Jose Alvarado, Puerto Rico’s point guard, spoke to Meridian Sport about the upcoming game against Serbia in the Olympic Games.
Puerto Rico was defeated by South Sudan, and Serbia faced a similar fate against the Team USA, making this game extremely significant for both teams. Jose Alvarado suffered an injury against South Sudan but has no doubt that he will be ready to play, even though he did not train at the last team practice:
“I’m doing well. I will definitely play. I took a little rest, but I’ll be ready. Serbia is a very good team. They have one of the best players in the world, Nikola Jokic. But the other guys are also great. Some are in the NBA, and others are playing excellently around the world.”
“We need to be aggressive and pay attention to the details. I can’t reveal our plan right now (laughs). It will be tough. Serbia plays brilliantly. We know how good they are, both individually and as a team. We’re excited. Serbia is a proud country. We’ve seen all the fans here. We’re coming to play against them,” says Jose Alvarado. When asked who is the craftier player, he had no doubts:
“Nikola Jokic does it better. I hope I’m like him in that respect.”
Serbia will play its second game in the Olympic Games on Wednesday at 5:15 PM against Puerto Rico. In the final game of the second round, Team USA will face South Sudan on Wednesday, starting at 9:00 PM
