Bartzokas: “Attention, at a fast pace Monaco is better”

Giorgos Bartzokas drew the attention of his players to the rhythm that Monaco will try to impose in the game.

“You often get carried away because you score easily and they and suddenly the game leads to a tempo that you are not used to and in this they are better”, The coach of Olympiakos stated characteristically, emphasizing that Monaco is the first team in possession in the transition.

“In the attack we have to protect the ball. Making easy mistakes will create a good prospect for them to score easy points. We also have to go to the offensive rebound “, he added, while although he received a question about the acquisition of Eisi, he refrained from answering about his choice.

Details of what George Bartzokas stated:



On whether it is a priority to stop the Monaco transition game:

“Clearly. They are the first team in possession in the transition and the first team in percentage. So he likes to play at a very high pace. This gives her a lot of attacks and a lot of offensive rebounds because they do not always shoot at good rates and it is very important for us to control these things. In the attack we have to protect the ball. Making easy mistakes will create a good prospect for them to score easy points. We also have to go to the offensive rebound “.

About the not good percentages of Monaco and how he explains that he still wins games:

“In that he plays the game in many possessions and has a style that is not very common in the Euroleague. You often get carried away because you score easily and they and suddenly the game leads to a tempo that you are not used to and in that they are better “.

On whether 5-0 at home is the motivation for Olympiakos:

“It simply came to our notice then. Those who live the atmosphere here know that it is very supportive for the team. It’s definitely a push, but in the end basketball is what counts. He has to do the things you have to do well to win. There are many teams vying for the playoffs and Monaco is a tough competitor. I can not think of anything other than this game, which will be difficult. It is a team with talent and a deep roster. “We have to play a good game to win.”

For Mike James:

“Just the fact that James has the most playing time obviously shows that he is the most important player. He is a talented player and it is difficult to control everything in his game. You can control some and limit it “.

For the piece of fatigue and the fact that Olympiacos did not play at the weekend:

“It will seem. I have not talked about fatigue. I wanted to say that the other teams go through the same things we go through. We must not complain. It is early November. What will we say in February and March. The situation in the Euroleague is special “.

For Quincy Isi:

“It’s not time. I would say that now we have to deal with our team and the players who will play. We will have the opportunity to talk later and tell you what I thought “.
