September 9th, at 2 a.m. tomorrow morning, the Lithuanian men's basketball team will play against the Greek men's basketball team in the quarter-finals of the European Championship. Lithuanian men's basketball center Varan accepted an interview with the media.

Speaking of the Greek men's basketball team, Valan said: "We spent two days, and actually a whole day preparing for the match against Greece. They are a very strong team with a lot of firepower, especially outside shooting, and of course Giannis. He has a very strong personal ability, so we must be prepared. We have a game plan and will show it tomorrow."

Regarding how to limit Giannis, Valan did not disclose. He said: "I won't tell you that this is our game plan. Each team has its own style of play, and we are the same. We will play our own advantages."

"They are a team that makes good three-pointers, they also have rich experience and many players who know how to play this kind of game, so we must avoid mistakes and not give them the chance to score easily, and at the same time do their best on both ends of the offense and defense." Valan said.
