Bigger than victory against Lithuania in Athens 2004 semifinals when I was on the court\u201d Pozzecco told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gazzetta.it\/\">La Gazzetta dello Sport.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cMelli is the best player in the world. I think that and I believe in this. Nic has a sensational IQ in basketball and not only on the basketball court. I have never seen someone like him in my 40 years of basketball. He always knows what to do in any game situation. In the first half Jokic was killing us, we were not able to contain his body in the paint but we had to find something to stop him. At the halftime break I talked to Nic. You have to attack him one-vs-one, you have to let him out of the paint, otherwise if he continues like this, he will kill us. He shared my thoughts, Melli did even more by continuing to play with some fouls already on him. His example has been decisive but everyone did something important in this game\u201d Pozzecco continued.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter the win I gave my credit card to the players, they can do whatever they want to celebrate the victory. They threatened me: don\u2019t give us the wrong PIN number\u201d Pozzecco joked.<\/p>\n<p>Last statement is for FIP president Gianni Petrucci: \u201cThis win is for him. He deserves it\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gianmarco Pozzecco said that he gave his credit card to the players after the victory against Serbia in Eurobasket eightfinals<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":145,"featured_media":293580,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_spbk_hide_featured":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[377,379],"tags":[],"rumors":[],"typology":[],"posizionamento":[],"class_list":["post-293586","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-eurobasket","category-italbasket"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/09\/image-1-3.jpg","digistream_id":0,"digistream":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/293586","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/145"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=293586"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/293586\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/293580"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=293586"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=293586"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=293586"},{"taxonomy":"rumors","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rumors?post=293586"},{"taxonomy":"typology","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/typology?post=293586"},{"taxonomy":"posizionamento","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posizionamento?post=293586"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
