The reason Turkey struggled against Sweden is because of FIBA’s ridiculous decisions.
Who schedules a game in the morning? If they keep doing such nonsense, of course teams will struggle. Having a game at 12 p.m. Turkey time is just absurd.
Normally, we could have had a much more comfortable win against Sweden, but because of FIBA’s nonsense, we struggled.
Having all games played in a single arena leads to nonsense like this. If you’re organizing a tournament, you also need to consider the players, you can’t schedule a game at such an absurd early hour; it’s terrible both for the fans and the players.
It’s good that Serbia got eliminated because they were one of the tournament favorites.
Just like he’s becoming a star in the NBA, Alperen Şengün is also shining here, and I believe he will bring us the championship.
