What happened on Friday in Katowice Spodek cannot be called otherwise than the absolute blame Polish national team. A fairly weakened staff, which lacked the biggest stars, including Jeremy Sochan, Mateusz Ponitka, Aleksander Balcerowski or Igor Militia Junior, faced even deeper reserves of Lithuania. And yet she lost and painfully, because with a difference of 34 points – 48:82. And it seems that the white and red does not explain that they played in the “second” composition, or that the meeting rate was illusory.
Marcin Gortat comments on the defeat of Poles with Lithuania. Sharply
“The match was an opportunity for supporting white -and -red basketball players to report access to this year's Eurobasket, but the coach Igor Milicić was unlikely to answer his questions. Łukasz Cegliński from Sport.pl wrote directly. Fans were also disappointed with the attitude of our team. “Scandal”, “Anti -Squeeze” – these are milder of the terms that appeared on social media.
Marcin also took the floor after the match on the platform x Gortat. The former Polish representative reacted to one of the posts and eloquently. “Well, but #koszkadra played without 5 players …” – wrote Andrzej Jankowski, trying to explain the poor performance of Poles a bit. Gortat did not fail to comment on such an opinion. “Oh, everyone is clinging! Or maybe this is a bigger plan before Eurobasket, which we don't know yet …. ???” – the former basketball player ironically.
A lot of comments appeared under the post, and Gortat reacted to one of them. “After changing the generation, we will play for promotion with San Marino, Malta, Iceland and Luxembourg. You have to touch the bottom to bounce up” – wrote Damian Zart, to which Gortat replied eloquently: “You have to bounce something first …” – He said, adding a sad emoticon.

One term was enough to sum up the game of Poles
And he did not end there. In a separate post he asked for the opinion of other Internet users about the Friday performance of Poles. “What impressions after the match of Polish basketball players with Lithuania?” – Gortat asked, adding an eloquent hashtag – “#blowout”, which in basketball means a situation in which one team wins a large difference of points, even crushes the opponent. And in the Friday meeting the hero was only one and it was absolutely not our team. She was simply blown out of the dance floor.
She will have a chance to erase the stain on Monday. That day he will play in Skopje with North Macedonia. Beginning at 18:30.
