Igrao je sve utakmice na EP. U poslednjima je imao manju minutažu
zbog povrede prsta (na utakmici protiv Rusije se povredio). Usput,

Ne znam koliko je poznato da bivsi trener Aca Petrovic
nije smeo nista da kaze Komazecu, i da je zbog toga
kasnije podneo ostavku. Celo EP Arijan se samo ispucavao,
ne bi li se na taj nacin sto bolje prodao, a Aca jednostavno
nije smeo da ga izbaci iz tima. Jednom je pokusao, ali je Arijan
tako burno reagovao, da se Aca us*ro, i od tada mu nista nije

E pa pošto niko od vas 'dičnih' Beograđana nije smeo da napiše (bruka, šta
li?) moraću ja. Kao prvo, obistinilo se moje predviđanje da će Kragujevčani
biti najbolji. Evo i pobednika u svim kategorijama za finalni turnir u Street
Basketu STREETBALL, koji je održan u Beogradu 30. juna:
U finalu košarkašica (do 20 godina) igrale su dve kragujevačke ekipe (gle
čuda :> ) i više sreće (znanja?) kao i ovde u Kragujevcu imala je ekipa
'Radničkog', mada je i ekipa 'Šumadije' postigla odličan uspeh plasmanom u
finale. Samo se pitam kako li su Beograđanke podbacile... :>>>>>
U finalu košarkaša do 20 godina u finalu je kragujevačka ekipa 'Street
Fighters' izgubila od novosadske 'Nep Neoplante'. Gle, opet nema Beograđana!
;)
U finalu košarkaša preko dvadeset godina konačno se pojavila jedna
beogradska ekipa, ;> no nažalost morala je da poklekne pred fenomenalnom
četvorkom iz Kragujevca pod imenom 'Bife Dva drugara'. Dakle, videste li vi da
one tračice za nos čine čuda? ;)
Dakle, da rezimiramo, od tri finala dva su pripala kragujevačkim ekipama, a
od šest finalista četiri je iz Kragujevca. Mislim da brojke sve govore... ;>
Ah, kako volim da peckam... KRAGUJEVAC!!!!! KRAGUJEVAC!!!!! ;)))

Nasa seniorska reprezentacija je u svojoj drugoj utakmici na turneji
po SAD, odigranoj u Cikagu, savladala americki All star tim sastavljen
od bivsih igraca NBA i igraca CBA lige i nekoliko igraca Cikago Bulsa
sa 108:78. Mogu misliti kakav je to tim kad je najbolji strelac za
Amere bio "legendarni" Jack Haley sa 12 poena, poznat kao najbolji
navijac medju igracima. Najbolji medju nama bio je Zarko Paspalj sa 16
poena. Novinski izvestaji kazu jos da je izvesni John Williams (ne
znam da li onaj iz Finiksa) igrao veoma grubo, i da je Sasa Djordjevic
konacno zaigrao i izvodio egzibicije na terenu.

Greška, u finalu su igrali Čačani (Štrumpfovi) protiv ekipe
"Bife dva drugara". Na žalost nisam gledao kvalifikacije (taj dan je
bila Formula 1, a to se ne propušta) već samo trojke, kucanje i finala u
sve tri kategorije. Moram da kažem da su "Drugari" u finalu igrali
kao poslednje s..e, igra se svodila na dobacivanje lopte centru koji je
onda bacakao na koš uz obavezno traženje faula, pa ako još i uđe, uđe.
Da ne grešim dušu, čuo sam i da su mnogo lepše igrali dok nisu došli do
finala, ali ono što sam ja video je tuga i sramota... Ipak treba
pomenuti da se igralo na granici regularnosti jer je neposredno pre
finala (pa i za vreme) padala kiša tako da je podloga bila klizava i
opasna za ulaženje pod koš.
Inače, Čačanin je pobedio i u zakucavanju (Ivan Ćosović) - tek da se
zna! :)

pravilo da svi igraci moraju da imaju iste boje patika. Ovde to
nije.

Čovek je opušten maksimalno.
Znajući njegovu preku narav i odnos sa trenerima, ovako labilna igra

Spectator's Guide to Basketball
The Tournament
The 12 teams in the Olympic tournament compete in two-round robin
pools with the top four teams in each pool advancing to a
direct-elimination tournament featuring quarterfinals, semifinals and
finals. Classification games also are played to determine fifth
through 12th place.
What to Watch
With the introduction of professional players to the Olympic
tournament, the basketball competition has become as much of a "who to
watch" as a "what to watch."
The world's greatest players now compete for the gold medal while
offering fans a dazzling display of individual skills and a near telepathic
sense of precision teamwork.
A team's strategy often depends on the individual matchups on the
court. Taller teams generally optimize their height advantage by
passing the ball to their towering players for close-range,
high-percentage shots. Quicker teams will take advantage of their
superior speed with a pressing defense and a fastbreak offense while
teams with long-range sharpshooters benefit from the 3-point shot.
Some rules differ slightly between the Federation International de
Basketball (FIBA), the National Basketball Association (NBA) and the
National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), so know the rules
before yelling for a goal tending call or encouraging an extra
timeout.
Basketball Rule Book
Whether the sport is played in the Olympic Games, the NBA, the NCAA or
the local playground, the object of the game remains the same: put the
ball in the basket.
Five-player teams dribble and pass the ball downcourt to set up
shots at the basket. Shots from the field are worth 2 points, free
throws are worth 1 point and shots from beyond the 6.25 meter (20ft
6in) arc are worth 3 points.
Personal fouls may be called on players for holding, slapping,
pushing, charging or committing other illegal acts of bodily contact
as determined by one of the two on-court officials. Players committing
five fouls must leave the game, and the accumulation of eight team
fouls per half results in a bonus free throw for the opposition.
Players fouled in the act of shooting receive one free throw if the
shot was good, two if it was not and three if it was taken from beyond
the 3-point line.
Dr. James Naismith's rules for the game of basketball have changed
very little over the past 100 years, but the game still has three
unique sets of regulations. Efforts are routinely made to standardize
the rules for all basketball competitions, but subtle differences
still exist at the international, professional and collegiate level.
FIVB NBA NCAA: International, Professional, Collegiate
Duration of game: two 20-minute halves, four 12-minute quarters, two 20-minute
halves
Shot Clock: 30 seconds, 24 seconds, 35 seconds (men) 30 seconds (women)

Who to Watch in Basketball
Preview of Men's Olympic Basketball
In 1989, the Federation International de Basketball (FIBA) voted 56-13
for "open competition," allowing the National Basketball Association's
(NBA) players to compete in the Olympic Games and other international
events for the first time.
The result was a dream come true for basketball fans.
With a team loaded with NBA all-stars, the United States' delighted
fans, captivated the media and thrilled opponents as it cruised to the
1992 Olympic gold medal and re-established the country's dominance in
the sport.
But while the new rule appeared to make the United States unbeatable
in Olympic competition, it may have also elevated the level of play
worldwide. Countries like Yugoslavia, Croatia, Lithuania and Greece
may now send their top players to the NBA and still keep them eligible
for the Olympic tournament. Australia's Luc LONGLEY and Croatia's Toni
KUKOC helped lead the Chicago Bulls to the NBA Championship in 1996,
and Lithuanian newcomer Arvydas SABONIS ranked second in the 1996 NBA
Rookie of the Year balloting. Yugoslavia's Vlade Divac has become one
of the NBA's most recognizable personalities with the Los Angeles
Lakers, while Ethimis RETZIAS of Greece could become one of the
league's newest stars as a first-round draft choice of the Denver
Nuggets.
Although the presence of the NBA players may have lifted the Olympic
basketball tournament to new heights, the tournament produced
dream-like memories and heroes long before the arrival of the world's
top professionals. Already a legend in his home country, Brazil's
Oscar SCHMIDT entered his name into Olympic lore in 1988 when he
scored 55 points against Spain and averaged 42 points per game in his
eight Olympic contests. SCHMIDT will make his fourth Olympic
appearance in 1996.
The longest winning streak in Olympic basketball history came to a
controversial ending in 1972. The winners of every gold medal ever
awarded in the sport, the United States entered the gold medal game
against the Soviet Union with a perfect 62-0 all-time record at the
Games. With three seconds left in the game, Doug COLLINS, now the head
coach of the Detroit Pistons, sank two free throws to give the United
States its first lead of the game, 50-49. The Soviets failed to score
following the inbound pass, but an official had whistled play to stop
with 1 second remaining. After the Soviets argued that they had
requested a timeout before COLLINS' second freethrow, the clock was
reset and the Soviets again failed to score. As the U.S. players
celebrated on the court, FIBA Secretary General R. William Jones
ordered the clock reset once again to 3 seconds. This time, Aleksandr
BELOV caught the long inbound pass, stepped between two U.S. defenders
and laid the ball in to give the Soviet Union the victory. The U.S.
protest was denied, and the players unanimously voted to refuse their
silver medals. The 12 medallions still sit unclaimed in a Munich
vault.
The Soviets defeated the United States again in 1988, but the rivalry
ended withbreakup of the Soviet Union prior to the 1992 Games. In
its place, new matchups have developed as the result of familiarity,
proximity or politics. Croatia, Lithuania and Yugoslavia staged fierce
battles in the European Championships just to arrive in Atlanta.
Yugoslavia won a silver medal in 1988 while Croatia and Lithuania
inished second and third in 1992.
A long way from the rainy, outdoor clay court that served as the venue
for the 1936 Games, the medal games in 1996 will take place at the
spacious Georgia Dome where a record number of spectators are expected
to cheer their teams throughtournament. But while the venues may
have changed, the goals of the participants remain the same. Athletes
till enter the tournament seeking a gold medal, a game-winning jump
shot or simply the chance to compete against the world's best players.
These are the best of dreams. And at the Olympic Games, they all can
come true.
Men's Teams
ANGOLA
Winner of the past four African Continental Championships, Angola
qualified for its second Olympic Games tournament after finishing in
10th place in Barcelona in 1992. Power forward Jean Jacques CONCEICAO
averaged 17.7 points per game in 1992, including a 24-point
performance against eventual silver medalist Croatia, and leads the
team in both scoring and rebounding. Forward Anibal MORIERA and guard
Paulo MACEDO also return from the 1992 team that went 2 - 4 in Olympic
play. Angola handily defeated Senegal in the African championship
finals to earn its place in the Games.
ARGENTINA
Appearing in its first Olympic tournament since 1952, Argentina earned
its trip to the Games with a second-place finish in the Basketball
Tournament of the Americas. Although appearing in only two previous
Olympic tournaments, Argentina will look to continue a rich basketball
tradition that includes a gold medal at the first-ever World
Championships in 1950 and 12 straight medal performances at the South
American Championships. Guard Marcelo MILANESIO is the inspirational
leader of the team, while Juan ESPIL, led the squad in scoring at the
Tournament of the Americas.
AUSTRALIA
One of the international game's most consistent teams, Australia
makies its seventh consecutive Olympic appearance after finishing with
a sixth place finish in 1992. The team's best finish came in 1988,
when it placed fourth in the tournament after losing the bronze medal
game to the United States. Center Luc Longley was the first Australian
to be drafted and play in the NBA where he currently plays with the
Chicago Bulls. Making his fourth Olympic appearance, former NBA
Seattle Supersonics standout Andrew GAZE scored 35 points during a
qualifying tournament contest in leading Australia to the Games. GAZE
was the sixth leading scorer in the 1992 Olympic Games, averaging 20.9
points per game.
BRAZIL
The ninth-place team at the 1992 tournament, Brazil earned its 12th
trip to the Games as the third-place finisher at the Tournament of the
Americas. A perennial international power, Brazil has won 14 of the 34
South American Championships and medaled in six of the previous 12
World Championships. Brazil won bronze medals at the 1948, 1960 and
1964 Olympic Games. An international basketball legend, Oscar SCHMIDT,
is expected to play in his fourth Olympic tournament in Atlanta.
SCHMIDT led the tournament in scoring in 1992, and holds the Olympic
record tournament average with 42.8 points per game set during the
1988 Games. He also hold the Olympic single-game scoring record with
55 points against Spain in the 1988 tournament.
PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA
Looking to improve on 1992's 0-7 mark at the Games, China returns for
its sixth Olympic tournament after winning the Asian continental
championship for the fifth consecutive time. The benefactors of a
national boom of interest in the sport, China has dominated play in
Asia and defeated Korea in the Asian championship finals to earn its.
SUN Jun led the team during the 1992 Games with a
pair of 22-point performances against Venezuela and Lithuania. TAO
han, a 215cm (7ft 1in) center, also helped the Chinese to an eighth
place finish at the 1994 World Championships in a performance that
included wins over both Spain and Brazil. China's best international
performances came in 1950 and 1959 when it won bronze medals at the
World Championships.
CROATIA
The silver medalist in Barcelona, Croatia could contend for its second
Olympic basketball medal after losing to the United States, 117 - 85,
in the 1992 championship game. National Basketball Association (NBA)
standouts Toni KUKOC of the World Champion Chicago Bulls and Dino
RADJA of the Boston Celtics helped guide the team to the finals in
1992 and are expected back in the lineup in Atlanta. KUKOC was a
three-time European Player of the Year and most valuable player of the
1990 World Championships while RADJA became just the sixth Celtic to
score more than 1,000 points in a season. KUKOC and RADJA will be
seeking their third Olympic medals in Atlanta after winning silver
medals for Croatia in 1992 and Yugoslavia in 1988. Croatia came in
third at the 1995 European Championships, after losing a close
semifinal game to Lithuania.
GREECE
One hundred years after hosting the first Modern Olympic Games, Greece
qualified for its first Olympic basketball competition with a fourth
place finish at the European championships. Greece finished behind
Yugoslavia, Lithuania and Croatia at the qualifying tournament to earn
ts place at the Games. Forward Theofanis CHRISTODOULOU led the team
in scoring at the European championships, while guard Panayiotis
GIANNAKIS averaged more than 19 points per game at the 1993
Championships. Panayiotis FASSOULAS played a pivotal role in securing
e Greek team its first trip to the Olympic Games, while center
Ethimis RETZIAS was the 1996 first round draft pick of the NBS's
Denver Nuggets.
KOREA
In its sixth Olympic appearance, Korea returns to the Games after
missing the tournament in 1992. Playing on its home court in Seoul in
1988, Korea placed ninth in the tournament for its best Olympic finish
since 1948. Korea placed second behind China at the Asian
Championships to qualify for the tournament to keep alive a streak 17
consecutive medal performances at the Asian Championships since 1963.
Korea won the Asian title in 1969. Three-point specialist HUR Jae led
the team in scoring with 19.5 points per game at the Asian
Championships.
LITHUANIA
It was a long, strange trip for the tie-die clad Lithuanian team in
Barcelona after the squad captured a surprising bronze medal in 1992.
But as another team of experienced veterans take the floor in Atlanta,
Lithuanian medal may become as fashionable as their Grateful
Dead-inspired t-shirts. Long considered one of Europe's top players,
Arvidas SABONIS brought his considerable talents to the NBA's Portland
Trailblazers in 1995 - 96, and finished second inRookie of the
Year balloting. Inspirational leader Sarunas MARCIUIONIS earned most
valuable player honors at the European Championships after guiding the
team to a second-place finish.
PUERTO RICO
The Tournament of the Americas champion, Puerto Rico enters its
seventh Olympic basketball tournament after placing eighth at the 1992
Games. Puerto Rico enjoyed its best finish in 1964 when the team lost
to Brazil 76 - 60 in the bronze medal game. Center Jose "Piculin"
ORTIZ, a former player for the NBA's Utah Jazz, averaged 20 points per
game at the qualifying tournament and could be joined in the lineup by
another former NBA standout, Ramon RIVAS. RIVAS could be making his
third trip to the Games after previous playing on the 1988 and 1992
Puerto Rican squads.
UNITED STATES
The most successful country in Olympic basketball history, the United
States added fuel to its Olympic dominance in Barcelona when
superstars from the NBA were allowed to compete in the Olympic Games
for the first time. The inaugural "Dream Team" outscored opponents by
more than 43 points per game to easily breeze to the 1992 gold medal,
and the newest version of the U.S. squad could be headed for a similar
reward. The U.S. roster again reads like an NBA all-star ballot.
Three-time Olympian and 1995 NBA most valuable Player David ROBINSON
of the San Antonio Spurs heads the list of players making multiple
Olympic appearances along with Charles Barkley of the Phoenix Suns,
Karl MALONE and John STOCKTON of theScottie PIPPEN of the
NBA champion Chicago Bulls and Mitch Richmond ('88) of the Sacramento
Kings. Sharpshooter Reggie MILLER played on the 1994 USA World
Championship team while 1995 NBA Finals MVP Hakeem OLAJUWON of the
Houston Rockets and 1994 World Championships MVP Shaquille O'NEAL of
the Orlando Magic provide the depth in the middle. The team also
features the two of the game's brightest young stars in the Orlando
Magic's Anfernee HARDAWAY and the Detroit Piston's Grant HILL.
YUGOSLAVIA
One of only three countries to win a men's basketball gold medal,
Yugoslavia returns to the tournament after missing the 1992 Games in
Barcelona. In addition togold medal won in Moscow in 1980,
Yugoslavia also earned silver medals in 1968, 1976 and 1988 along with
a bronze medal in 1984. Looking to return to the victory stand in
1996, Yugoslavia won the 1995 European championship a win over
Lithuania. Vlade Divac of the NBA's Los Angeles Lakers is a two-time
Olympian after winning a silver medal in 1988, while sharpshooter
Predrag Danilovich is expected back in the lineup following recent
wrist surgery.
Preview of Women's Olympic Basketball
In the 20-year history of women's basketball at the Olympic Games,
teams from the United States and former Soviet Union or Unified Team
have dominated play, winning all five of the sport's gold medals. The
same teams have ruled the game at the World Championships, winning the
first 11 titles until Brazil finally snapped the streak in 1994.
Although the two teams matched each other medal for medal on the
court, they earned their titles during decade-long streaks of success.
Entering the international basketball arena in 1953, the Soviet Union
stormed through the competition, winning the first two Olympic titles
as part of a 24-year winning streak. After defeating the Soviets in
1982, the United States put together a 42-game winning streak of its
own while winning two World Championships, two Goodwill Games
championships and two Olympic gold medals. The Unified Team won the
1992 Olympic championship, but at the Centennial Games, the balance of
power may be ready to shift again.
In 1996, 12 teams will compete for the gold medal -- four more than in
previous Olympic tournaments. The United States and the former Soviet
republics of Russia and Ukraine still will contend for top honors, but
the perennial powers will need to fend off threats from the defending
World Champions from Brazil as well as the 1992 Olympic silver
medalists from China. Australia, Canada, Cuba, Italy, Japan, Korea and
Zaire round out the Olympic field.
Korea won a silver medal in 1992, while Cuba defeated the Unified Team
in the preliminary round in 1992 before losing to the United States in
the bronze medal game.
The tournament is a new experience for Zaire as the first team from
Africa to earn a trip to the Olympic Games, but the Games are a
familiar setting for four-time Olympians ZHENG Haixia of China and
Teresa EDWARDS of the United States. EDWARDS earned the distinction as
the youngest women's gold basketball medalist as a 20-year-old in
1984, and could become the oldest basketball medalist in 1996 at the
age of 32. Edwards also is the only female player to win three Olympic
medals in basketball competition.
While Edwards may be women's basketball's winningest Olympian, Ujana
SEMJONOVA of the former Soviet Union was certainly the biggest. At
2.11m (6 ft. 11 in.) and 284 lbs., the towering SEMJONOVA helped lead
the Soviets to the first two women's gold medals in 1976 and 1980, and
still holds the Olympic record for most rebounds in a game with 21.
Although relatively new to the Olympic Programme, the history of the
women's tournament is filled with the exploits of some of the game's
greatest players. Nancy LIEBERMAN (USA, 1976), Ann MEYER (USA, 1976),
Cheryl MILLER (USA, 1984), Lynette WOODARD (USA, 1984) and Horencia
MARCARI (BRA, 1992) became global embassadors of the women's game
while Yevladia STEFANOVA (BUL, 1988) and Miyako OTSUKA (JPN, 1976)
entered the record book as two of the Olympic tournament's top
single-game scorers.
Women's Teams
AUSTRALIA
Consistently among the top medal contenders at the Games, Australia
finished fifth at the 1984 tournament. Although the team missed the
1992 Games in Barcelona, Australia upheld its reputation as an
international medal threat at the 1994 World Championships where
team finished fourth in front of a home-country crowd in Sydney.
Guard Shelley Gorman brings averaged 19 points per game at the world
championships and is expected to be joined by 1988 Olympic veteran
Roby Maher, who scored 22 points in the bronze medal game against the
Soviet Union.
BRAZIL
Although appearing in just its second Olympic Tournament, Brazil
quickly caught the eye of pre-tournament prognosticators after
capturing the world championship title in 1994. Although still
considered a top contender for a medal, Brazil may have to advance
through the Olympic tournament without national legend Horentcia
MARCARI who announced her retirement from the sport in 1995. Without
MARCARI in the lineup, Brazil will look to two-time Olympian Janeth
dos SANTOS and guard Paula DASILVA. dos SANTOS scored 85 points at the
1992 Games including 27 points against Cuba. Brazil won 13 of 22 gold
medals at the South American Championships including a medal in every
championship since 1952.
CANADA
Returning to the Games for the first time since 1984, Canada defeated
a highly regarded Cuban team, 80 - 73, to win the American Qualifying
Tournament championship. Looking to improve on its fourth-place finish
in 1984, Canada enters an athletic team of top rebounders led by
two-time Olympians Andrea BLACKWELL and Bev SMITH. SMITH also ranked
as the third-highest scorer at the 1984 Games with 85 points.
Backcourt standouts Shawna MOLCAK and Susan STEWART helped guide the
team to a seventh-place showing at the 1994 World Championships.
Making its third Olympic appearance, Canada lost to China in the 1984
bronze medal game, 63 - 57.
PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA
Looking to continue its success at the Olympic Games, China will again
try for an elusive gold medal after winning a silver medal in
Barcelona in 1992 and a bronze medal in Los Angeles in 1984. The world
championships runner-up in 1994, China's hopes center around four-time
Olympian ZHENG Haixia. One of the tallest women's player in the Games
at 6'9", ZHENG averaged 26.4 points and 13.1 rebounds per game in
earning most outstanding player honors at the 1994 World
Championships. Guards LI Xin, LI Dongmei and WANG Fang were all
members of the 1992 silver medal team. Making its fourth straight
appearance in the tournament, China lost to the Unified Team, 76-66,
in1992 championship game.
CUBA
The fourth-place team in Barcelona, Cuba returns an experienced squad
seeking to capture the country's first ever women's basketball medal.
With up to 10 members of the 1992 team expected on the roster, Cuba
features an up-tempo style of play that helped them earn a
second-place finish at the Tournament of the Americas and qualify for
its third Olympic tournament. Cuba's fourth-place finish in 1992 was
its best finish in Olympic competition after making its first
appearance in 1980. Forward Leonor Borrell finished among the top 10
scorers at the 1992 Games while Regala HERNANDEZ scored 32 points in a
preliminary round game against Brazil. Inside, the Cubans will look to
an imposing lineup of towering frontcourt players including Yamile
MARTINEZ and Milayda ENRIQUE.
ITALY
Following an eighth-place finish in Barcelona and an 11th-place
showing at the 1994 World Championships, Italy finished second at the
1995 European Championships as the Italians continue to improve in
international competition. Two-time Olympian Catarina POLLINI ranked
among the leading scorers at the world championships with 88 points
and earned a spot on the European Championship All-Star team. POLLINI
scored 27 points in a championship game loss to Ukraine. Another
two-time Olympian, Elena PAPARAZZO provides additional inside
rebounding strength. Making its second appearance at the Games, Italy
went 0 - 5 in its first visit to the tournament in 1992.
JAPAN
Playing in its first Olympic tournament in 20 years, Japan earned its
trip to the as the result of a third-place finish at the Asian
championships. Although lacking inside height, Japan has made the most
of the 3-point shot, relying on a trio of perimeter sharpshooters in
Mikiko HAGIWARA, Aki ICHIJO and Taeko OYAMA. Veteran center Takako
KATO ranks among the team's leaders in both scoring and rebounding,
while point guard Chikako MURAKAMI leads a patient and turnover-free
Japanese offense. In its only previous Olympic appearance, Japan
finished fifth in the inaugural six-team women's tournament in 1976.
KOREA
Making its third Olympic appearance, Korea returns to the tournament
for the first time since hostingGames in Seoul in 1988. Korea
relies heavily on the 3-point shot with CHUN Joo-Ween and YOUNG Joo
Yoo as two of the team's top 3-point threats. CHUN averaged close to
18 points per game and shot 50 percent from the 3-point range in
leading Korea to a second-place finish at the Asian Championships
while YOUNG led the team in scoring at the 1994 World Championships.
On the inside, center CHUNG Eun Soon scored 22 points against the
United States as Korea finished 10th at the 1994 World Championships.
The home team in 1988, Korea finished seventh in the tournament with a
77 - 59 win over Czechoslovakia in the classification game. Korea
captured the silver medal in 1984, losing to the United States 85 - 55
in the championship game.
RUSSIA
As part of the former Soviet Union and as members of the 1992 Unified
Team, Russian athletes have collected more gold medals than team
members from any other country. The Soviet Union won the sport's first
two gold medals in 1976 and 1980, before the Unified Team took top
honors in 1992. Now playing under the flag of the Russian Federation,
the Russian players could add to their collection of medals.
Three-time Olympian point guard Irina Sumnikova won a bronze medal
with the Soviet Union in 1988 and a gold medal with the Unified Team
in 1992 in addition to earning a spot on the European
All-Star team. Yelena BARANOVA also played for the Unified Team in
1992 while former Unified Team while 3-point threat of Irina
RUTKOVSKAYA led the team in scoring at the 1994 Goodwill Games with
17.8 points per game.
UKRAINE
A top contender for an Olympic medal, Ukraine beat powerhouse teams
Italy and Russia to claim the gold medal at the European
Championships. Participating in its first ever Olympic Games, Ukraine
features several of the 1992 Unified Team members who won the gold
dal in Barcelona. Olympian Marina TKATCHENKO was the fifth-leading
scorer at the European Championships with 17.3 points per game and
ranked second in steals. Another former Unified Team player, Elena
JIRKO is expected to join TKATCHENKO in a quest for a second gold
medal. The team's top rebounder, Loudmila NAZARENKO scored 21 points
in a win over Russia in the semifinals of the European Championships
to help Ukraine to the championship title.
UNITED STATES
After slipping to a third-place finish in Barcelona, the United States
enters the 1996 Games as a favorite to recapture the championship it
won in 1984 and 1988. Training and playing together for more than a
year, the United States introduced the concept of a "national team" in
preparation for the Games, and the unifying philosophy could pay off
in gold. Four-time Olympian Teresa EDWARDS could become the first
player, male or female, to win three basketball gold medals and will
be joined by a team of all-stars that includes collegiate players of
the year Katrina MCCLAINE (Georgia '87), Dawn STALEY (Virginia '91,
'92), Sheryl SWOOPES (Texas Tech '93), Lisa LESLIE (University of
Southern California '94) and Rebecca LOBO (University of Connecticut
'95). Guards Ruthie BOLTON, Carla McGHEE and Jennifer AZZI also played
on the 1994 bronze medal World Championship team while Nikki MCCRAY
and Katy STEDING won gold medals at the 1993 World Championship
Qualifying tournament.
ZAIR
The first African team to earn a spot in the Olympic tournament, Zaire
arned its trip to the Games by winning the first-ever African
continental qualifying tournament. Averaging 80 points per game, Zaire
went 5 - 0 in the tournament to qualify for the 12-team Olympic field.
Zaire defeated Senegal 68- 48 in the championship game to earn its
historic trip to the Games. Zaire last competed in a major
international tournament in 1990 when the team placed 15th at the 1990
World Championships.

History of Olympic Basketball
Invented by Dr. James Naismith in 1891 as a winter-time conditioning
sport, today's sport of basketball remains remarkably similar in form
to the original game. Although the original peach baskets have been
replaced by iron rims and Plexiglas backboards, 12 of Naismith's
original 13 rules still form the basis for today's game.
Basketball made its first appearance as a demonstration sport at the
1904 Games in St. Louis, but didn't become a medal sport until the
1936 Games in Berlin. During that first men's tournament, the games
were contested outdoor on a clay court. After heavy rains turned the
court to mud, the United States sloshed to a 19 - 8 win over Canada to
win the sport's first gold medal.
Forty years after the men first played in the Olympic Games, women were
included in the Olympic basketball Programme. The Soviet Union
women won the first gold medal in 1976, defeating the United States
team by a score of 112 ľ 77.
The Soviet Union women remained strong in Olympic competition winning
the gold medal again in 1980 and then in 1992 as the Unified Team,
beating the highly favored United States during the semifinals. At the
1988 Olympic Games, the number of women's teams increased from six to
eight and was increased again to 12 teams prior to the 1996 Games.

Stvari se komplikuju u prvoj grupi. Ako Hrvati izgube od Argentinaca
onda ce biti cetvrti i igrati sa nama u cetvrt-finalu.
Pa red je da ih vec jednom bijemo, a ovo je izvrsna prilika da
ih izbacimo u cetvrt-finalu.

To je prvo veliko iznenađenje na turniru. Sada se situacija u toj grupi
poprilično zakuvala. Da li neko zna šta se gleda u slučaju istog broja
bodova? Međusobni susret, koš razlika...?
A što se Amera tiče, oni se jednostavno rečeno za*ebavaju :)
kosarka.393bcvetkovic,
Sad cuh na TV Politici da je Barkli izjavio da su jedine ekipe koje ih
mogu pobediti ako im bude los dan Jugoslavija, Litvanija i Hrvatska.
Koliko se secam, na pocetku Olimpijade je pricao nesto u stilu "...ma,
kakva Jugoslavija, Litvanija i Hrvatska, nemaju teoretske sanse
protiv nas...". Sad je promenio misljenje. Inace, ja sam optimista! :)

Uz poruku je kompletan tekst sa jučerašnje konferencije za štampu na kojoj
su učestvovali Barkli i Redži Miler. Inače tekst je prilično zanimljiv, što
je za očekivati kada je u pitanju jedan Barkli, pa preporučujem da ga
pročitate. Izvukao sam baš taj karakteristični deo, koji su pomenuli na
TV Politici:
"... Let's be realistic, there are only three teams that can beat us:
Croatia, Lithuania and Yugoslavia. The rest of the teams, no matter how
bad we play, we'll beat. But we'll be really pumped for those three
games. That's when you'll see our best performances."
Samo da dođemo do finala... :)

I sad ako Hrvati pobede Argentinu dovoljnom razlikom može da se desi da igramo
sa njima u polufinalu jer mogu da budu drugi u grupi. Ako budu treći, ne
sastajemo se, a ako budu četvrti sastajemo se već u četvrtfinalu.

Evo intervjua sa Divcem i Danilovićem. Malo je duže, ali ipak šaljem
kao poruku pošto se radi i našim uzdanicama :)
July 25, 1996
Vlade Divac and Sasha Danilovic, Yugoslavia Basketball
Q What are your expectations? Do you sit there and say we'll worry
about the Dream Team later?
A (Vlade Divac) : So far we've beaten three teams. I hope we win both
[of our remaining].
Q Sasha?
A (Sasha Danilovic) : That's the main thing. We don't care about a
Dream Team right now. We are focusing on our group for the next two
games that we have to play. We want to finish in first place in our
group and then we think about other things.
Q Do you think there is any possibility that the Dream Team will be
beaten in this Olympics?
A (Vlade Divac) : Well, it's a hard question. So far they are playing
great basketball and they have a lot of talent on their team.
Hopefully [if] we're going to play against them in the finals we're
going to take it. But it's just tough to say. They are great. They
beat everybody by 20 at least.
Q How long do you think it would take for the world to catch up with
the U.S. and beat the U.S. team?
A (Vlade Divac) : I think the next four Olympics.
A (Sasha Danilovic) : I agree with Vlade. I don't think anybody can
beat the U.S. And maybe the next couple of Olympic games maybe we'll
catch up with them. I don't know.
Q What does it feel like for you playing professionally in America now
and now playing against those same guys you see on the court all the
time.
A (Vlade Divac) : It's fun. We are here to be part of the Olympics and
[it's] a dream come true to be a part of the Olympics and play for the
national team. It's fun for us.
Q Do you have mixed emotions ever because you've got a bit of American
soil too?
A (Vlade Divac) : I don't know. I think we are lucky that we have a
chance to play here and play against those guys in the Olympics. So
like I said before, if we have some chance to beat them in the finals,
definitely we're going to take it.
Q There was a controversy of you making the switch from the Lakers to
the Hornets. What are your feelings about coming to Charlotte now?
A (Vlade Divac) : I'm so happy I'm going there. And I'm looking
forward. In the seven years of being with the Lakers, I had wonderful
years and I'm ready to go to Charlotte and do the same thing, play
hard and try to win basketball games.
Q What do you think about the Hornets and what do you think you can
bring to the team?
A (Vlade Divac) : You know definitely they are a young team. And the
people over there like basketball. That is the most important thing
for me. What I can bring is fun and good basketball games.
Q Obviously, it's a major adjustment, not only for you, but the
family. Your wife Anna is an actress. What are her thoughts? How do
you adapt to the new community?
A (Vlade Divac) : She was the major role in my decision. I was
wondering what am I going to do, I'm going to stay in Los Angeles, I'm
going to move somewhere. And she told me "You've got to go and do your
best, and it's going to be better for us too." They are happy. They
are supporting me very much and I'm happy because of that.
Q Are you staying in a hotel or in the Village?
A (Vlade Divac) : In the Village.
Q The whole team?
A (Vlade Divac) : Yes.
Q What do you think about the super deluxe treatment of the Dream Team
and the hotels?
A (Sasha Danilovic) : That's their decision. We came here to be in the
Olympic Village and that's good enough for us. If they think it's fine
for them to stay over there, I don't know. I don't want to make any
comments about those things, because if they think maybe they will be
very bothered by the other athletes or press or whatever. I think
that's why they are staying over there.
Q You are fairly well known in this country and around the world. Are
you bothered by other athletes in the Olympic Village?
A (Vlade Divac) : Well, I'm part of them. So I'm not bothered. I'm
happy to be there. Because I'm really grateful and happy to be a part
of Olympic team and I want to be Olympian so I'm okay over there.
Q I'm sure you've seen the three games so far the Dream Team has
played. Why are they starting defensively? Last night was the first
time they broke 100-point barrier. What is their problem?
A (Vlade Divac) : I think it's a problem with international rules. We
have the same problem because of the zone and different balls and it's
very tough. It takes time to adjust. And they are going to be okay for
semi-finals and finals.
Q What are the other teams doing differently this year during the
Olympics than in Barcelona?
A (Sasha Danilovic) : We can't tell you anything about Barcelona
because we didn't play over there.
A (Vlade Divac) : I watched Barcelona and I can tell you international
teams are much closer now than used to be in Barcelona. So like I say,
three, four or five Olympics, definitely the international teams are
going to come closer to the NBA.
Q I talked to Gary Payton and he said he was having problems with the
difference between the international rules and the NBA.
A (Vlade Divac) : I think [it's] just time. It takes time to adjust,
and they are going to be okay, like I said, for semi-finals and
finals. They are such a talented team, we shouldn't be worried about
them.
Q The criticism they've been getting in terms of not blowing these
other teams out by 30 and 40 points a night.
A (Vlade Divac) : They are whipping, and I don't think anybody should
say anything against them.
Q What are your feelings about Shaquille O'Neal going to L.A.?
A (Vlade Divac) : I'm happy for him and the Lakers, too. They are
going to be a great team. And I'm looking forward to seeing how they
are going to play next year.
Q Do you think L.A. will be a big distraction considering all the
movies and commercials and videos?
A (Vlade Divac) : The main thing he has to do is play basketball. His
major job is basketball, so he's going to do a great job over there.
Q There is a difference between Los Angeles and Charlotte. Are you
looking forward to this change?
A (Vlade Divac) : After the Olympics, I'm going to go there and pick
up a place, go with my wife and see, you know, some, apartments. And
I'll see. I can't say anything now. Because, you know, I've never
lived there.
Q Is this the right time for a move?
A (Vlade Divac) : Yes. Definitely. I think it's the perfect time for
me to do something else, to improve in my career. And changing places,
I think, is the best thing to happen to me right now.
Q Describe to me how comfortable you feel in the [Olympic] Village and
what you really enjoy about living in the Village.
A (Vlade Divac) : You know living with my teammates in the same
apartment means a lot for me. Because we have played almost 12 years
together. And to be together right now means a lot for me. You know,
we talk about a lot of things because we didn't see each other for
four or five years. A lot of things change. A lot of guys get married,
have a kid. So we talked a lot about our family things in the Village.
Also you meet other people over there. The other day in Village was
Muhammad Ali. It was a great thing for us to see, a legend there, and
it's just nice to be there with all athletes in the world.
Q Do you think the Dream Team is over- rated this year? Is it really a
Dream Team?
A (Vlade Divac) : A Dream Team? They are not like a Dream Team I, but
they are still Dream Team.
Q Why do you think they are having a little trouble this year? Is it
the illegal defenses they claim they are having?
A (Vlade Divac) : I haven't seen any problems. They play good
basketball believe me. They beat everybody by 20 or 30 points. So I
don't see any problem they have.
Q The effect of the Dream Team is not limited in the States. I think
it affected the whole world. Has that been the case in Yugoslavia too?
Are the kids in Yugoslavia enthusiastic for the Dream Team.
A (Sasha Danilovic) : Sure. Everybody knows about the Dream Team. The
last Dream Team and the one right now. And everybody knows those
athletes. And I think they all are waiting for that match against
Yugoslavia, but they are very excited about them.
Q When you play against Dream Team, are the kids going to cheer for
you or the Dream Team?
A (Vlade Divac) : I guess for us. I'm not sure.
A (Sasha Danilovic) : I'm sure they will cheer for us.
Q Were you surprised the Dream Team was almost beaten by Argentina?
A (Vlade Divac) : I'm not surprised. Wherever you are, you can see a
lot of teams are getting better every year. International basketball
is catching up with NBA very fast. And I'm not surprised really. You
have a lot of good teams here.
Q Is the Dream Team the only team that is going to be unbeatable?
A (Vlade Divac) : My guess, yes.
Q Including your team?
A (Vlade Divac) : We're not going to give up. Definitely. But how
things are right now, I think they are going to be unbeatable.
Q So many people talk about the grueling NBA season, going through the
playoffs and then going to the Olympics. Sasha, having the injury I
know was devastating for you. But the fact that you are pretty rested
from not playing that many games, does that make you ready to go, is
it like a second chance for you?
A (Sasha Danilovic) : Yes. You can say that. I mean, I played the
first two months, then I got hurt. And then I came back in the first
round playoffs but we didn't have a chance against the Chicago Bulls.
Then I started practice. I was doing everything, you know, shooting,
running, I was in shape. So when I came with my national team, we had
a lot of pregames and I played them. I'm looking forward to play more.
And I'm very excited because of the fact that I didn't play for about
three months.
Q When Pat Riley went to the Miami Heat, they expected the Heat to be
a contender soon. He looked at the roster and said I have to start
over. He added Juwan Howard. I know Pat Riley didn't get to expose you
to a lot of people. But he feels you are one of the top guards in the
NBA.
A (Sasha Danilovic) : Obviously we have a better team now with Juwan
Howard and we signed Tim Hardaway and Alonzo [Mourning] is there. I
know our chances against the Chicago Bulls, but I think in a couple of
seasons we are going to be the team to beat, Miami Heat, that's for
sure.
Q I just watched on television some of the early U.S. games. Did you
see them?
A (Sasha Danilovic) : Yes.
Q Do you think that if they start fooling around in some of these
games and go like 44, 46 at halftime, that they are vulnerable to a
cold streak? It seems to me they've been counting on ability to turn
it on and score 17 to 2 at any time. Don't you think it's possible
they may get surprised if they do that?
A (Sasha Danilovic) : The surprises are possible. But I don't know how
many chances we all have to surprise them. Probably they fool around
like you said. Maybe they can get beat by some team, some very good
team.
Q Don't you feel that they are toying with these teams? Shaquille
O'Neal, they finally put him in. Penny Hardaway is not even playing at
the beginning. He's just playing with the rotation now, isn't he?
A (Vlade Divac) : The same thing happened with our team. The last
couple of games we beat Korea and beat Australia by more than 30
points. And our coach kept us almost entirely on the bench in the
second half. So making rotations so the other players can have a
chance to play and resting the other guys, because the quarterfinals
and the semi-finals are the most important games for both teams.
Q Talking about the lopsided scores, you won 118 to 65. You are
beating up on everybody.
A (Vlade Divac) : We have Dream Team 2 in this Olympics.

kosarka.408supers,
-> #379, nenad>> 3. Oćemo li proći Litvu u polufinalu? ;)
Ja inače pojma nemam O:) ali na ovo ću da odgovorim...
S obzirom na to kakav su otpor Litvanci pružili Amerima u prvom
poluvremenu BEZ Sabonisa i Marčuljonisa, postoji mogućnost
da nas *samelju*. Očigledno, to uopšte nije tim koji se oslanja na dva
nabeđena individualca, u toj maloj Litvaniji košarku jednostavno igraju
prokleto dobro. Ne kažem da naši ne mogu da ih prođu, ali samo uz
maksimalno zalaganje (a možda i malo sreće kao u Grčkoj).
kosarka.409wiper,
-> #408, supersPa na EP-u u Atini mi ih pobedismo dva puta. To vec sreca nije.
Ove Amerikance mozda"mozda"mozda pobedi neko jednom. Ali dva
puta sigurno niko nemoze.
Mislim da Litvanija ne igra nesto posebno Hrvate su jedva dobili
od Argentinaca izgubili. Mi smo igrali lose protiv Grka (prva
utakmica a Grci protiv nas uvek imaju motiv vise i ta utakmica
je za njih kao derbi Zvezda-Partizan za nas).
Utakmica sa Litvancima bice teska ali sigurnom igrom nasi ce
izaci kao pobednici.

ČETVRTFINALE: rezultati.
1. Litvanija - Grčka 99:66
2. Jugoslavija - Kina 128:61 (63:29)
3. Hrvatska - Australija 71:73
Nakon pobede nad Grčkom, novo iznenađenje australijske reprezentacije.
Dostignut je najveći uspeh australijske košarke - polufinale olimpijskih
igara. Australija je vodila prvo poluvreme, u jednom trenutku čak i sa
16 poena razlike. U drugom poluvremenu blaga prednost Hrvatske. Meč je
rešen u zadnjem minutu. Ronaldson je 34 sekunde pre kraja, pri nerešenom
rezultatu 66:66 pogodio trojku, pri šutu bio fauliran od strane Dina Rađe
i pogodio dodatno bacanje. Nakon ovog poraza Hrvatske, više nema ni
teoretske šanse da igramo protiv njih na ovoj olimpijadi.
Kukoč i Rađa najavili povlačenje iz dresa Hrvatske.
4. SAD - Brazil 98:75 (52:36)
Polufinalne utakmice igraju se kroz 2 dana a parove sačinjavaju po 2

Sigurno ste videli da se prilikom zakucavanja pojavljuje podatak tipa
HANG TIME: 0.78 sec
Da li je ovo dužina kačenja o obruč ili vreme provedeno u vazduhu (letenje)?

Nestrpljenje polako raste.
Ova utakmica Jugoslavija-Litvanija je kao docek nove godine.
Organizuje se drustvo i sve ostalo sto ide uz sedenje ispred
televizora.
Samo da dobijemo veceras Litvance.
A za finale posle nije bitno neka puknemo i sa 100 razlike samo
ove da oderemo (pa cak i sa jednim razlike)

Ma igraju oni bez ikakvog sistema, niti maju sistema na klupi. Sve u
svemu, jako čudno i loše izadnje Hrvatske. Poslednjih 5 minuta se cela
ekipa (sa sve trenerom :) drži za glavu, vrag će ga znati zašto. Možda ima
neke veze sa mentalnom energijom ;)

Sve u svemu, jedna bila poprilično teška i "tvrda" utakmica. Ekipe su
bile manje-više izjednačene tokom utakmice a naši su pobedili najviše
zahvaljujući odličnoj odbrani u poslednjih par minuta i isto tako dobrom
izvođenju slobodnih bacanja. Interesantno je da Litvanci uopšte nisu
pokušavali prekršajima da nešto učine u poslednjih 30 sekundi nego su
jednostavno "odgledali" kraj utakmice. Kod nas je nazapaženiji u finišu
bio Danilović. Đorđević je opet par puta u kritičnim trenucima povukao,
Rebrača mnogo bolji u duelu protiv Sabonisa nego prošle godine u Atini
kada je dobio po njonji ;) Obradović je takođe dobro uštopovao
Marčuljionisa koji je ipak daleko od prošlogodišnje forme. Divac je jedno
vreme uzalud pokušavao da se progura do koša pored Sabonisa no je na vreme
odustao ali je u odbrani bio mnogo bolji. Kod Litvanaca najbolji su bili
Sabonis, Kurtinaitis (hoće li ovaj skoro u penziju? :) i Karnišovas.

Dužina kačenja. Čini mi se da se, ako je kačenje predugo, dobija
i tehnička greška.

Mene je najviše iznenadilo to što je Perasović toliko grejao klupu tokom ovog
turnira. Uopšte mi nije jasno zašto?
