Tokyo 2020 Olympics: We Still Respect Nigeria - Australia Head Coach

Tokyo 2020 Olympics: We Still Respect Nigeria - Australia Head Coach By Sampson Adedeji Despite beating the Nigeria senior men's basketball team D'Tiger by a huge margin, head coach of Australia basketball team Brian Goorjian has said they still respect the Nigeria side, BSNSports.com.ng can reports. The Australian Boomers have shown strength in their squad depth as they ended Nigeria’s winning streak in a compelling 39-point defeat, claiming their third win of the four match Las Vegas exhibition series 108-69, in the early hours of Wednesday. The Boomers may hold their undefeated title in the Las Vegas series but Head Coach Brian Goorjian’s focus retains solely on gelling the younger talents with the experienced names and building the culture in the Australian basketball camp. “Tonight was a step forward, but our respect for Nigeria and everyone in our pool, that hasn’t waned at all. This isn’t about results, not about winning, this is about the culture and playing for your country.” “The future is bright, and the culture is strong, it’s exciting for down the road," he stated. The two team will come face to face again at the Tokyo Olympic games as they are in the same group.
