Just some seconds ago the FIBAs draw was not in favor of the Hellenic team as it showed that the Hellenic NT will play against the all mighty USA NT and against the World Champions team of Spain. As everybody knows miracles do not happened twice but where there is a will there is the way and Head Coach Panagiotis Yannakis is called to 'walk the talk' to drive the Hellenic NT to another great era. The top favourites are of course and at this stage USA and Spain from Group A and Russia with Lithuania from Group B. Let's hope that these facts will eventually change in the court and that among these four favorite teams there will be a surprise and that the name of the Hellenic NT will be figuring among the top four teams in the world!
The first game for the Hellenic team will be against the World Champions team of Spain on the 10th of August at 14:30 - Greece's time, while the third game will be against the all mgihty and ready for revenge, team of USA which will take place on 14th of August at 20:00 - Greece' s time
The exact composition of the two groups are the following:
Group A:
Argentina, Australia, Iran, Lithuania, Russia, Croatia
Group B:
Angola, China, Spain, USA, Germany and Greece
