The 2011 Men's Eurobasket - 31.08-18.09.

    The special Qualifying Round (August 2011) : Finland, Hungary, Portugal > the 2 Teams will play in Eurobasket.

    Hello everybody I prepare my travel for Lituania for the first round (31 august to 7th september)
    I hope to see
    Of course, Lituanian N.T games are sold out wor awhile
    I saw "Starvidas" (Tsar ?) Sabonis in... 1985 when he was 18 yeras old and in a great shape !
    It was the european championship in Germany vs France.
    Even that I'am french, I was crying "Lietuva, Lietuva" in the crowd


    I think I will write about the games, the feelings and my metings during this event
    Basketball is really the second Religion in Lituania !!!
    In 1986, the Atlanta Hawks (NBA) with Dominique Wilkins made a trip for some games.
    After one in Moscow, they came to Kaunas, one of the biggest city.
    They had nearly 2 millions demands for a ticket and there was 3,4 millions people in Lituania


    Just AMAZING

    Take care

    Turkish NT's roster for the training camp:


    Barış Ermiş - Banvit
    İzzet Türkyılmaz - Banvit
    Cenk Akyol - Andolu Efes
    Kerem Gönlüm - Anadolu Efes
    Kerem Tunceri - Anadolu Efes
    Doğuş Balbay - Anadolu Efes
    Sinan Güler - Anadolu Efes
    Emir Preldzic - Fenerbahçe Ülker
    Oğuz Savaş - Fenerbahçe Ülker
    Ömer Onan - Fenerbahçe Ülker
    Sertaç Şanlı - Galatasaray
    Ender Arslan - Galatasaray
    Furkan Aldermir - Galatasaray
    Ömer Aşık - Chicago Bulls
    Semih Erden - Cleveland Caveliers
    Ersan İlyasova - Milwaukee Bucks
    Hidayet Türkoğlu - Orlando Magic
    Enes Kanter - Utah Jazz


    The roster looks really great.I think one of the strongest team in Europe right now. Türkoğlu,İlyasova,Aşık,Tunçeri,Erden,Preldzic are really good players..There are some young talents like Kanter and Aldemir. I hope we will be in Olympics next year :D



    Very strong roster indeed :drink:


    By the way, I see Naz' boyfriend is in the roster :lol: :D

    this time i really hope for a medal especially gold, can we do that? i think so, olympics wait for turkey :lol: :lol: :lol:

    Spain Roster
    Ricky Rubio :cheesy:
    Victor Sada
    Juan Carlos Navarro
    Rudy Fernandez
    Pau Gasol :cheesy:
    Serge Ibaka :cheesy:
    Marc Gasol
    This roster seems much stronger than Turkey. Turkey has a new young coach Orhun Ene and i don't trust him much. His selections for NT are nonsense. Cenk Akyol, İzzet Türkyılmaz, Sertaç Şanlı, Ender Arslan :?: they didn't even play in their clubs this season. Most of them played with 10 min average. And also it has never been seen that Turkish NT had a success in a tournament which is held in another country. So i don't expect a medal. I hope but teams are really strong also France has Tony Parker, Joakim Noah in roster.I'm so excited there will be great matches.


    My teams are :lol: Turkey and Lithuania (Sarunas Jasikevicius :love: )

    "Polish" group is extremely difficult. We may beat Great Britain and the team from qualies, but something more seems to be very hard to achieve. We have some really good class players, but it might not be enough.

    Yes, he is good. He has just signed with Caja Laboral in Spain. But he won't play in EuroBasket due to some private reasons :huh:
