The Swedish national team maintains its solid level. Tre Krunur under the leadership of Janne Andersson continues to steadily qualify for all tournaments and show high results in them. In the last draw of the League of Nations, the Swedes took 1-st place in the group, pushing the national teams of Russia and Turkey. Moreover, the Swedish national team does not include bright stars even of the level of Alexander Golovin. The Swedes also managed to qualify again for the Euro from the 2-nd place. The first place went to Spain. Moreover, the Spaniards stumbled in Sweden, drawing 1: 1. Which once again proves the intransigence of the Swedes in their native walls. It will not be easy for the French to take away 3 points. The upcoming meeting will be missed by midfielder of Krasnodar Viktor Klasson and striker of Moscow Spartak Jordan Larsson.
The Rockets really had to work hard to make it to the quarterfinals, as Oklahoma turned out to be an uncompromising opponent and tickled their nerves well. It seemed to Michael D’Antoni that he had to built a great game, although every time the Thunder, led by Chris Paul, found the key to victory and did not let Houston go. Everything was decided in the seventh match of the series, when there was a real cut on the floor, but that evening, luck was on the side of James Harden and the company (104-102). If the Rockets continue to act so unstable, they are unlikely to stay long in the playoffs, because the Lakers will clearly take advantage of such opponent’s mistakes.
