The semi-final of the Olympic men’s basketball tournament will see Serbia face off against the USA at 3 AM on August 9th.
Today, the Serbian national basketball team coach, Pesic, spoke with the media.
Regarding their opponents, the USA’s Dream Team, Pesic stated:
“They (the USA) are growing from game to game, we respect that. But we also respect ourselves, we’re not afraid. We want to play well, which is why we stayed in the hotel today and didn’t train. After playing an extremely tense and difficult match against Australia, we are physically and mentally exhausted, so we gave our players more rest time. We are one of the four best teams, and we will continue moving forward because we said we came here to do our best and win an Olympic medal. Tomorrow is an opportunity, and we don’t want to waste it. We know who we’re playing against, and we are very clear about that.”
