If at Euro 2020 the Russian national team made it quite easily, losing the first line to Belgium, then in the League of Nations hosts of today’s match remained in League B, losing the first position to Hungary and the last four matches left an unpleasant aftertaste from the team’s performances. The Russians drew twice, after which they suffered two fiascoes with Turkey (2:3) and Serbia (0:5). The Russian national team managed to interrupt the series of fights without victories in the debut game of qualification against Malta. Everyone expected more from this duel than 3:1 against one of the weakest teams in Europe. Moreover, the islanders even managed to get ahead of our guys in shots on target (5:4). Nevertheless, the game is forgotten, the result remains. We hope that Stanislav Salamovich Cherchesov will make the right conclusions before today’s match with the Slovenian national team.
This season the Warriors are counting only on Curry, around whom the entire team is built, but his strength is clearly not enough to regularly win. The warriors failed at the start of the season, so only recently they managed to get into the playoff zone. Even the phenomenal basketball from Curry does not allow the team to compete with the strongest teams in the league and during his absence, this team has little chance of success. So, in the last meeting, they have already lost to Memphis and Philadelphia.
