In the duel that started at At 10:35 a.m. local time, Latvia quickly gained a big lead and defeated China 22:8.
As Miezis reveals, for breakfast the team ate coffee and apple pies brought by players Frančas Láčas and Sigmars Raimo. “From the first day, they make us happy with coffee and rolls, bringing them to bed, but it’s not forced,” the player said with a smile. “I really like the Olympics, because everything is free in the Olympics.”
“We have been training for many years Possessions in the hall at seven in the morning, therefore such an early game was not surprising and we knew how to prepare,” said Miezis about the early game time. Even though he came from the bench, Latvia started the match with two long shots from Lāčas, which Miezis also echoed after a moment, taking a 6-0 lead at that time. “Franci has a very good shot, nothing surprising,” said the flag bearer of the Latvian delegation at the opening ceremony of the games.
Miezis and Lasmanis have played in Chinese clubs for a long time, so they know the players of this country very well. Miezis emphasized that they told some details about the players, but the main thing in terms of tactics was the game plan prepared by the coach.
If from the previous game, in which Latvia defeated the Netherlands on Wednesday evening, until the duel with China, it was 16 hours, but there was also a night in between, now there are 12 and a half hours until the next duel, but without a night’s rest – the fight against one of the favorites, the USA, will start five minutes later after midnight Latvian time. “Such a game format is not in any tournament, now the main thing is to rest,” the player emphasized.
