Drazen's school on physical condition

It's late in the game. Everybody is tired, looking for any kind of break... but in most case these are the moments that counts the most. Only the ones with great physical condition can keep focus and strength in such moments. Thanks to Drazen's physical condition, his late points helped Croatia beat Russia in semifinals of the Barcelona Olympics.


At this moment all of 5 defenders are in front of Drazen (with the ball).

Drazen goes full speed. Still all 5 defenders are in front of him.

While the defense is spread out, Drazen uses the space for a fast penetration.

3 defenders don't even know what is happening. Other 2 are not ready.

Drazen goes fast and strong to the basket. Too much for the Russians.

After 38 minutes, Drazen looks fresh and runs back to the defense.
