2, despite a pair of monstrous performances from Giannis Antetokounmpo, who put up with 34 points against Canada and 27 points and 11 rebounds against Spain.
“In this one, you’re playing the best athlete in the world and one of the best players in the world,” Boomers head coach Brian Goorjian said of facing Antetokounmpo.
“And he’s around the basket and off the elbows, which is something we haven’t faced before.
“The good thing about the way this tournament is you get two games in between the next one, but I just made sure that the guys understood when they leave the dressing room — it’s not a game, it’s a tournament. And our future in Paris lies in this upcoming game,” he added.
