The superiority of Olympiacos was recognized by Velimir Perasovic after defeat of Unix Kazan, saying that the “red and whites” are among the favorites to qualify for this year’s Final 4.
«We played against a great team, one of the favorites for Final 4. He plays great defense. The score was 7-10 in overtime, nor could the opponent score. It was not a fight of attacks. Olympiakos was waiting for the changes in the defense, it had an excellent percentage of two points. We had a bad percentage, we easily lost baskets. The game was tough, a nice match.
In the period between the first and second period, we played badly in defense and allowed Olympiakos to gain an advantage. The key of the match was that we did not have a score at the beginning of extra time.
We played defense with changes and the experienced players of Olympiacos took advantage of this fact and our disadvantage. This explains the difference in assists. “Unfortunately, the match went to the side of Olympiakos, although we could have won as well,” said the Croatian coach initially.
For the bad decisions of his team: “When you lose you can say it. It was a difficult game, with a team in great shape. Beat Armani and Maccabi by a margin. This is how basketball is. It is not easy to say that you are happy. We had problems attacking the defense of Olympiacos».
