Eisi: “My strength has been and will always be the defense”

From noon on Wednesday (03/11), the Quincy Isi belongs to his family Olympic, signing a cooperation contract until the end of the season and with the option of renewal until 2023.

A day later, the 31 year old center gave his first big interview on the official site of the “red and whites”, stating the reasons why he decided to come to the team of George Bartzokas. At the same time, he appeared determined to help the team achieve their goals, while he also stood by his strong point which is none other than the defense!

Details of what Quincy Aisi said:

“I was waiting for the right opportunity. In the past I was looking at other perspectives and I just wanted to take my time to make sure that my decision would be the right one, both for me and my family. “I wanted it to be the right club,” he said, commenting on the fact that the start of this season did not find him in a team, although he had several offers in his hands.

However, the proposal of the “red and whites” could not be rejected and there were several reasons for this… “My former coach in Maccabi, Giannis Sfeiropoulos, always spoke warmly about Olympiacos. So did Othello Hunter. Also, my former teammate, Tyler Dorsey, told me the best. I asked them a lot of questions, because as I said before, I wanted to make the right decision. So I did my research and found it to be a good opportunity. The players, the coaches, the administration, the city, everything counted and Olympiacos meets all the conditions. It is one of the top clubs in Europe “.

Referring to what he will offer to the game of the Piraeus team, he said: “My strength has been and will always be the defense! Defense! Defense! Defense! This is my trademark! I play hard, I’m a winner and I play basketball the right way. I want to believe that my teammates will love me. I want to believe that the city and the team will love me! I bring to the table experience, toughness, ‘hunger’ and the will to learn. My goal is to contribute to the team. I hope that everything will go well and that we will be able to win titles! “

Quincy Aisi has twice faced Olympiakos as a player of Maccabi Tel Aviv. Both won. The “red and white” world, however, made a special impression on him. “The fans are great and the atmosphere they create is also great. I know the history of the team and I am excited to be a member of it! ”



Asked about his personal goals, he replied: “I want to integrate as soon as possible and not take something from the team, but add value and quality. My goal is what it always was: To win! That’s why I play basketball, because I want to win. I want to win championships and I contribute so that the city is decorated with more trophies! “

Finally, he did not fail to mention the “red and white” wave of love that he “receives” after the formalization of his collaboration with Olympiakos. “I am constantly receiving messages. From what I understood, my transfer was announced when it was early in the morning, because I was sleeping and when I woke up I found many messages on my cell phone and social media. I did not have much time to see all the messages, but I appreciate all the love. I like seeing all these red and white messages. Also, my family is excited! I do not see the time to come to Greece! I want to say a big thank you to the fans for all the support and to assure them that I will play hard and do everything to help us win titles. “
