They will challenge the Napos Vysoká nad Labem team in a two-match series. The first match will take place on Saturday, May 4th from 5:00 p.m. on the team from the east of Bohemia, the second duel is scheduled for Sunday, May 5th from 2:00 p.m. in the sports hall of TJ Slavia in Kroměříž.
“Vysoká nad Labem is a team made up of former and current players of Hradec Králové. The East Bohemians try to play fast basketball, use shooters from a distance, and their high pivots in the limited area are annoying. The team’s best scorer is Ondřej Peterka, an experienced long-time player who played in the NBL. Peterka scores an average of 20 points per game. Jan Mráz and Jiří Svojanovský are also great shooters,” said Kroměříž coach Jan Hlobil, briefly introducing the final opponent.
The Hanáci are clear about the tactics in both duels.
“We will play as a team and base our tactics on fast basketball. In order to succeed in both games, we have to convert free kicks. It is also necessary to eliminate the biggest supports of Vysoké nad Labem,” he knows the recipe for defeating the strong rival Hlobil.
If the Kroměříž team succeeds in the final series, they will advance to the tie for the 1st league.
