"At the Olympics, there is intense competition in the 3x3 type of basketball."
Evren Alkaya, head coach of Azerbaijan's national teams of female basketball players in lower age groups, told Idman.biz.
The Turkish coach evaluated the chances of our 3x3 women's basketball team at the Paris 2024 Summer Olympic Games. He said that Azerbaijan team has already started to show its game in full: "We persistently defeated the USA, which is one of the world leaders, and China, which has paid great attention to this sport for many years. Currently, our players are in very good shape. They got more used to the Olympics. They took the stress off of them. No matter who the opponent is now, our girls will fight until the end."
Alkaya also drew attention to the importance of Azerbaijan team's meeting with Canada today: "The three matches will have a great impact on each other. Canada is a very systematic, excellent fighting team. But we are strong enough to defeat them today. We showed it again yesterday. France in the Australia match The runners-up must win so that the hosts don't pose a threat to us. If we beat Canada, we can be 4th. But if we lose, the Americans must win to take the 6th place Considering that Azerbaijan team will perform, I believe that we will see that Azerbaijan national team will advance to the 4th or 5th place. This is the success of the Azerbaijan Basketball Federation. If we were watching the games of other countries in the spring, now we are fans of our national team with excitement. This is the result of a lot of work."
The match between Azerbaijan and Canada will start today at 19:30.
