Brother Alphabet officially announced: I am disappointed that I missed the World Cup due to injury and hope to participate in the Paris Olympics next year
On August 11, Beijing time, Brother Alphabet officially announced through social media that he would miss this year's Men's Basketball World Cup and would not be able to lead the Greek men's basketball team. Brother Alphabet said he has not recovered from his injury enough to compete in the World Cup, which he regretted and promised to be able to compete in the Olympics next year.
Alphabet Brother officially released a statement through social media: "Everyone knows my passion and love for the national team and will never change anything. Since the end of my NBA season, I've been pushing my body to the limit and trying to be the player I need to be to help the team achieve the goals we've set. ”
"It's just that after months of training, plus multiple meetings with medical staff, it's clear I'm not ready for the Men's Basketball World Cup. It's not an option, it's my only option to make sure I'm back to my best and the level of basketball I've been training for in my career. ”
"I am very disappointed with this result, but it is the final decision made by the medical staff. I'm going to keep pushing myself and get ready for the next time my name is called up by the national team. My ultimate goal and that of our team will be to qualify for Paris 2024 and it will be my honor to represent my national team at the Olympics next year. ”
Alphabet averaged 31.1 points, 11.8 rebounds and 5.7 assists per game in the NBA regular season last season, leading the Bucks to the regular season championship and becoming the favorite to win the championship. It's just that Alphabet Brother was injured in the first round of the playoffs, he missed many games due to a back injury, and he was unable to stop Butler's Heat after his return, and the final total score was 1-4 by the Heat.
Alphabet then underwent knee debridement at the end of June and has been in convalescent mode ever since. The Greek men's basketball team previously announced the 18-man list, and the alphabet brother is still on the list, but he has now officially announced that he will not be able to participate in the men's basketball World Cup due to injury, which is undoubtedly a huge loss of strength for the Greek men's basketball team.
This year, the Greek men's basketball team is drawn in Group C, and the strongest opponent in the same group is undoubtedly the United States men's basketball team, the remaining two teams are Jordan men's basketball and New Zealand men's basketball team.
