With injuries and other absences an issue, they\u2019ll be leaning on Flood in this week\u2019s FIBA World Cup pre-qualifiers. <\/em><\/p>\n<p>Timing matters in sport. Timing is why Ireland doesn\u2019t have its starting point guard, CJ Fulton, for this week\u2019s FIBA World Cup pre-qualifiers with Azerbaijan and Kosovo. It\u2019s also something Se\u00e1n Flood knows all too well. His return to the London Lions this past weekend gave him real minutes on a basketball court at a crucial time.<\/p>\n<h4>Getting the reps<\/h4>\n<p>The stat lines will hardly blow anyone away. Across two games with London Lions at the weekend, Se\u00e1n Flood scored 13 points on 5 of 11 shooting, to go with 6 assists and 2 rebounds. The stat that mattered was the first in the boxscore. Flood played 41 minutes and 19 seconds of basketball across those two games.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s the most significant time he\u2019d been able to manage on the floor in quite a while. Injury coupled with back court competition for the Lions meant he hadn\u2019t really been active in a while. Getting on the floor, including in crucial times when it mattered, in those wins over Cheshire Phoenix and Caledonia Gladiators, was crucial.<\/p>\n<p>Flood has long been one of the key men in the Ireland national team. The challenge for him coming into these FIBA World Cup pre-qualifiers was being fresh. Having a busy weekend where he mattered helped. London Lions don\u2019t play a style all that similar to Ireland. Flood will certainly be featured more by Mark Keenan offensively. Still, there was legitimate cause for concern at him coming in rusty to the games in Tallaght. The past weekend put those to rest.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"http:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- In Post Ad by Rob --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-8330822894995250\" data-ad-slot=\"1076584095\" data-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<h4>A less than ideal situation<\/h4>\n<p>The return of Se\u00e1n Flood to the floor with the London Lions will be of some relief to Keenan. While the Ireland national team coach was aware ahead of time that Fulton and other US based players would be missing due to NCAA duty, that wasn\u2019t the end of his troubles. Taiwo Badmus, the focal point of Ireland\u2019s offensive game, is out. Badmus, who players with Valur in Iceland, suffered an injury that ruled him out of the FIBA World Cup pre-qualifiers.<\/p>\n<p>This adds to the pressure on the roster which has already been dealt some blows this season. James Beckom, who was playing his basketball in Italy, suffered a season ending injury early in the campaign. Having healthy and available players is a luxury for Keenan right now.<\/p>\n<p>This week\u2019s opponents, Azerbaijan and Kosovo, both present mixed bags. At full strength, Ireland would be highly confident of beating both at home. With the absentee list growing, both now look much tougher encounters.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Athens adventure   Panathinaikos vs Olympiacos, and a dash of Peristeri\" width=\"837\" height=\"471\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LXXnWH0NUOQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><br \/>\n<strong><em>BallinEurope is ramping up its YouTube game this season. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/ballineurope\" rel=\"noopener\" >Subscribe to our channel now<\/a> for player exclusives, analysis videos, and much more.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h4>A winning culture<\/h4>\n<p>The circumstances for Se\u00e1n Flood this season are a touch different to last season. At Den Helder, in the BNXT League, he was the star on a team that just kept losing. Flood has to work more for his minutes with London Lions. Still, he\u2019s been able to enjoy being part of a side that has developed a winning culture.<\/p>\n<p>The assorted challenges <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ballineurope.com\/london-lions-will-honour-sam-dekkers-contract-8454\/\" rel=\"noopener\" >with the Lions<\/a> this past summer <a href=\"https:\/\/youtube.com\/playlist?list=PLxuo23nrTcR1Le1gDDJ6eQlo6JarBbnEW&#038;si=q-hJVhcSQQpnpahs\" rel=\"noopener\" >have been well covered<\/a> by this site. As a result, their Trophy campaign involved them working out their identity. Ever since the Super League Basketball season started, they\u2019ve been a different team entirely.<\/p>\n<p>The Lions lead the league with a perfect 5-0 record. Matters are still quite early but Flood is coming into the Ireland national team camp bringing that winning mentality with him. It\u2019s going to matter because Ireland have played from underneath for most of their past two campaigns. Being able to show a bit of swagger is almost necessary at this stage of the FIBA World Cup pre-qualifiers.<\/p>\n<p><b><i>BallinEurope has a book, a real life actual book called I Like it Loud, and you can buy it on Amazon now.

Realistically, there are two maybe three more international campaigns where the Ireland national team can lean on him. Fortunately for him, those will cross over with the generation behind moving on from NCAA ball to being back in Europe.<\/p>\n<p>Flood will be able to rely in Fulton for future FIBA World Cup and Eurobasket qualifiers. Sam Alajiki, ND Okafor and more will also suit up alongside the London Lions man. The availability issues for the national team should be reduced after this campaign. What sort of position Ireland is in for those campaigns is what\u2019s at stake now.<\/p>\n<p>A win over Azerbaijan feels the most vital but in truth Ireland need to win both games. Going 2-0 this week moves them to 2-2. It means progress to the second round isn\u2019t unthinkable. More importantly, rankings points are vital to get a better seeding in the next two cycles. That\u2019s a big ask, particularly down key bodies, but it\u2019s what feels necessary.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ballineurope.com\/sean-flood-and-the-importance-of-timely-minutes-8501\/\">Se\u00e1n Flood and the importance of timely minutes<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ballineurope.com\/\">BallinEurope<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<h2><b>Commercials Cooperation Advertisements:<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<p><br>(1) IT Teacher IT Freelance<br> <\/p>\r\n<a href=https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress><img src=http:\/\/gamefootballmobileanimeiphone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/ITTeacherITFreelance-Website.png alt=IT\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2 java\u88dc\u7fd2 \u70ba\u5927\u5bb6\u914d\u5c0d\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2,IT freelance, \u79c1\u4eba\u8001\u5e2b, PHP\u88dc\u7fd2,CSS\u88dc\u7fd2,XML,Java\u88dc\u7fd2,MySQL\u88dc\u7fd2,graphic design\u88dc\u7fd2,\u4e2d\u5c0f\u5b78ICT\u88dc\u7fd2,\u4e00\u5c0d\u4e00\u79c1\u4eba\u88dc\u7fd2\u548cFreelance\u81ea\u7531\u5de5\u4f5c\u914d\u5c0d\u3002\/><\/a><p><a href=https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/findteacher>\u7acb\u523b\u8a3b\u518a\u53ca\u5831\u540d\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2\u8ab2\u7a0b\u5427! <\/a><br>\r\n\r\n\u7535\u5b50\u8ba1\u7b97\u673a -\u6559\u80b2 -IT \u96fb\u8166\u73ed\u201d ( IT\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2 ) \u63d0\u4f9b\u4e00\u500b\u65b9\u4fbf\u7684\u7535\u5b50\u8ba1\u7b97\u673a \u6559\u80b2\u5e73\u53f0, \u70ba\u5927\u5bb6\u914d\u5c0d\u4fe1\u606f\u6280\u672f, \u96fb\u8166 \u8001\u5e2b, IT freelance \u548c programming expert. \u8b93\u5927\u5bb6\u65b9\u4fbf\u5730\u5c31\u80fd\u627e\u5230\u5408\u9069\u7684\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2, \u96fb\u8166\u73ed, \u5bb6\u6559, \u79c1\u4eba\u8001\u5e2b.  <br>\r\n\r\nWe are a education and information platform which you can find a IT private tutorial teacher or freelance. <br>\r\n\r\nAlso we provide different information about information technology, Computer, programming, mobile, Android, apple, game, movie, anime, animation\u2026 \r\n<\/p>\n<p><br>(2) ITSec<br> <\/p><a href=https:\/\/itsec.vip><img src=http:\/\/gamefootballmobileanimeiphone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/ITSec-Main-Promotion-Image.png alt= https:\/\/itsec.vip\/\r\nSecure Your Computers from Cyber Threats and mitigate risks with professional services to defend Hackers.  \r\nITSec provide IT Security and Compliance Services, including IT Compliance Services, Risk Assessment, IT Audit, Security Assessment and Audit, ISO 27001 Consulting and Certification, GDPR Compliance Services, Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA), Penetration test, Ethical Hacking, Vulnerabilities scan, IT Consulting, Data Privacy Consulting, Data Protection Services, Information Security Consulting, Cyber Security Consulting, Network Security Audit, Security Awareness Training.\/><\/a> \r\n<br><br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/itsec.vip>www.ITSec.vip<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/sraa.com.hk>www.Sraa.com.hk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/itsec.hk>www.ITSec.hk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/penetrationtest.hk>www.Penetrationtest.hk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/itseceu.uk>www.ITSeceu.uk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\nSecure Your Computers from Cyber Threats and mitigate risks with professional services to defend Hackers. <br><br>\r\nITSec provide IT Security and Compliance Services, including IT Compliance Services, Risk Assessment, IT Audit, Security Assessment and Audit, ISO 27001 Consulting and Certification, GDPR Compliance Services, Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA), Penetration test, Ethical Hacking, Vulnerabilities scan, IT Consulting, Data Privacy Consulting, Data Protection Services, Information Security Consulting, Cyber Security Consulting, Network Security Audit, Security Awareness Training. \r\n<br><br>Contact us right away. <br><br>Email (Prefer using email to contact us): <br>SalesExecutive@ITSec.vip<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"667\" height=\"667\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ballineurope.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Sean-Flood-for-feature-667x667.jpg\" class=\"attachment-post-image size-post-image wp-post-image\" alt=\"Se\u00e1n Flood returned to the London Lions at a time when the Ireland team need him to get real basketball minutes ahead of their FIBA World Cup pre-qualifiers\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/div>\n<p>Se\u00e1n Flood returned to the floor for London Lions at the weekend and it came at a vital time for the men\u2019s Ireland national basketball team.
