The 26 year old who plays for Vasa Akademia in the
Hungarian league said their mission in Lagos is to finish the second phase on a
high note in time for World Cup in Spain.
“I expect everybody to have a solid focus. We are ready
to finish the second part of camp and get a solid defense going. I expect that
everybody will come in and stay focused because the second phase of the camp is
the most important.”
According to the former co-captain of the team, going by
the statistics of the friendlies played during the first phase of their camping
in Atlanta, the team’s offense has been great.
She expects that they can always get better with more
warm up games lined up by the Nigeria Basketball Federation.
The 26 year old who played a pivotal role in D’Tigress’
emergence as African Champions in 2017 while speaking on arrival in Lagos said
putting on the National team’s jersey and representing millions of Nigerians
comes with a bit of pressure on any player which for her is normal.
“I do feel the pressure but at the same time, I know that
my team has got my back. They can trust me and I can trust them and help me
keep being a leader.”
Despite the recent appointment of Adaora Elonu as
captain, Ezinne said she will continue to play her leadership role on the court
and give her best to bring glory to Nigeria anytime she steps on the court.
“As a point guard, I have to be a leader on the floor,
talk my team mates through and communicate”, she concluded.
