Basketball A surprise winner was found in the Susijeng donk race – the 20-year age difference did not weigh: “Can still do at this age”

Finland the national basketball team is hunting for a place in the 2023 World Cup by playing two important qualifying matches at the turn of June-July. On Thursday, Sweden will settle in Espoo, and on Sunday in the away field Croatia.

The situation in the qualifying block is cumbersome. The wolf gang leads the block, but Slovenia, Sweden and Croatia lurk behind within two points.

The qualifying system for the World Cup is quite unique. Only one team will drop from the blocks, and the other three teams will advance to the qualifiers.

In the 24-team qualifiers, the points in the starting block will still be counted. A total of qualifying games will be played in six different windows for over a year.

System has had Susijeng 24 years old Edon Maxhunin head to the wheel.

“We just talked about it with the younger boys at the dinner table. I tried to explain it, but there are a few gaps in it that I don’t even know how it goes. But fortunately, the coaches know, and they will help, ”Maxhuni said after Tuesday’s practice.

“It comes with a lot of games, which is a good thing. You can try a lot against different countries. The matches are coming at a close pace, but when it comes to the national team, it doesn’t really matter. ”

The fight between Finland and Sweden on Thursday at the Espoo Metro Arena has been sold out. Susijeng has fish debts to pay in the match. Sweden squatted its little brother at the November qualifying opening 72-62.

“Annoyed to play a bad game in Sweden. Everyone has a small annoyance that we lost to them. This time we will be tougher and we will win, ”Maxhuni promised.

Wolf gangs confirms NBA star in summer World Cup qualifiers and autumn European Championships Lauri Markkanen.

The Cleveland Cavaliers ’213-inch winger stood out in practice with his stylish basketball shoes and fierce effort. In the wake of the game, Markkanen jumped to donk Petteri Koposen served the arched ball directly from the air into the basket.

Thanks for the wild bounce goes to Markkanen’s squat exercises, which he told HS a week ago. An experienced captain of Susijeng Shawn Huff revealed that the team was on the squat racket again before the practice.

“I pulled a high squat myself and I didn’t go that low. I think I’m pretty close to Laurie though. If something can be done as you get older, you can always increase your strength, ”Huff said.

“The body feels as good as a 38-year-old body can feel. I’ve always made a dune in front of it. No one comes of age and no one wins, but you can always find new exercises. ”

The team belonging to the younger guard Miro Little18, and Topias Palmi27, competed with each other on Monday of the most handsome donk of the day.

The winner was never announced, but Huff began to confuse the duo’s race on Tuesday. He said he showed Little, who was 20 years younger, that the old one still tends to donk.

“I just won against Little! I was still preparing the body on Monday. I wasn’t in donkey condition at the time, ”Huff shouted to make sure the whole hall heard him.

Huff described his own bravery as a two-ball donk, a 360-degree donk, and so-called rock the Cradle -donkin.

“They can still be done at this age. Those top donuts have fallen out over the years. ”

Brave Hall from a handsome setting, Susijengi moves to the Metro Arena, where a special problem arose for the basketball team in the winter. In November, Huff told HS that it was cold in the big hall to practice before the World Cup qualifiers.

In midsummer, the cold would hardly hurt. Temperatures in the metropolitan area are currently staggering.

“It’s always a little cooler to play in the ice rinks, but it’s a matter of getting used to. When you get on the sweat in the game, you don’t notice it anymore, ”Huff commented.

The sold-out audience will be able to enjoy the extracts of Europe’s top players, such as Lauri Markkanen, on the parquet floor. Croatia has named those from the NBA Bojan Bogdanovićin and Ivica Zubacin.

Slovenia, on the other hand, became a superstar Luka Dončićilla, one of the brightest players in the NBA. Fortunately for Finland, both matches against Slovenia are already over – the result is two more victories.

“As a competitor, I would always like to play against the best. It’s the kind of experience you can’t get by looking at. But I don’t know if I would switch between two wins to get to experience what it’s like to play against Dončić, ”Huff grinned.
