Za reprezentanco Črne Gore na letošnjem Eurobasketu igra tudi Kendrick Perry, ki je v sezoni 2022/21 nosil dres ljubljanske Cedevite Olimpije. Črna Gora zaenkrat igra odlično, saj ima 2 zmagi in zgolj 1 poraz, proti Turčiji.
“Gre za zelo tekmovalno skupino,” je skupino A ocenil Kendrick Perry. “Ne glede na to, ali se soočamo s preprekami in stvari ne gredo po naših željah, bomo poskušali najti pot do zmage. Lahko bi se držali za glavo po tekmi s Turčijo, a vemo, da je tekem še dovolj. Vsaka tekma je za nas priložnost in na nas je, da to čim bolje izkoristimo.”
Je lahko Črna Gora presenečenje Eurobasketa? “Mislim, da moramo graditi našo igro in naš ugled, najpomembneje pa je, da se nikogar ne ustrašimo.”
So can Montenegro be a Eurobasket dark horse? “I think we still have to build, and also build our reputation but the main thing is that we are not going to back down to anybody. Whether we are a dark horse, or not, that’s for us to decide. The only thing we can control is our effort and our attitude”.
Here’s what Perry said about his team, the low attendance in Tbilisi and also about his experience with Panathinaikos in Greece and his ambitions for the upcoming season with Unicaja Malaga.
